In order to investigate the effect of biological and organic fertilizers on the yield (quality and quantity) of chicory forage under rainfed condition, a factorial experiment was conducted at Urmia University based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2016. Treatments included control, Mycorrhiza (AMF), Thiobacillus bacteria (Thio), AMF+Thio, Vermicompost (V), AMF+V, Thio+V and AMF+Thio+V that their effects were evaluated in two growth stages (before stem elongation and full flowering). In comparison with control, the AMF+Thio+V increased dry forage yield, dry matter digestibility, crude protein yield and water soluble carbohydrates yield 99.72%, 143.21%, 68.54% and 76% in full flowering stage, respectively, and this treatment had lowest acid detergent fiber content at both growth stages among all treatments. In general, the use of Mycorrhiza and Thiobacillus together with vermicompost, improved the quantitative and qualitative performance of chicory forage in rainfed condition.

To study effect of Fe and Zn spraying on some characteristics of mungbean, an experiment was designed as factorial based on randomized complete block with three replications in Urmia University, 2012. Treatments were nutrition systems (organic, chemical, integrated and no nutrition) and micronutrients (Fe, zinc, no foliar application and water spraying). The plant height, pod length, number of pod, number of grain in pod, and grain yield were obtained from plants treated with organic as well as chemical and integrated fertilization systems. With regards to obtain the maximum biomass (3421.8 kg/ha) and eco-friendly benefits of organic system, it is recommended as suitable fertilization treatment. The highest plant height (37.78 cm) and grain yield (800.8 kg/ha) obtained from Zn spraying, while the highest biological yield (3250.80 kg/ha) from Fe spraying and foliar application of micronutrients were the same, statistically. In conclusion, Zn and Fe spraying cause to increase the yield and yield component of mungbean.
