Abstract
A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of gamma radiation doses (0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 k-rad) with or without bio-fertilizers (at 2 kg/fed.) on growth and yield of Anethum graveolens L. plants.Adding bio-fertilizer to dill plants significantly increased plant height, number of branches, root length, fresh and dry weights. The treatment of dill seeds pre-sowing to gamma radiation doses (up to 32 k-rad) led to significant increase in plant height, branches number, fresh and dry weights of root, but root length, fresh and dry weights of herb up to 16 k-rad. The highest values of plant height, root length, fresh and dry weights of plant were recorded at the treatment of 2 k-rad combined with bio-fertilizers. While, the treatment of 4 k-rad combined with bio-fertilizer was superior in increasing numbers of branch compared to the other ones.
