Abstract:
Organic fertilizers are useful substitutes to inorganic fertilizers which improve the soil quality. In the present work, it was shown that organic fertilizers works better on primary metabolite contents of Ocimum basilicum and Marjorana hortensis than chemical fertilizers. Marjorana plant showed increased primary metabolite content compared to Ocimum plant under the treatment of organic fertilizers, but there was significant difference between the two plants indicating organic fertilizers were better. It concludes in general that applying organic fertilizers to the plants is an ecofriendly technique to improve the yield and quantity of the plants.
