Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate possible effects of control (without inoculation and any fertilizer application) chemical fertilizer, farmyard manure, one plant growth regulators (IAA), two commercial liquid bio-fertilizer (BMusaVita and BMusaGreen) and IAA-producing, ACC deaminase-containing, N2-fixing, and P-solubilizing bacteria based bio-fertilizers in six single, one dual, four triple, and two quadruple combinations plant height, number of branches, total number of capsules, number of seeds in capsule , seed weight in capsule, plant grain yield of Nigella damascena black cumin genotype under field conditions of Burhaniye/Balıkesir, in two years. The experiments were arranged to completely randomized block design with nineteen treatments and three replicates. BMusaVita, BMusaGreen, RC512 and RC481 applications had values above the general average of each feature in all of the examined features.In the biplot analysis, the number of seeds in the capsule and the weight of the seeds in the capsule formed a group, while plant height, plant seed yield, number of branches and number of capsules formed a second group. RC502, chemical fertilizer, RC481, BMusaGreen, BMusaVita and RC481+RC210+RC32+RC502 applications are diagonally separated from other applications in the sections where the examined features are included. In the biplot created to determine the best practice, RC481, BMusaGreen and BMusaVita applications were located closest to the ideal application area, followed by RC512, RC210, RC536+RC542+RC65+RC502 and chemical fertilizer applications. From these applications, it can be evaluated that RC481 application has the potential to be used as a biological fertilizer in black seed cultivation as an alternative to chemical fertilizer.
