    -1- Introduction

    Medicinal plants are plants that one or some of their organs contain active substances that have bioactivating effects in living organisms. Also, planting, keeping and harvesting of these plants is done in order to use their effective substances (Fattahi, 2009). Medicinal plants have three practical aspects: medicinal, spice and aromatic (Omidbeigi, 2018). Economic factors are one of the most important factors in the production, cultivation and processing of medicinal plants and the herbal medicine production industry. According to the statistics and figures reported in different sources, the production of medicinal plants has a higher added value compared to other agricultural and garden plants. Also, due to the global acceptance of the use of herbal medicines, the pharmaceutical industry in this sector has also experienced a good economic boom (Omidbigi, 2014). Summer savory is a one-year plant and winter savory is a perennial and evergreen plant that is widely cultivated and used as a spice to flavor foods and as a fresh vegetable or as green tea, and these two species have taken a large part of the savory trade The summer savory species is native to southern Europe, but it has been naturally established in part of North America. The origin of the origin (flavor) is the third geological period, which has been spread in dry habitats since this period. Summer savory medicinal plant as an invigorating stimulant, to strengthen the stomach, disinfect, facilitate digestion and so on. is used. According to some reports, Marzah has been used to treat cancer.. The main compounds found in summer salt and winter salt are phenolic thymol and carvacrol compounds. In addition, there are other monoterpene and sesquiterpene compounds in their essential oils (Jemzad, 2008). The place where Marzeh grows in Iran includes North-West, Tabriz, Khoy, Arsbaran and various parts of Khorasan. This plant is cultivated as an edible vegetable and its dry use in spices is common in different parts of Iran (Salehi Surmoghi, 2015). Due to the importance of this research, it is necessary to investigate the effect of organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers on the yield, quantity and quality of the active substances of the summer sweet medicinal plant and its application in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic industries and its economic importance. Organic: vermicompost and animal (sheep) and chemical fertilizers: nitrogen (urea), phosphorus and potassium on the growth and performance of the summer sweet medicinal plant and in order to determine the best fertilizer treatment and its effect on the amount of essential oil obtained and some other quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the summer sweet. The specific objectives of this research: Investigating the effect of organic fertilizers on the growth and performance of the summer savory medicinal plant. Investigating the effect of chemical fertilizers on the growth and performance of the summer savory plant. Investigating the amount and composition of essential oil in the treatments of organic fertilizers of summer savory plant. Investigating the amount and composition of essential oil in chemical fertilizer treatments of summer savory plant. The practical purpose of this research: to determine the best combination of organic fertilizer in order to increase the growth and increase the essential oil of the summer savory medicinal plant. The final goal of this research: determining the best combination of organic fertilizer in order to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and help preserve the environment and produce organic (natural) and healthy food products. Research hypotheses: organic fertilizers have an effect on the growth, quantity and performance of the summer savory medicinal plant. Chemical fertilizers also have an effect on the growth, quantity and performance of summer savory medicinal plants. Organic fertilizers are effective on the amount of effective substances and the quality of the essential oil of the summer savory medicinal plant. Chemical fertilizers have an effect on the amount of effective substances and the quality of the essential oil of the summer savory medicinal plant. The vegetative characteristics of the savory medicinal plant are different under the influence of different organic fertilizer treatments. The vegetative characteristics of the savory medicinal plant are different under the influence of different chemical fertilizer treatments. Chemical and organic fertilizer treatments affect the quality and quantity of the essential oil of the savory plant. The treatments of the control samples that were grown naturally and without the use of different chemical and organic fertilizers have different values ??in terms of the aerial organs and the amount of essential oil obtained, with the samples of the treatments that were grown with chemical and organic fertilizers in terms of the growth rate and the amount of effective substances. The importance and necessity of conducting research: Today, conducting research on reducing the amount of use of chemicals (fertilizers and poisons) in the production of crops and the production of healthy natural and organic food products can help human health and protect the environment. The use of organic materials and organic cultivation is widely used today because chemical fertilizers can act as one of the environmental pollutants and endanger the environment. Therefore, the use of organic materials and determining their concentration can increase the production and performance of plants and reduce the damage caused by chemical fertilizers. The production and cultivation of summer savory medicinal plant, which has medical, food and cosmetic applications, expresses its economic importance. Considering the medicinal and therapeutic properties of the summer savory plant and the effects of its active ingredients and essential oil, the need to conduct wider research, the production and marketing of various products of this plant doubles. Due to the economic importance of the production and breeding of the summer savory medicinal plant, which has medical, food and cosmetic applications, and the added value of the summer savory plant essence and its medicinal properties, this plant was selected with the guidance of the respected professors. Today, in order to produce healthy agricultural products, the use of organic materials and fertilizers and organic cultivation have found many applications, because chemical fertilizers cause environmental pollution and cause irreparable damage to the environment and human health.
