In both tested seasons, the fertilization with compost (2 ton/fed.) + Chicken manure (2 ton/fed.) + 100kg feldspar + 100 kg rock phosphate mixed inoculation with Bacillus megatherium var. phosphaticum and B. circulanse were resulted the highest values of plant height, root length, number of tillers, fresh and dry weights of roots and shoots as well as oil % and oil yield.
