One of the greatest challenges in recent years is providing enough food to feed the increasing world population, while available freshwater resources become limited. However, effective fertilizer management has also a fundamental role to improve yield quality and quantity. A field experiment was conducted over 2 years, using a split-plot arrangement in a randomized complete block design. The experiments had three water deficit severity treatments: 25% (control), 40% (mild stress), and 55% (severe stress) depletion from the available water. The subplot division consisted of six fertilizer treatments; FR₁: unfertilized (control), FR₂: 140 kg ha⁻¹ urea; FR₃: 105 kg ha⁻¹ urea + 3.3 ton ha⁻¹ vermicompost; FR₄: 70 kg ha⁻¹ urea + 6.6 ton ha⁻¹ vermicompost; FR₅: 35 kg ha⁻¹ urea + 10 ton ha⁻¹ vermicompost, and FR₆: 13.5 ton ha⁻¹ vermicompost. The maximum essential oil (0.97%) was observed under mild water deficit stress. The highest antioxidant activity (DPPH) and superoxide dismutase activity could be monitored under unfertilized and 140 kg ha⁻¹ urea fertilized conditions, respectively. Vermicompost-treated soils reduced antioxidant features, total phenol, and rosmarinic acid content under water deficit. These results indicate that mild drought stress can increases the synthesis of medical compound and vermicomposting can alleviate the impact of drought by conserving soil moisture and improve nutrient uptake. Therefore, the results suggest that using vermicompost as a fast-acting nitrogen amendment can improve the leaf area index.

近年来最大的挑战之一是提供足够的粮食来养活不断增长的世界人口，而可用的淡水资源却变得有限。但是，有效的肥料管理对改善产量质量和数量也起着根本性的作用。现场实验进行了2年，采用随机完整区块设计中的分割图布置。实验进行了三种缺水严重性处理：从可用水中消耗25％（对照），40％（轻度压力）和55％（重度压力）。该子图分区包括六种肥料处理；FR ₁：未受精（对照），FR ₂：140 kg ha ^-1尿素；FR ₃：105千克ha ^-1尿素+ 3.3吨ha ^-1Vermicompost; FR ₄：70公斤公顷^-1尿素+6.6吨公顷^-1蚯蚓; FR ₅：35公斤公顷^-1尿素+10吨公顷^-1蚯蚓和FR ₆：13.5吨公顷^-1蚯蚓。在温和的水分亏缺胁迫下观察到最大精油（0.97％）。最高的抗氧化活性（DPPH）和超氧化物歧化酶活性可以在未受精和140 kg ha ^-1的条件下进行监测尿素分别受精条件。在缺水的情况下，经micompost处理的土壤降低了抗氧化剂特性，总酚和迷迭香酸含量。这些结果表明，温和的干旱胁迫可以增加药物的合成，而ver堆肥可以通过保持土壤水分和改善养分吸收来减轻干旱的影响。因此，结果表明，使用ver粉作为速效氮改良剂可以改善叶面积指数。
