Oregano (Lippia graveolens) of the family Verbenaceae is an aromatic plant that is distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of Mexico; it is used as a condiment for food, production of cosmetics, drugs and liquors, reasons that make it an export product. In order to determine the best environment and type of fertilization that promotes agronomic variables, we set ourselves the objective of evaluating the production of biomass and concentration of minerals in three growing environments: greenhouse, shade mesh, and open field, and treatments with chemical fertilization with Steiner solution (SS) (0%, 50%, and 100%) and biological fertilization (four strains of Azospirillum spp.) in a 3 X 5 factorial arrangement, with a total of 15 treatments in each environment. The work began in July 2019 in General Cepeda, Coahuila. The environment with the highest production values was GRE with: PD (57.56 cm), FW (240.94 g), DW (79.86 g), DSW (34.35 g), and DLW (41.26 g). T3 (100% SS, without Azospirillum sp.) resulted in better values of PH (80.78 cm), PD (56.76 cm), FW (260.45 g), DW (103.36 g), DSW (43.36 g), and DLW (53.45 g). For minerals, the SM environment was better in N and K with 14 451.1 and 9 108.1 mg kg-1, respectively, and the GRE for: P (4 206.95), Ca (17 486.5), Mg (1 741.11), Cu (8.24), and Zn (31.49) mg kg-1.
