Background & Aim: Drought stress, as a main abiotic stress, has a significant influence on growth and metabolic activities of plant species. In this study, the influence of reduced irrigation on dry herbage, essential oil yield, and chemical components of two thyme species were investigated. Experimental: This study was done in an experimental greenhouse, I.A.U., Shahrekord Branch, Iran at 201...

background: biostimulants are amino acids and organic components, which can play main role in the plant growth and dry matter accumulation. objective: determine the influence of foliar application of active amino acids on quality and quantity yield of melissa officinalis l. methods: this study was conducted in a research farm at the institute of medicinal plants on the base of randomized comple...

In order to study the effects of humic acid foliar spraying on morphological traits, photosynthetic pigmentation, and essential oil content of Dracocephalum moldavica, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in Saveh. The investigated factors included the use of humic acid at four levels 0 (control), 200, 400, and 800 mg/L and eth...

a study was conducted to investigate the effect of different planting densities and nitrogen doses on essential oil content and yield in herb and leaves of basil (ocimum basilicum l.). the research was conducted during 2007 and 2008 using split-plot randomized complete block design with four replications. the experiment consisted of four plant densities (30×20, 40×20 and 50×20 cm) as the main p...

Objective: Evaluation activity was conducted using three spearmint genotypes (WG-SPM-Engl, SPM-Fran and SPM-EAS) and one standard check (WGSM-03) at Wondo Genet, Awassa, Debre Zeit and Allagae during 2012 and 2013 for two years. Methods: The treatments were arranged in randomized complete block design with four replications. Data on leaf to stem ratio, leaf yield/ha, Essential oil content and e...

In order to investigate the effect of micronutrients foliar application on seed yield and essential oil of black cumin, a field experiment was conducted based on Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications at the farmlocated in Naqadeh city, West Azerbaijan province, Iran, during 2015-2016 growing season. Treatments were separate application of Nano-Iron, Nano-Zinc and Nano-...

abstract field experiment was carried out at the ferdowsi university research field, mashhad, iran during 2006-2007, to determine how much effective the n-fertilization is, to find out the most suitable plant density which could be used in chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l. asteraceae) to increase the yield of anthodium flowers and content of essential oil. the experimental design was as two f...
