EFFECT OF SOLUTION CONDUCTIVITY ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF ORIGANUM DICTAMNUS L. IN NUTRIENT FILM CULTURE |
| Author: | C.D. Economakis |
| Abstract:
The growth, yield and essential oil content of Origanum dictamnus L. (Cretan dittany) plants, growing under various electrical conductivity (E.C) levels (2.0–3.0–4.0 mS), were studied. Shoot fresh-dry weight and essential oil content were significantly affected by E.C. Increases in conductivity resulted in increased root dry weight. Essential oil content of leaves and bracts from N.F.T grown plants, was always higher, than that from the same plant population grown in the wild. | |
