| Abstract:
Wider spacing favoured growth parameters of dragonhead plants. More yield and higher volatile oil content was obtained by using nitrogen fertilisation at a dose of 100kg feddan (4200m2). Volatile oil was composed mainly of acyclic oxygenated monoterpenes which made up 93% of the oil. The oil content of the flowers was double that of the leaves. | |
