Effects of various fertilizer mixture applications and harvesting time on main volatile compounds of thyme (Thymus sipyleus BOISS. subsp. sipyleus BOISS. var. sipyleus L.)

Abstract

The thyme (Thymus sipyleus BOISS. subsp. sipyleus BOISS. var. sipyleus L.) plant was rooted from its natural environment at an altitude of 1750 m from Beyşehir Muslu Yayla location and was cultured at 1345 m altitude in Beyşehir İslibucak. Nitrogen + Phosphorus + Potassium (K1), Micro Elements (Boron + Copper + Iron + Manganese + Molybdenum + Zinc) (K3) and Nitrogen + Phosphorus + Potassium + Micro Elements (Boron + Copper + Iron + Manganese + Molybdenum + Zinc) (K2 and K4) was used as fertilizer mixtures for thyme production. Plant samples were harvested in three separate periods in August, September and October 2019 and SPME-GC-MS was used for the analysis of its volatile components. The results showed that the applied fertilizer mixtures and the harvest period provided a variety in the amounts of the thyme plant main volatile components. The highest value of p-cymene (43.76%) in the October harvest of thyme produced using K4 fertilizer mixture application, the highest value of γ-terpinene (24.79%) in the August harvest of thyme produced using K4 fertilizer mixture application, the highest value of thymol (20.26%) in the August harvest of thyme produced using K3 fertilizer mixture application and the highest value of carvacrol (67.01%) in the September harvest of thyme produced using K1 fertilizer mixture application were observed.

Çeşitli gübre karışımı uygulamaları ve hasat zamanının kekik (Thymus sipyleus BOISS. subsp. sipyleus BOISS. var. sipyleus L.) bitkisinin ana uçucu bileşenleri üzerine etkileri

Abstract

Kekik (Thymus sipyleus BOISS. subsp. sipyleus BOISS. var. sipyleus L.) bitkisi Beyşehir Muslu Yayla mevkiinden 1750 m yükseltiden doğal ortamından köklenerek, Beyşehir İslibucak mevkiinde 1345 m yükseltide kültüre alınmıştır. Kekik üretimi, Azot + Fosfor + Potasyum (K1), Mikro Elementler (Bor + Bakır + Demir + Mangan + Molibden + Çinko) (K3) ve Azot + Fosfor + Potasyum + Mikro Elementlerden (Bor + Bakır + Demir + Mangan + Molibden + Çinko) (K2 ve K4) oluşan gübre karışımlarının uygulanması ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kekik bitkisi örnekleri ağustos, eylül ve ekim 2019 aylarında üç ayrı dönemde hasat edilmiş ve uçucu bileşenlerinin analizinde SPME-GC-MS kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, uygulanan gübre karışımlarının ve hasat döneminin kekik bitkisi ana uçucu bileşenlerinin miktarlarında çeşitlilik sağladığını göstermiştir. p-simenin (%43.76) K4 gübre karışımı uygulamasının ekim hasadında, γ-terpinenin (%24.79) K4 gübre karışımı uygulamasının ağustos hasadında, timolün (%20.26) K3 gübre karışımı uygulamasının ağustos hasadında ve karvakrolün (%67.01) K1 gübre karışımı uygulamasının eylül hasadında en yüksek değerlerde olduğu görülmüştür.
