Abstract

This research has been conducted under Konya ecological conditions to determine the effect on yıeld and quality some characters of nitrogen fertilizers applied at the different doses of Sideritis congesta in Medicinal Plants laboratory and Medicinal Plants Experimental Farm of Agriculture Faculty, Selcuk Universty. Experiment was designed and applied in randomized complete plotdesign with three replications in the year of 2012-2013. According to results of this researh; the plant height of Sideritis congesta was varied between 58.66-64.33 cm, the number of flowering branches 49.00-55.00, fresh flowering yield 446.66 - 623.33 kg/da, essential oil yield 0.24-0.33 % and major essential oil component (β –pinene) 43.24 and 48,45. The highest drug flower yield and essential oil yield for mountain tea in Konya and similar ecology 10 kg/da nitrogen fertizer application is reasonabled.

The Investigation on Drug Yield and Some Quality Characteristics of Mountain Tea (Sideritis congesta) Cultivated in Turkey

Abstract

This
research has been conducted under Konya ecological conditions to determine the effect
on yıeld and quality some characters of nitrogen fertilizers applied at the different
doses of Sideritis congesta in Medicinal
Plants laboratory and Medicinal Plants Experimental Farm of Agriculture Faculty,
Selcuk Universty. Experiment was designed and applied in randomized complete plotdesign
with three replications in the year of 2012-2013.  According to results of this researh; the plant
height of Sideritis congesta was varied
between 58.66-64.33 cm, the number of flowering branches 49.00-55.00, fresh flowering
yield 446.66 - 623.33 kg/da, essential oil yield 0.24-0.33 % and major essential
oil component (β –pinene) 43.24 and 48,45. 
The highest drug flower yield and essential oil yield for mountain tea in
Konya and similar ecology 10 kg/da nitrogen fertizer application is reasonabled.
