Essential Oil Chemical Composition of Lavender Varieties Cultivated in an Untraditional Agro-Ecological Region

Abstract

A field experiment has been conducted in the region of Dobrudja with the aim to investigate the essential oil yield and its chemical composition by four lavender varieties: Hemus, Sevtopolis, Yubileyna and Druzhba. The experiment has been arranged according to the Randomized Complete- Block Design in four replications and a plot size of 10 m2. The essential oil yields varied from 90 l ha-1 by the variety Hemus to 131 l ha-1 by the variety Sevtopolis. The major constituents of the essential oil were linalyl acetate (25.5-39.7%) and linalool (27.6- 38.9%). The content of linalyl acetate was the highest by the variety Hemus, as only by this variety the ratio between linalyl acetate and linalool is 1:0.7, which defined the essential oil as high qualitative.
