Analysis of the aerial parts of Artemisia. Quttensis. Podlech growing wild plant by Flame atomic absorption and XRF techniques
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Kind and type of soil have considerable affect on evolution and growth of every medicinal plant, because the plants feed from air and soil for growing. Determination of mineral elements of plant and soil of habitat shows if thore exist K and Ca. which are needed for plant growth. Soil and plant samples were prepared for measurement, using XRF technique. The rate of CaO in plants leaf sample was 7.52% and in soil sample of growing place was 3.03% and in soil of blank sample was 2.69%. Measured composing percentage of K2O in the leaf sample, soil sample and blank soil sample were 5.19, 2.27 and 2.25 respectively. These results are in Full adaptation with plant growing rules.The age of plant can be estimated by K2O and CaO increase in the plant.
