The effect of nitrogen and phosphorous quantities on the major components of Matricaria recutita L. including chamazulene and apigenin 7- glycoside

Abstract

ABSTRACT In order to investigate the effect of nitrogen (0, 50, 100 and150) and phosphorous (triple super phosphate (TSP)) (0, 75, 150 and 225 kg/ha) quantities on the quantities of major components in Matricaria recutita L. including chamazulene and apigenin 7-glycoside, a factorial experiment with a randomized complete block design (RCB) with three replications was carried out at theAgricultural Research Station of The University of Guilan, Iran. The results of this research showed that chamazulene increases with an increase in the quantities of nitrogen and phosphorous. The greatest chamazulene quantity was observed in the treatment with a nitrogen level of 150 and phosphorous level of 225 kg/ha with a quantity of 88.1% and the highest quantity of apigenin 7-glycoside was observed in a treatment with a nitrogen level of 50kg/ha and no phosphorous with a quantity of 0.088mg/ml. In terms of the increase of apigenin 7-glycoside, a consumption of up to 150kg/ha for nitrogen and phosphorous is recommended. For more than 150kg/ha, except for the treatment with a nitrogen level of 150 and phosphorous level of 225kg/ha, the quantity of apigenin 7-glycoside was decreased.
