EFFECT OF SALINITY AND COMPOST LEVELS ON GROWTH, CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND OIL PRODUCTION OF ROSEMARY (Rosemarinus of ficinalis L.) PLANT

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: The pot experiment was conducted during2006/2007 and 2007/2008 seasons in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Department at Dokky, Giza, Egypt, to investigate the effect of saline soil at the levels of (0, 1000, 3000 and 5000 ppm) and compost fertilization at the rates of 0, 0.5 and 1.0 kg/ pot (0, 5 and 10.0 ton/ fad.) on vegetative growth, chemical composition and oil yield production of rosemary plant. The results showed that increasing salinity levels reduced all vegetative growth, chemical composition and oil production, but application of compost reduced the harmful effects of saline and improvement the growth by increasing compost level.
