Vitamin C, Chlorophyll Content and Total Phenolic Compounds in Artemisia lactiflora as Affected by Different Organic Fertilizers

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The objectives of this current study were to determine the varying contents of vitamin C, chlorophyll, total phenolic compounds in White mugwort (Artemisia lactiflora) which were tested under different types of organic fertilizer.Completely randomized design with four treatments (applications of no fertilizer, cow, chicken and bat manures) was assigned for the field experiments at Department of Medicinal Plant Science, Faculty of Agricultural Production, Maejo University in Chiang Mai, Thailand.The results showed that the sampled plants with chicken manure application yielded the highest fresh (31.00±1.00g FW/plant) and dried weights (3.20±0.20 g DW/plant).Furthermore, plants with chicken manure treatment also gave the highest chlorophyll content of 0.93 mg/g FW.Whereas, the highest levels of vitamin C (1.35 mg/100g FW) and total phenolic compounds (4.84 mgGAE/g DW) were found in plants with cow manure treatment.
