Abstract

This study was carried out at the Experimental Nursery of Department of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, Horticultural Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Dokki, during the two successive seasons of 2003 and 2004.  The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of organic fertilizer (compost) at the rate of 25, 50 and 75 g/pot, and bio-fertilization (active dry yeast, ADY) at 5g/ L on the growth, oil yield and chemical composition of lavender (Lavandula multifida L.) plants. Two cuts were taken during two seasons. Data on vegetative growth, flowering, essential oil production and plant constituents were recorded. The results revealed an increases in plant height, No. of branches/plant, No. of leaves/plant, No. of main spikes/ plant, total fresh and dry weights/ plant, volatile oil percentage in both leaves and spikes, leaves and spikes oil yield/ plant, total volatile oil yield/ plant. Furthermore, results of GLC analysis of the essential oil components revealed an increment in 1, 8 cineole, linalool, linalyl acetate and borneol. Also, there were increments in photosynthetic pigments contents, carbohydrates content and mineral contents due to the treatments of compost either alone or in combination with active dry yeast. This could result in environmentally safe plants to minimize the hazards of pollution caused by using mineral fertilizers.
