EFFECT OF SOIL TYPE AND SALINITY ON GROWTH, YIELD AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF Artemisia annua PLANT

MOHAMMAD MAHMOUD NAGDY;

Abstract


In this investigation the possible effects of saline irrigation water
and / or soil types on the growth, yield and chemical composition of A.
annua were evaluated at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture,
Cairo University and National Research Centre (NRC), Egypt, during 2014
and 2015 seasons.
The obtained results summarized as follows:
The tallest plant (112.75cm) was obtained from control under sandy
loam soil while untreated plants (0.0 salinity) under clay soil produced the
highest branch number, herb fresh weight and herb dry weight with values
of 36.17/plant, 106.86 g/plant and 64.85 g/plant respectively. Clay soil
resulted in higher values of branch number (31.13/plant), herb fresh weight
(79.95 g/plant) and herb dry weight (46.77 g/plant) than sandy loam soil
but plant height recorded higher value (95.69cm) under sandy loam soil
than clay soil.
The highest essential oil percentages
