Effect Of Compost And Seaweed Extract (Acadian) On Oil Production For Rosemary Plant Rosmarinus Officinalis L

Abstract

This study was conducted at a private orchard located in chiman on 108 plants, a four-month-old (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) in 9 treatments, adding compost (Remnants Mushroom Factory) with different ratios (0%, 20%, 40%) and spraying seaweed extract Acadian (Ascophyllum nodosum) with three concentrations (0 ppm, 500ppm,1000ppm), and their interaction in the manner (20%:500ppm), (20% 1000ppm), (40%: 500ppm)and (40%: 1000ppm) of (compost and seaweed) in order to determine the effect of compost, seaweed extract and their interactions on oil production (ml)/kg, At first cut, was (13.060ml) from the 40% of compost, (13.125ml) from the 1000ppm of seaweed and (17.057ml) from the interaction between 40% of compost with 1000ppm of seaweed. The second cut was (15.908ml) from the 40% of compost, (19.794ml) from the 1000ppm of seaweed, and (22.667ml) from the interaction between 0% of compost with 1000ppm of seaweed. Significant differences were shown regarding the effect of seaweed on all physical characteristics. Significant differences were observed from the effect of compost on all essential oil components of the rosemary plant.
