Abstract
Wider spacing favoured growth parameters of dragonhead plants.
More yield and higher volatile oil content was obtained by using nitrogen fertilisation at a dose of 100kg feddan (4200m2). Volatile oil was composed mainly of acyclic oxygenated monoterpenes which made up 93% of the oil.
The oil content of the flowers was double that of the leaves.
