Abstract
Recent knowledge of the components in camomile oil and its distribution in the flower heads required a reinvestigation of the essential oil’s content and composition during the ontogenesis and flowering period of camomile.
The development of flowers and yields as well as the changes in the essential oil were investigated over two vegetation periods.
The harvest-timing results as a compromise between increasing flower yield, decreasing oil content and changing composition of the essential oil.
