- Abstract
Introduction: A research experiment was carried out in a private nursery in Baghdad to study the effect of different fertilizer treatments (biological and organic) on the effective medicinal compounds of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citrates) - (Poaceae family), volatile oil yield and its physical characteristics. Methods: The treatments included Azotobacter, Trichoderma, Tri. + Azo., Compost, Azo. + Comp, Tri. + Comp) in addition to the control treatment. A complete randomized design (C.R.D) with four replications was used. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the effective medicinal compounds by the treatment of (Tri. + Comp), which achieved significant superiority in Myrcene (414.8 ppm), while the treatment (Azo. + Comp) achieved significant superiority in Citral (164.7ppm), Limonene (162ppm) and Neral (112.3ppm), but there were no significant difference in Nerol and Cotrenellol. Conclusion: The control treatment achieved the lowest results for all the studied characteristics. The present study showed that the fertilizer treatments effected the volatile oil yield and the refractive index of lemongrass plants, and the combination treatment ( Tri+ comp.) was exceeded and gave the highest average for both volatile oil characteristics.
