| Popis: | The effect of stage of harvest and plant growth regulators on herbage, artemisinin and essential oil yield of Artemisia annua was studied. Artemisinin content was maximum at the 16 week harvest (early flowering stage of growth) and declined at later harvests. Maximum essential oil content and tissue yield were obtained at the 20 week harvest (maximum flowering stage). Application of GA3 significantly increased yield and artemisinin content and application of kinetin increased yield and oil content. The increase in oil yield at the 20 week harvest promoted by GA3 application was attributed to the significant increase in dry matter production. |
