Abstract

The effects of three levels of nitrogen fertilizer(urea)(o,100,200 Kg ha¹) with two levels phosphorus(super phosphate)(0,100 Kg ha¹) and two levels of potasium(0,100 Kg ha¹) fertilizer in different rate of N/P/K on fresh weight, dry weight,number,aera and oil contetnt of leaf in Mentha piperita L.in field. According to the results rate of 200/200/200 Kg ha¹ of N/P/K increased fresh weight ,dry weight and number of leaf while rate of 200/100/200 Kg ha¹ of N/P/K increased leaf aera and oil content.Resuls also a positive correlation was shown between leaf aera and oil content.
