Abstract

The effects of two levels of nitrogen fertilizer (urea) (0,100 kg ha-1) with one of levels in phosphorus (super phosphate) and potassium (potass oxide ) fertilizer (each of 100 kg ha-1) in two rate of 0/100/100 kg ha-1 (N0 p100 k100، control) and 100/100/100 kg ha-1 (N100 P100K100) on quantity and quailty of leaf (in before flowering) and flowering branches (in flowering) oil in Mentha piperita L. under the fram condition in form spilit plot design in four repeat have been evaluated. According to the results obtained, with out regard to kind of treatment, main composition in oil included: B-ocimene, linalool, 1,8- cineole, B caryophyllene, myrcene. In rate N0 P100 K100 (control), amount of linalool and 1,8 cineole in flowering branches were more of leaf oil. In before flower enhancement of nitrogen fertilizer increased amount of linalool and 1,8 cineol and reduced amount of B-caryophyllene and B-ocimene in leaf oil. In flowering branches, applied of nitrogen fertilizer increased amount of B-ocimene and B-caryophyllene and reduced linalool and 1,8 cineole. Amount of oil in flowering branches in control was more of leaf. Increased of nitrogen fertilizer, had positive effect on content leaf and flowering branches oil.
