Abstract: (5 Views)
In order to investigate the effect of wood vinegar foliar application on the essential oil characteristics of garden thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) a factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in the research farm’s of the Takestan University, during 2021-2023 was conducted. The experimental factors included three species of mycorrhizal fungi (control (no inoculation), seed and soil inoculation with Glomus mosseae, G. etunicatum and G. intraradices) and foliar application of wood vinegar at four levels of control (no use), 0.5, 1 and 1.5 %). The results showed that the highest percentage of essential oil was obtained from the control treatment and inoculation with mycorrhiza G. mosseae ranked second. Inoculation with mycorrhiza G. mosseae increased dry matter yield by approximately 12% compared to the control, and foliar spraying of wood vinegar 1% caused the highest dry matter yield, increasing by about 10% compared to the control. Apart from the two compounds alpha-terpinene and borneol, the interaction of mycorrhiza and wood vinegar on other essential oil compounds was significant at the level of one percent and on cineole 1 and 8 at the level of five percent. The most important compounds in thyme essential oil are thymol and carvacrol, and inoculation of mycorrhiza G. mosseae and spraying of wood vinegar 1% obtained the highest amount of thymol and carvacrol, and this treatment also obtained the highest paracymin and gamma terpinene.
