Effect of FYM and planting space on the vegetative growth, active ingredient and chemical composition of Ammi visnaga, L. [electronic resource].

Includes references.

An experimental trial was carried out at the Experimental Farm of Sakha Agric. Res. Station during two seasons (1999/2000 and 2000/01) to study the effect of FYM and planting space on Ammi visnaga L. plants. FYM was used at the rate of 15, 20 and 25 m3 /fed. Which were added before planting and during the preparation of the experimental field and planting spaces were at 20, 25 and 30 cm. The data showed that, using 25 m3 /fed. FYM significantly increased vegetative growth, and by increasing planting spaces up to 30 cm apart vegetative growth significantly increased. Treating plants with different rates of FYM increased seed weight per plant and plot, these increments were statistically insignificant while, planting space up to 30 cm significantly increased seed weight. Active ingredient of Ammi visnaga (Visnagin & khlein) significantly increased by increasing both the rate of FYM and planting spaces. Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium content of the aerial parts of plant significantly increased by increasing the rate of organic manure and planting spaces.
