Effect of fertilizer on yield and composition of flowerhead essential oil of Chrysanthemum coronarium (Asteraceae) cultivated in Spain

Alvarez-Castellanos, P.P. | Pascual-Villalobos, M.J.
A group of nine Chrysanthemum coronarium L. (Asteraceae) populations were cultivated in southeastern Spain in 1998 to study the effect of fertilizer application on yield of flowerheads and essential oil composition. A flowerhead yield increase was obtained in fertilized plots although this was not the case for essential oil content. Camphor was the main compound identified in this oil (13.9-26.9%) and it was contained in higher amount (2.32-5.47% more) when the flowerheads came from fertilized plants. The accumulation of germacrene D in the oil, on the other hand, was negatively affected by the fertilization treatment.
