The purpose of this study was to evaluate some elements of physiology and biochemistry in Nepeta racemosa Lam. in the pedo-climatic conditions of the Moldavian forest steppe. The parameters were quantified under conditions of differentiated fertilisation with three foliar products (KSC 1, KSC 2, and Corona K). Biochemical analysis by GC/MS revealed the highest concentration of the following components: nepetallic acid (Untreat - 54.33%, KSC 1 - 55.50%, KSC 2 56.90%, Corona K - 53.77), eucalyptol (Untreat . 9.87%, KSC 1 - 10.70%, KSC 212.80%, Corona K - 10.78%), 3-hydroxy(4S, 4aS, 7S, 7aS)-dihydronepetalactone (Untreat - 5.87%, KSC 1 - 5.37%, KSC 2 4.87, Corona K - 3.67%), and (4aS, 7S, 7aS)-trans, cis-nepetalactone (Untreat 4.30%, KSC 1 - 5.00%, KSC 2 - 4.20%, Corona K - 5.23%). Polyphenols were present in large quantities in the Corona K variant, with 33.1 mg GA/g dw at the first harvest and 27.88 mg GA/g dw at the second harvest. The highest concentration of flavonoids was identified in the Corona K variant (26.34 mg QE/g dw - first harvest and 56.77 mg QE/g dw - second harvest). The antioxidant activity was between 14.76 and 38.54% at the first harvest, and from 12.18 to 22.95% at the second harvest.
