Abstract :

The active ingredients are produced under the genetic processes; they are also significantly influenced under environmental factors. In this study, however, the effect of environmental parameters is investigated on the quantity and quality of the essential oil of Origanum vulgare L in watershed basin Nemarostagh Amol in both northern and southern direction. Sampling was done in early June of the shoot plant flowers Origanum vulgare L. After the samples are dried under shadow, and then 100 grams of the sample are used to provide the essential oil by using the water distillation (Clevenger) method. The GC and GC-Mass identify constituents of the essential oil from the sample. The soil sampling is conducted from both slopes by using systematic- random method. So in long of each transect in which the samples are taken from the beginning, middle and end parts of transect in two aspect slop of depth 0-30 cm from the root and N,P,K, OM, EC, PH was measured . In total 11 component in aspect south and 7 components in aspect north was identified. Component of main essential oil in aspect o south include trans – anethole (54/98), 14خ³'>-terpinene (9/12), thymol(6/73) and in aspect of north thymol((33/49  , l-(-)-menthol  (33/16)  and 14خ³'>-terpinene. (55/10) Efficiency of essential oil in aspect of north 0/3% and in aspect of south %0/2 was estimated. In aspect of north Efficiency of essential oil was positive coefficient with OM, N, P and in south aspect only with OM positive coefficient in level 5%.
