Abstract :

In order to investigation of effect of iron, zinc, manganese and copper on morphological and phytochemical traits of Matricaria recutita L, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications during 2017 on the Research Field of Payam Noor University of Marand. Experimental treatments consisted of control, foliar application of iron, zinc, manganese, and copper. Results showed that foliar application had significant effect on all studied traits. Application of micronutrients had positive effect on studied traits compared to control treatment. The highest values of plant height, number of flowering branch per plant, number of flower per plant, yield of dry flower, total dry weight, harvest index, chlorophyll content, essential oil percent and essential oil yield were gained of foliar application of iron. The total chlorophyll content increased significantly due to the application of micronutrient elements compared to control treatment. Foliar application of Fe more than twice increased essential oil yield compare to control treatment. The highest and the lowest essential oil yield (1.93 and 0.9 kg/ha) was gained in application of Fe and control treatments respectively. Foliar application of iron treatment (383 kg/ha) increased yield of dry flower percent up to 30% compare to control treatment (258.63 kg/ha). Non application of micronutrients decreased all of the studied traits in plants. In general, results showed that foliar application of iron can be improved quantitative and qualitative yield of Matricaria recutita L. which could be used as a suitable management strategy for reach to optimum yield.
