Abstract :
One of the medicinal plants in resort areas of Mazandaran province is Phlomis olivieri which is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries. This study investigated the essential oil compounds in the aerial parts of Phlomis olivieri in Baladeh (Noor) and Kelardasht and also investigated the effects of soil physical and chemical properties on the quantitiy and quality of essential oil. To do so, aerial parts of plants were collected and their essential oil was extracted with Clevenger device and compounds were identified with GC and GC/MS. Soil samples were randomly picked and were transfered to soil science laberatory to determine physical and chemical properties. The results showed that in Baladeh region, 27 compounds were identified which comprise 92.04 percent of total essential oil volume. At Kelardasht site, 26 compounds were identified which comprise 97.43 percent of total essential oil volume. The highest amounts of compounds in both regions were Alpha- pinene, Beta-Caryophyllene, (E)-Beta-Farnesence, Germacrene- D, Germacrene– B and Beta-Eudesmol. Average essential oil efficiency in Baladeh and Kelardasht sites were 0.35 and 0.75, respectively as the highest essential oil amount was achieved in Kelardasht region. There was a positive correlation between essential oil yield and soil saturation percentage and soil absorbable nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Also, a positive and significant correlation was observed between essential oil yield and organic carbon and organic matter percent at the probability of 5%. A negative and significant correlation was found between essential oil efficiency and the pH of the soil at probability of 1% which means that with a reduction in essential oil the pH of the soil increases. As Kelardasht has a higher yield of essential oil and the percentage of essential oil compounds than Baladeh, the use of Phlomis olivieri is recommended in Kelardasht for cultivation there and increasing the production of these compounds.
