Abstract :
ABSTRACT To investigate the mutual effects of temperature stress, fertilizer and cultivar on the essence of savory, a study was carried out in Isfahan (2018) as a split plot experiment in the form of randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Main plots were fertilizer in four levels (gibberellic acid, micro fertilizer, amino acid and normal water as control) whereas subplots were three cultivars (Mutica, Bakhtiari and Khouzestani). The planting dates of April 20th, June 20th and May 20th were implemented as three temperature conditions separately, and finally combined analysis was carried out on all three dates. Measured traits were essential oil efficiency, alpha-pinene, alpha terpinene, and gamma-terpinene. According to results, treatments affected plant traits significantly and the combination of Mutica cultivar, micro fertilizer and low temperature showed produced the highest essential oil and its compounds.
