Abstract

In order to evaluate the effect of Kitoplas on Performance and Percentage of Essential Oil of Peppermint Plant under Water stress, an experiment conducted as factorial in a randomized complete block design with four replications in Research Farm of the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. The treatments consisted of 3 levels of water stress (irrigation at soil moisture depletion at 30, 60 and 90% moisture content of field capacity) and Kitoplas (0, 5 and 10 milliliters per liter). During the experiment, the spray was performed in three steps with a time interval of 15 days. One week after the last spraying, traits such as biological and economic yield of the plant, essential oil content and percent were evaluated for each sample. The results of the experiment showed that the interaction of water stress and growth stimulation treatment of Kitoplas on Performance and Percentage of Essential Oil of Peppermint had a significant effect. The results of traits mean comparison showed that the highest amount and percentage of essential oil was observed in plants treated with 10 ml.L-1 of Kitoplas, which was 1.01 mg per 30 g of samples and 3.38%, respectively.
