Abstract:

Anise (Pimpinella anisum L) is one of the most popular medicinal plants that are used by 80% of the world population due to its therapeutic effects. Anise has many therapeutic benefits because it contains Anthole and other compounds. Thus, the importance of this study is to determine the effect of organic fertilization and foliar application of boron on the growth, yield, and quantity of the active ingredient of anise. This study was conducted during the winter season of 2014 in one of the private fields in the region of Yusufiya, Baghdad province to investigate the effect of organic fertilizer (0, 2.5 and 5ton ha-1) and foliar application of boron (0, 0.75 and 1.50kg ha-1) and their interaction. The result of this study showed increasing in the height and branching of the plant with the increase of organic fertilizer. Organic manure (5ton ha-1) showed the highest production of inflorescence number, fruit- setting and total seed per plant. A similar result has been demonstrated by boron foliar application (150kg ha-1). Organic fertilizer treatment (5ton ha-1) was given highest oil content of seed and degree of refraction while the boron (150kg ha-1) given highest oil content but the refraction was not significant with comparing with the control (0 kg ha-1). HPLC result demonstrated around 20-25 volatile oils. Anethole compound was the highest concentration with Organic manure (5ton ha-1) + boron foliar (150kg ha-1) treatment in comparison with other treatments.
