Abstract
Use of the animal manure as a compatible input with environment and appropriate use of sunlight is a step towards increasing the quality and quantity of medicinal plants. In order to investigate the effect of different levels of animal manure and light intensity on the quality and quantity of Peppermint, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at Research farm of University of Zabol. In this experiment, the effect of three levels of animal manure (without manure, 30 and 40 ton/ha) and five levels of light intensity (whole sunlight, 80% of sunlight, 60% of sunlight, 40% of sunlight and 20% of sunlight) on some traits such as fresh an dry weight, number of leaf, number of node, leaf area, essential oil content and its compositions was studied. The results showed that the effect of treatments was significant on all studied traits. So that the highest fresh and dry weight and leaf area obtained from treatment with 80% of sunlight and application 40 ton/ha animal manure and the lowest amount of them obtained from treatment with 20% of sunlight and application 40 ton/ha animal manure. The highest essential oil content was belong to treatment with 60% of sunlight and application 30 ton/ha animal manure and the lowest was belong to treatment with 20% of sunlight and application 40 ton/ha animal manure. About the essential oil compositions, the highest Mentol and Metil Astat contents obtained from treatment with 20% of sunlight and the highest content of Menton obtained from treatment with 80% of sunlight. Results of these tests generally showed that the greatest amount of radiation conditions Peppermint peppered lower (60% radiation), along with taking a 30 ton/HA manure by a 17 percent increase compared to the radiation come complete.
