| Abstract | Dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L.) is an annual pharmaceutical plant belongs to family Lamiaceae which is a widely used remedy for treatment of pain and gastrointestinal disturbances due to its high essential oil contents. A randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications was carried out. Treatments were the application of four levels of methanol (10, 20, 30 and 40 % v/v), four levels of ethanol (10, 20, 30 and 40% v/v) three levels of 1:1 mixture of ethanol and methanol (5, 15 and 25% v/v) and control (spraying with distilled water). Results showed that yield, essential oil content and its composition affect by the application of ethanol and methanol. The highest dry matter yield (10454 kg/ha) and essential oil content (47.7 kg/ha) produced by applying ethanol/methanol solution at 25% v/v. The highest Geranyl acetate (42%), geraniol (27 %) and neral (25%) produced by the same treatment too. |
