Study of Plant Growth and Essential Oil of <i>Nepeta cataria</i> L. in Kazakhstan

The genus Nepeta exhibits a wide spectrum of biological activity in medicine, agriculture, and the food industry. purpose research is to develop optimal agricultural technology for plantation cultivation cataria L. with preservation useful properties increase content essential oil conditions Northern Kazakhstan. objects are annual plants N. growing on Akmola region. It has been reliably proven that growth L., biomass, yield positively affected by application complex fertilizer N100P80K120. was 0.52% experiment without fertilizers 0.57% fertilizers. main components grown experimental plots (plot #1 plot #2) were 4aα7α7aα-Nepetalactone (76.5612 79.3200%), β-caryophyllene (4.0001 4.0351%) caryophyllene oxide (1.9789 2.5969%). remaining contained small quantities. composition from Kazakhstan similar central Iran, Egypt, Korea, because substance nepetalactone. conducted studies prove success catnip
