Abstract

Present investigation was conducted at NBPGR, Regional Station, Bhowali, Niglat, District Nainital, Uttaranchal in which Lavandula angustifolia Mill. Syn. L. officinalis Chaix Syn. L. vera DC. planted at the distance of 25 x 25 cm in five treatments viz; Farm Yard Manure (FYM) @ 200 q/ha, Leaf Yard Manure (LYM) @ 200 q/ha, NPK (@ 100 kg/ha N:80 kg/ha P:40 kg/ha. P) and Ash @ 50 q/ha during 2004-05. The results indicated that LYM treatment in Lavender IC273870 was the best for spike yield and essential oil yield per ha. The essential oil content was the highest in IC273870. The major compound were identified by GC and high amount of linalool (31.90%) was found in IC273870 against linalool (29.98%) in IC212822 of Lavender whereas, linalyl acetate did not vary significantly between the two cultivars/accessions. Geraniol (2.20%) was also high in IC273870 accession.
