Abstract

Present investigation was conducted at NBPGR, Regional Station, Bhowali, Nainital in which Callicarpa macrophylla Vahl planted at three spacings, viz., 50x50 cm, 100x100 cm and 150x150 cm. The results indicated that the 50x50 cm spacing was best for herbage, fresh fruit and dry fruit yield per hectare and essential oil yield per hectare from herbage and seeds. The essential oil content was highest in seeds but gross oil yield per hectare was more in herbage. The composition of essential oil exhibited high amount of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, caryophyllene oxide, sesquiterpene alcohol, b-pinene, cineol 1:8, sabinene and high boilers.
