VEGETATIVE GROWTH, FLOWERING AND
ESSENTIAL OIL CONTENT OF MARIGOLD PLANTS IN
RELATION TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MINERAL N
AND POULTRY MANURE APPLICATIONS By
HASSANAIN, M. A.
Department of Horticulture ,Faculty of Agriculture in Fayoum ,Cairo University, Egypt.
ABSTRACT
The main effects and interactions of four different
mineral N levels (0, 50, 100 and 150kg fed-1
) and four various
poultry manure rates (0, 10, 15 and 20m3 fed
-1) on the
vegetative growth, flowering, volatile oil content and
chemical composition of marigold plants (Tagetes minuta)
were investigated through two field experiments in
2000/2001 and 2001/2002. The obtained results, obviously,
showed that; plant height, herb fresh and dry weights,
number of branches plant-1
, number and fresh weight of
inflorescences, concentrations of N, P and K in the herb and
essential oil percentage of the herb and inflorescences
successively increased as N application rate increased up to
100kg N fed-1
. Application of 15m3 poultry manure fed
-1
resulted in longest plant stature, heaviest herb fresh and dry
weights and number of branches plant-1
. In addition, it was
clear that, the higher the rate of poultry manure, the higher
was the concentrations of photosynthetic pigments,
carbohydrates and N, P and K in the herb. Similar trend on
the essential oil content of both the herb and inflorescences
was, also, noted. The interaction of 100kg N by 15m3 poultry
manure fed-1
was pronounced and gave the best results on
the studied morphological characters, flowering traits and
essential oil contents in the herb and inflorescences.
However, the interaction of the two studied factors did not
reflect any constant trend on the concentrations of N, P and
K in the herb.

INTRODUCTION
Marigold (Tagetes minuta L.) is a summer annual herb belongs
to family Asteraceae and considered as one of the most economical
aromatic plants. The main value of marigold plant is related to its
content of essential oil, which is utilized as a flavoring and fragrance
agents (Lawrence and Powell, 1986) and an inhibitor for the activity
of some mycelial fungi, yeasts and bacteria either positive or negative
gram (Hethelyi et al., 1988). The beneficial utilizations of marigold
extracts as natural pesticides in controlling certain insects and
parasitic nematodes were, also, established (Darwish, 1992 and
Weaver et al., 1994).
Successive and continuous application of mineral N had
undesirable impacts on agro-ecosystem and seriously affect the health
of plant consumers. Organic fertilization has been known to provide
plants with the nutritional requirements without adverse effects on the
environment. Many investigators reported the favorable influences of
organic fertilization on growth of many aromatic plants (Maheshwari
et al., 1991; Hammam, 1996; Sidky et al., 1997 and El-Ghadban,
1998).
Essential oil synthesis and accumulation in fresh Mentha
viridis was, generally, increased with than without various organic
fertilization sources and the cattle manure was the most effective
source in this respect (Mansour et al., 1999). Likewise, Mohamed and
Matter (2001) and Somida (2002) working on Tagetes minuta reached
similar conclusion.
The present investigation was undertaken in order to study the
effects of fertilization with poultry manure and mineral N at different
rates on growth,essential oil and chemical composition of (Tagetes
minuta L.) plants. MATERIALS AND METHODS
The goal of the present investigation was to asses the main
effects and interactions of fertilization with different rates of organic
and mineral N fertilization on growth , volatile oil content and
chemical composition of marigold plants (Tagetes minuta L). To
achieve the goal of this investigation, two field experiments were
conducted at the Experimental Station Farm, Fac. Agric., Cairo Univ.,
J. Agric. & Env. Sci. Alex. Univ., Egypt. Vol. 2 ( 2 ) 2003

in Fayoum during the two successive seasons of 2000/2001 and
2001/2002.
The treatments comprised all possible combinations of four
poultry manure rates ( 0, 10, 15 and 20 m 3
fed-1
) and four mineral N
fertilizer levels ( 0, 50,100 and 150 kg N fed –1
) . Poultry manure was
supplied by El- Azab poultry Farm, El–Fayoum Governorate.
Preceding the initiation of each experiment, soil samples of 25 cm
depth ,from each experimental site, and organic poultry manure
samples were collected and analysed according to the published
procedures (Black, 1965). Results of the analyses are given in Tables
1 and 2.
The seeds were supplied by the Research Center of Medicinal and
Aromatic Plants, Giza, Egypt. Seeds were sown in the nursery on
October 15, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002. All agricultural practices for
seedlings production were followed. Forty five days after seed
sowing, uniform transplants of 10 cm length were transplanted into
the field at intrarow spacing of 60 cm , while the interrow spacing was
25 cm .

The experimental layout was a factorial experiment in
randomized complete blocks design with three replications. The
experimental unit contained 4 rows of 6 meter long with an area of
14.4 m2.
Each poultry manure rate was divided into two equal portions;
the 1st portion was incorporated into the soil two weeks before
transplanting, while the 2nd
one was added just after the 1st cut as a
basal application.
The equivalent amount of each mineral N fertilizer rate ,in the
form of ammonium nitrate (33.5 % N ), was divided into 4 equal
doses. The 1st and 2
nd doses were banded after 4 and 8 weeks from
transplanting, consecutively. Meanwhile, the 3rd
and 4th
doses were
performed 2 and 4 weeks after the 1st cut. A basal uniform dose of 200
kg of calcium superphosphate (15.5 % P2O5) and 100 kg potassium
sulphate (48 % K2O) fed –1
were applied. All recommended agro
managements necessary for the production of marigold crop were
followed. Harvest included two cuts which were achieved on the
middle of April and August in both seasons.
Data recorded Vegetative growth traits
At the end of each cut, a random sample consisted of 10 plants
from each experimental unit was collected and the following
measurements were recorded; plant height ,number of branches, fresh
and dry weight and number and fresh weight of inflorescence plant–1
. Chemical composition
At each cut, 10 plants were randomly chosen for the following
chemical determinations:
1-Essential oil percentage; was determined using Clavenger apparatus
according to the British Pharmacopoeia (1983).
2-Components of volatile oil:
In the 2nd
season , volatile oil of the herb and inflorescences of
the 1st cut, produced from the control treatments and the treatments
combination of 100kg N+10 m3
poultry manure were analyzed to
identify their major components using GLC apparatus as outlined by
Hoftman (1967) and Hethelyi et al.(1992).
3-Chlorophylls and carotenoids contents; were determined in leaf
samples

taken from each plot, in each cut, using the methods described by
Welburn and Lichtenthaler (1984).
4-Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents :
Herb N content was determined using Microkjeldahl procedure
(Jackson, 1973), while phosphorus was determined colorimetrically
according to Olsen and Sommers (1982), but potassium was
determined using flame photometer (Black,1965)
5- Total carbohydrates content was determined colorimetrically using
the method described by Herbert et al. (1971).
Appropriate analysis of variance on results of each experiment
according to the design used was performed. Least Significant
Difference test at 0.05 level was used to verify the difference between
treatments (Gomez and Gomez, 1983).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
1. Vegetative growth characters
Increasing the application of mineral N from 0 to 50 and
furtherly to 100 kg N fed–1
associated with significant successive
increases in plant height, herb fresh and dry weights and number of
branches plant–1
, in both seasons (Tables 3 and 4). Increasing the
amount of mineral N applied over 100 kg N fed–1
did not reflect any
valuable effect on the studied growth parameters.
Data in Tables (3 and 4) showed clearly that the application of
poultry manure to marigold plants had positive significant effects on
the studied growth parameters, compared to the control, in both
seasons. Increasing the application of poultry manure up to 15 m3 fed
–
1, significantly increased plant height ,herb fresh and dry weights and
number of branches plant–1
, for both cuts of both seasons.Moreover,
increasing the rate of poultry manure from 15 to 20 m3 fed
–1
significantly increased plant height for both cuts of the 2nd
season
,herb fresh weight, for the 1st cut of 1
st season and both number of
branches and herb dry weight plant–1
for the 2nd
cut of both seasons. The interaction effect of poultry manure rates by mineral N
levels on the studied morphological characters was significant for both
cuts of the two seasons (Tables3 and 4). The exception was for the
herb fresh weight for 1st cut of the 2
nd season . The best results on

plant height ,herb fresh and dry weights and number of branches
plant–1
were recorded when 100 kg mineral N combined with 15 m3
poultry manure fed–1
. In addition, this particular combined treatment
gave better results on all the studied morphological characters than the
individual application of mineral or organic N indicating that the
effects of mineral N and organic N were additive. It was also, obvious
that , values of the recorded vegetative traits were greater in the 2nd
cut
than the 1st one , in both seasons .
Superiority of the morphological characters for the 2nd
cut than
the 1st one was probably related to the favorable prevailing weather
conditions after the 1st cut. In addition, lateral buds may be initiated to
grow. Moreover, after the performance of 1st cut ,root system was
greater than shoot system which encouraged the vegetative growth to
increase.
Application of mineral N significantly increased number and
weight of fresh inflorescences plant–1
compared to the untreated
control, for both cuts, of the two seasons (Table, 4). Increasing
mineral N level from 50 to 100 kg N fed-1
significantly augmented
number and fresh weight of inflorescences plant–1
, for both cuts, of the
two experimental seasons. The only exception was recorded for the
fresh weight of inflorescences plant–1
in the 1st cut of 2000/2001
season, where the differences were not enough to be significant .
However, further increase of mineral N application to 150 kg fed–1
did
not show any valuable influence on number and weight of
inflorescences plant–1
. El-Saeid et al. (1996) on Tagetes patula and
Matter and Mohamed (2001) on Calendula officinalis mentioned
similar conclusion. Successive significant increases on the number and weight of
fresh inflorescence plant –1
occurred as a consequence of raising
poultry manure rate up to 15 m3 fed
–1, for both cuts, in 2000/2001
season (Table, 4). Raising the rate of poultry manure from 15 to 20 m3
fed–1
was associated, with significant positive influence on number of
inflorescences plant–1
, but the fresh weight of inflorescences plant–1
was not affected. However, few exceptions were observed. Findings
of Mohamed and Matter (2001) and Somida (2002) working on
Tagetes minuta were in harmony with our results.

The interaction effects of mineral by organic N fertilizer on the
number and weight of fresh inflorescences plant–1
were similar in both
cuts in 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 seasons (Table, 4).Comparisons
among the various mean values of the different treatments
combinations obviously exhibited that the combinations of 100kg N +
15 m3 poultry manure fed
-1 was the best in this concerns. The
stimulatory effects of the interaction between organic by mineral N
fertilization on number and weight of inflorescences plant-1
were
emphasized by Vieira et al.(1999) and Somida (2002) working on
Calendula officinalis and Tagetes minuta, respectively.
Chemical composition. Comparisons among the mean values of the photosynthetic
pigments in leaves; (chlorophylls and carotenoids) and carbohydrates
content in herb, for both cuts, in each season showed that the addition
of 50,100 or 150 kg N fed-1
reflected positive significant effects in
comparison with the control treatment (Table, 5). Generally, the
addition of 100 kg N fed-1
resulted in the highest mean values for the
total chlorophyll and carotenoids in leaves and carbohydrates in herb.
These results agreed with the findings of Attia and Ahmed (1997) on
Chrysanthemum morifolium, Matter and Mohamed (2001) on
Calendula officinales and Somida (2002) on Tagetes minuta.
Data presented in Table (5) show that application of poultry
manure, irrespective of the rate used, significantly enhanced the
concentration of photosynthetic pigments in leaves; (chlorophylls and
carotenoids) and the concentration of carbohydrates in herb than the
control, for both cuts in both seasons. Comparisons among the four
different poultry manure treatments, generally, showed that the higher
the rate of poultry manure, the higher was the concentration of
photosynthetic pigments and carbohydrates.
The effect of interaction between organic and mineral N on
total chlorophyll content was significant for both cuts of the first
season, but the reverse was true for the second one (Table 5).
However, no constant trend can be observed. Regarding the
concentration of carotenoids, at 0 and 50 kg N fed-1
, the highest
concentration of carotenoids was attained when 20 m3 organic manure
was applied, while at 100 and 150 kg N fed-
1, the highest
concentration of carotenoids was obtained when 15m3 organic manure
was applied indicating that there was a reversal relationship between

01
the rate of organic and mineral N. The combined effect of mineral and
organic N fertilization on total concentration of carbohydrates in herb
was significant, for both cuts, in each season (Table, 5). The combined
application of 15m3 poultry manure together either with 100 or 150 kg
N fed-1
, significantly, gave the highest mean concentration of
carbohydrates.
Application of mineral N at 50,100 or 150 kg fed-1
increased
significantly the concentrations of N, P and K in herb of Tagetes
minuta plants over the control, for both cuts, in each season (Table, 6).
At 100 kg N fed–1
, the concentrations of N, P and K were significantly
higher than those at 50 kg N fed-1
,for both cuts, in each season .At
150 Kg N fed-1
, the concentration of N, P and K for the 1st cut were
significantly lower than those at 100 kg N fed-1
, but were generally
similar as those of the 2nd
cut, in both seasons.
Concentrations of N, P and K in herb of marigold plants,
significantly, increased with the application of poultry manure than
the untreated control, for both cuts, in each season (Table, 6). The
application of 20 m3 poultry manure Fed
-1 was remarkable and
associated significantly with the highest N and K concentrations, for
both cuts, in each season. This trend was true for P concentration, but
for the 1st cut only, in both seasons.
Although, some significant interaction effects between mineral
and organic N fertilizers appeared on the concentrations of N, P and K
in herb of the 1st or 2
nd cut, no constant trend was obvious (Table, 6).
Essential oil content
Essential oil content of herb and inflorescences of marigold
plants was significantly higher with than without mineral N
application, for both cuts, in both seasons (Table, 7). Increasing N rate
from 50 to 100 kg N fed-1
was associated significantly with increase in
essential oil content. Further increase of N to 150 Kg N fed-1
, reduced,
significantly, the content of essential oil in herb and inflorescence, in
most cases.
Fertilization of marigold plants with poultry manure,
irrespective of the level used, significantly increased the content of
essential oil in herb and inflorescences of 1st and 2
nd cuts compared to
unfertilized control, in both seasons (Table, 7). In the 1st cut of both
seasons and 2nd
cut of the 2nd
season, increasing poultry manure rate
from 10 to 15 and furtherly to 20 m3 fed
-1 reflected successive

significant increases on the essential oil content of herb and inflorescences. However, the essential oil content of herb and
inflorescences in the 2nd
cut of 1st season was not affected. Similar
findings on some aromatic herbaceous plants confirmed the obtained
results; El-Gendy (2001) on Ocimum basilicum, Sakr (2001) on
Mentha piperita and Somida (2002) on Tagetes minuta.
Some significant interaction effects appeared between poultry
manure rates and mineral N levels on the content of essential oil in
herb and inflorescences, of both cuts, in both seasons (Table, 7). The
most effective interaction treatment on the aforementioned traits was
between 100 kg N and 15 m3 poultry manure fed
-1. Previous results on
Mentha arvensis (Chattopadhyay et al., 1993; Amitabha et al., 1999),
Sweet basil (Abd El – Raouf, 2001) and Tagetes minuta (Somida,
2002) exhibited the promoting interactive effects of nutrition with
organic and mineral N together on their essential oil content.
Components of essential oil
Comparisons among the different constituents of essential oil
in herb clearly indicate that application of 100 kg N + 15m3 poultry
manure fed-1
led to the presence of four new substances; -Pinene, -
Ocimene, Limonene and B-Ocimene, but sharply reduced the
percentage of all other constituents except Dihydrotagetone in
comparison with the control (Table 8 and Fig 1 and 2). This particular
combined treatment was, also, responsible for the absence of three
constituents in the essential oil of inflorescences; -Ocimene,
Tagetenone and (E) Ocimenone compared to the control (Table 8 and
Fig 3 and 4). However, the constituents of -Pinene, Carvone and (Z)
Ociemenone decreased, but all other constituents increased, compared
to the control.
