In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of antioxidant plants
for scientific research as well as industrial (pharmaceutical and cosmetic) purposes.
The volatile chemicals and extracts of some plants have been studied for theirs
antioxidant activities because they inhibit oxidative damage and may consequently
prevent inflammatory conditions in many domains, including medicine, nutrition
and cosmetics. Lavandula stoechas L. (from Lamiaceae) is perennial evergreen used
as a fragrant ornamental plant. It also used as a medicinal plant in different parts of
the world. Micronutrients (Zn) have a crucial roles in the nutrition, enzymatic
reactions, primary pathwaye in the tolerance of plant coping with biotic and abotic
2000 and 3000 , 1000 , 0) stresses. In order to study the effect of foliar spray of ZnSo4
mgl-1) on some physiological characteristics of Lavandula stoechas L. plants, a pot
2016 at the Research Greenhouse of - experiment was carried out during 2015
Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University. Physiological characteristics (total phenolic,
total flavonoids, anthocyanin, Chlorophyll a, b, and carotenoid content) were
significantly affected by the application of ZnSo4. Foliar application of ZnSo4
promoted Chlorophyll b content especially at 2000 mgl-1,Chlorophyll a and
carotenoid content at 1000 mgl-1. As2well, total phenolic, flavonoids, anthocyanin
and essential oil contents were affected with ZnSo4 treatment at 2000 mgl-1. The
result showed that foliar application of Zinc had no significant effect on methnolic
extract content in Lavandula stoechas. The result obtained reveals that Zinc
application had highlighted effects on Physiological Characteristics of Lavandula
stoechas L. plants.
