Abstract:
The economic importance of the pot marigold is increased due to
considerable broadening spectrum of raw material use (Flores calendulae,
Herba calendulae) in the cosmetics manufacture and in particular the use of
the seeds as a source for obtaining the oil used for industrial purposes. In
this moment Calendula officinalis L, is in top ten, of the most cultivated herbs
in Europe. The aim of this paper was to see the impact of the mutagenic
substances on the production of inflorescenses at Calendula officinalis L. in
the year 2006 conditions. Applying the treatments on the top of the vegetation
have led to obtain variables production of inflorescenses, close to some
treatment variants by the production obtained on untreated witness sample.
The analysis of the results obtained on the year 2006 conditions, has
allowed us to say that, the differences of the production that we obtained
were due on the one hand for the different concentrations used, but also due
to the implementation of the treatment and a different time of action on the
material used in the experiment. The productions were significant as
increasing the concentration in the case of colchicine but decreased in light
of the treatment implementation and the extent of increasing the time of
action.
