title: Studies on growth and chemical constituents of parsley plants in relation to ontogenesis.
abstract: Eleven parsley plant samples were collected periodically every two weeks after 30 days from sowing time. The collected samples were chemically analysed in order to determine their dietic and medicinal values. The 120 days old sample contains the highest percentage of essential oils. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the essential oils were performed by GLC. Five cuts were taken to determine the growth changes and yield. The highest yield was detected in the 3rd cut (120 days old plants).
