SEASONAL VARIATION IN DILL ESSENTIAL OIL
Keywords:
Anethum graveolens, carvone, limonene, trans-dihydrocarvone, weather conditionsAbstract
Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) cv. “Domaća” was grown at an experimental field in Mošorin for
four years in order to determine the influence of weather conditions on dill seed essential oil content and composition. From the obtained results it can be concluded that essential oil content varied from 3.3 to 5.3%, depending on the year. Carvone dominates in essential oil and its content varied from 28.4 to 52.2%. Limonene was the second most abundant compound with variations between 40.6 and 47.3%, followed by trans-dihydrocarvone (2.2–26.9%). There is a possibility that weather conditions, i.e. drought accompanied by high temperatures, can decrease resistance to plant pathogens, therefore having an indirect influence on the composition of dill essential oil.
