(Mexican Sage). The light intensity (37-151 μmol.m-2s-1), water input (76-152 ml/day), and concentration of salicylic acid (0-0.5 mM) were varied and the biomass growth was recorded. The essential oils contained in the leaf and flower were extracted using a steam-distillation technique. The yield of essential oil both from flower and leaf varied from 1-2.76 % and 0.36-0.8 % on a dry weight basis, respectively. The productivity of essential oil was estimated in the range of 0.57-3.96 kg/ha.year and 2.26-4.36 kg/ha.year for both leaf and flower. The highest estimated productivity of essential oil (4.36 kg/ha.yr) was obtained when Salvia leucantha was cultivated without any shade net (receiving a light intensity of 301 μmol.m-2s-1) with a water input of 152 ml/day (100 % water field capacity) and sprayed with 0.25 mM salicylic acid on the surface of the flower once a week. The essential oil from both leaf and flower contain aristolane (7.31-16.33 %) which may have a potential application as anti-malaria substance.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]aristolane,essential oils,light intensity,salicylic acid,Salvia leucantha Cav[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1080/0972060X.2018.1506711[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
