Phytochemical and morpho-physiological response of Melissa officinalis L. to different NH4+ to NO3 ratios under hydroponic cultivation
The findings of present study suggest that the management of NH4<sup>+</sup> to NO<sub>3</sub>̄ ratios in nutrient solutions could contribute to improving growth, physiological and phytochemical properties of M. officinalis. The plants treated with high nitrate ratio (especially 0:100 - NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>:NO<sub>3</sub>̄) showed the greatest effects on improving the growth and production of morpho-physiological and phytochemical compounds. By comprehensively understanding the intricate dynamics among nitrogen sources, plants, and their surroundings, researchers and practitioners can devise inventive approaches to optimize nitrogen management practices and foster sustainable agricultural frameworks.
