Macro and Micro Nutritional Content and Physiochemical Soil Properties of Some Naturel Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

Medicinal and aromatic plants have been consumed for food and health. In the research; it is aimed to determine the micro and macro plant nutrient content and physicochemical soil properties of the fruits and leaves of some plants that are naturally found in the transition region and are generally consumed as medicinal plants. According to the results of the physicochemical analysis of the soil samples taken from the root depths of the plants (0-40 cm), the soils are generally mildly acid to slightly alkaline, unsalted, clayey to heavy clayey soils, medium to good organic matter, medium to high in lime content, very high in phosphorus and potassium was found to be high and sufficient. According to the results of fruit and leaf analyzes of the plants (Elaeagnus rhamnoides, Rosa spinosissima, Plantago atrata and Rumex patientia) samples taken from their natural habitats, the highest NPK content is 0.34%-0.59%-1.44% in the leaves of the plantain and the lowest NPK content is % in the rosehip leaves. It was determined as 0.14-0.19%-0.67%. Reagrding the plant's nutrient content, the leaf parts valued higher than the fruit parts in terms of macro (Ca, Mg) and micro (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn) plant nutrients.
