Abstract
Objective: Considering the importance of Mosir as a medicinal-industrial plant, this research was conducted to investigate the different planting and harvesting methods on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the Mosir in Lorestan province.
Methods: Experiment in Aligudarz County in the form of completely randomized block design for three years (2017-2020). The methods of planting; manual and machine and distance of planting; 10 and 15 cm in three cropping years. Also the economic performance of different methods was evaluated.
Results: There was no significant difference in leaf width in the studied treatments, but there was a significant difference in plant height at the level of 1%.The average comparison showed that the wet and dry yield in different treatment have significant differences. The highest yield (847g/m2) was in the second year and the machine method and the lowest yield (636g/m2) was obtained in the third year and the manual planting. The dry matter yield at a planting distance of 10cm (185/633 g/m2) and a planting distance of 15cm (178/611g/m2) and the dry matter yield in the machine planting method (199/91g/m2) and manual planting method (164.33g/m2) obtained.The economic evaluation of the results showed that in the machine cultivation method, the average costs are 19% lower than the manual planting method.
Conclusion: Results showed that Increasing the income and reducing the costs of planting and harvesting Mosir in the machine method. Also, machine planting and harvesting of Mosir had a very high speed compared to manual planting and harvesting of this plant.
