Abstract

Objective: Considering the importance of Mosir as a medicinal-industrial plant, this research was conducted to investigate the different planting and harvesting methods’ effect on the plant’s quantitative and qualitative characteristics in the Lorestan province.
Methods: The experiment was conducted in the form of a completely randomized block design for three years (2017-2020) in the Aligudarz County. The methods of manual and machine planting, and planting distance of 10 and 15 cm were investigated. Additionlly, the economic performance of the different methods was evaluated.
Results: The resulted demonstrated no significant difference in leaf width among the studied treatments, but displayed a significant difference in plant height at the level of 1%. The mean comparison showed that the wet and dry yield in different treatmenst had significant differences. The highest yield (847g/m2) was obtained in the second year with the machine method and the lowest yield (636g/m2) was obtained in the third year with manual planting. The dry matter yield was achieved at a planting distance of 10cm (185.633 g/m2) and a planting distance of 15cm (178.611g/m2) and the dry matter yield was obatiend in the machine planting method (199.91g/m2) and the manual planting method (164.33g/m2).The economic evaluation of the results indicated that the average costs are 19% lower in the machine cultivation method compared to the manual planting method.    
Conclusion: The overall results highlighted income increase and cost reduction in the planting and harvesting of Mosir with the machine method. Moreover, the mechanized planting and harvesting of Mosir was executed much faster compared to the manual planting and harvesting of this plant.
