ABSTRACT
|
In this study, nutrient concentrations (N, P and K) in above
and below ground parts of Helleborus orientalis Lam. which has several
medicinal properties were examined during vegetative and generative growth periods.
There were significant differences between two growth periods in different parts
of H. orientalis in terms of N and K concentrations. We have only found
statistically significant differences between the studied localities, in terms
of K concentrations. There were no significant differences with respect to soil
factors except K and organic matter concentrations of the studied localities.
Our findings are supported the vernal dam hypothesis.
