Seasonal changes in the essential oil of Pelargonium radula (Cav.) L"Herit

During one year long vegetation period fresh leaves of the plant Pelargonium radula were collected. Essential oil was distilled by the use of the water vapour. We monitored the effect of the one year long vegetation period, as well as the temperature, humidity and light. The largest amount of essential oil was obtained in the autumn, following the blossoming of the plant. The analysis of the essential oil composition was carried out by GC and GC-MS. Monoterpens are dominant in this essential oil.
