Abstract

The yield and chemical composition of herbal raw materials are dependent on different types of variation. The presented research was aimed at comparing the size and chemical composition of raw material yield of yarrow and tansy from cultivation and natural state. It was shown that the cultivated plants are characterized by a higher yield of fresh and air dry herb and a higher yield of the herb without stems as opposed to that of the natural state. Inflorescence and yarrow herb from natural state are distinguished by a significantly higher proportion of essential oil (on average 0.5%) than cultivated ones (average 0.3%). The essential oil and flavonoids content in tansy plants is primarily related to the harvested organ of the plant.
