| Tartalmi kivonat: | The key to the utter success for achieving sustainability goals in the medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) industry is the appropriate operation of plant production systems that supports both the regeneration of agroecosystems and operational efficiency, as well as full compliance with quality requirements. Plant production in agroforestry (AF) systems seeks to achieve all the ecological and economical aspects collectively. However, the spread of AF specialised on essential oil bearing plant production is currently limited by the lack of scientifically proven information about the changes of the volatile profile due to shade conditions. The scientific goal of this research was to screen temperate zone cultivated MAP species tolerant of reduced light conditions with a special focus on the changes of essential oil composition. Small-scale experiments under open-field conditions were performed, shade treatments (T30 as 30% and T50 as 50% reduced light conditions) were established using one and two layers of commercially available agro green shade nets. The changes of essential oil composition were measured by GC–MS and the causality was revealed by statistical analysis. The results of our study demonstrated that there are MAP species cultivated in temperate zones, which can be efficiently grown under shade conditions (30% light reduction) according to compliance of their volatile profile. In the case of Carvi aetheroleum and Saturejae aetheroleum , shade did not have a significant effect on its composition. In the volatile profile of Basilici aetheroleum , the main components did not, some minor components changed only significantly under the influence of shade. The composition of Dracocephali aetheroleum changed significantly under the influence of shade. Based on our current and previous findings Carum carvi L., Dracocephalum moldavica L., and Satureja hortensis L. species are recommended for large-scale experiments for the purpose of their introduction into medicinal agroforestry systems. |
