Abstract :This research has been conducted under Konya ecological conditions to determine the effect on yıeld and quality some characters of nitrogen fertilizers applied at the different doses of Sideritis congesta in Medicinal Plants laboratory and Medicinal Plants Experimental Farm of Agriculture Faculty, Selcuk Universty. Experiment was designed and applied in randomized complete plotdesign with three replications in the year of 2012-2013. According to results of this researh; the plant height of Sideritis congesta was varied between 58.66-64.33 cm, the number of flowering branches 49.00-55.00, fresh flowering yield 446.66 - 623.33 kg/da, essential oil yield 0.24-0.33 % and major essential oil component insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(β –pinene); 43.24 and 48,45. The highest drug flower yield and essential oil yield for mountain tea in Konya and similar ecology 10 kg/da nitrogen fertizer application is reasonabled.
