Abstract :The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of phosphorus treatments on yield and quality traits of three anise populations with different origin under Bornova-Izmir conditions in 2016 and 2017. Phosphorus fertilizer was applied at the rate of 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg ha-1 to three different anise populations insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Turkish, Spanish and Syrian);. Field trials were arranged as split-plot in the Randomized Complete Block design with three replications. The plant characteristics such as plant height insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cm);, biomass insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg ha−1 );, number of branches, number of umbels per plant, number of seeds per umbel, seed yieldinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg ha-1 );, 1000-seed weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(g);, essential oil content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%); and essential oil yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L ha-1 ); were measured. It was found that the highest number of seeds per umbel, 1000-seed weight and essential oil content were obtained from the 60 kg ha-1 phosphorus application.
