Abstract: | Abstrac The composition of essential oil of Artemisia lerchiana Web. plants growing in Volgograd oblast was studied. Sampling was performed from plots contrasting in climatic and soil characteristics.
Essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation. The content of essential oil in shoot biomass increased gradually during
shoot formation, flower bud formation, and flowering beginning and then decreased. The highest content of essential oil varied
from 1.1 to 1.5% of plant dry weight at the stage of flower bud formation. More than thirty compounds were identified by gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry. The following major components were found: camphor, borneol, bornylacetate, camphene, and
1,8-cineole. Some of compounds (sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids) were identified for the first time. The time-course of
accumulation of essential oil components strongly depended on habitat edaphic factors and climatic conditions during the year
of sampling. The results permit a conclusion that A. lerchiana is a valuable producer of essential oils.
