2 ) and watering limitation. In the latter, water supply was determined by applying irrigation levels, which was adjusted by regulating water evaporation from an evaporation pan (50, 100 and 150 mm water evaporation). Yield compounds as well as kaempferol content, biological yield, stem yield, leaf yield, plant height and root diameter were all significantly higher when plants were cultivated at the highest density. Non-drought stress treatments showed a significant increase in the yield of compounds, lateral stem number, root length and pod number.
