EXPLORING CORRELATION AND REGRESSION AMONG MORPHOLOGICAL TRAITS OF ARTEMISIA ABSINTHIUM
Keywords:
Artemisia absinthium, medicinal use, morphological traits, correlation, regressionAbstract
Artemisia absinthium, a significant perennial shrub, has a rich history of traditional medicinal use for treating various ailments, such as hepatitis, gastritis, jaundice, and aiding in wound healing. It has also demonstrated effectiveness against conditions like heartburn, indigestion, gassiness, stomach discomfort, and anemia. Beyond its medicinal uses, Artemisia absinthium exhibits properties such as being depressive, antifungal, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, and antioxidant. While it is commonly found along highways and in pastures, it is predominantly cultivated in arid, open waste areas. Research indicates a positive correlation between height, fresh weight, dry weight, and moisture content. The study revealed that site two is conducive to the optimal development of Artemisia absinthium, even though it is primarily cultivated in pastureland and farmland. Additionally, the leaf extracts of Artemisia absinthium have been observed to inhibit the germination of needle and thread grass, suggesting its potential as a natural weed control agent. Therefore, removing these invasive weeds in areas where Artemisia absinthium is cultivated is recommended.
