Abstract

The study aimed to determine the appropriate amount of potassium fertilizer to ensure good growth of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn., yield, medicinal quality and high economic efficiency. The experiment consisted of four treatments, arranged in a completely randomized block design. The study was conducted to monitor growth indicators, yield components, yield, silymarin content, and a preliminary assessment of economic efficiency. Research results show that the level of potassium fertilizer at 120 kg K₂O/ha was suitable for S. marianum grown in Phu Tho. At this level of potassium fertilizer for S. marianum gave the best technical criteria with: 6.4 lateral shoots/plant; 8.2 flower heads/plant, 68.6 solid seeds/flower; the individual yield of dry seeds was 14.0 g/plant and the actual dry yield was 418.5 kg/ha; silymarin content was 2.68%. This is also the level of potassium fertilizer for S. marianum grown in Phu Tho the highest profit of 295,917,500 VND, and the profit rate of 3.67.
