Abstract

Pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariaefolium Trev.), a herbaceous perennial plant and member of the Asteraceae family, grows as an endemic species in the coastal region of Eastern Adriatic. It has long been an object of scientific scrutiny and used in practice for its insecticidal components contained in the flower (pyrethrines I and II) which constitute a natural and environmentally safe product more acceptable than similat synthetic products. Wild pyrethrum flourishes on degraded soils and we have attempted to stady more closely its ecological and micro soil requirements. Resultes of morphological, as well as phisical and chemical soil properties study are presented in the paper.
