Essential oil components in the aerial parts of Ruta graveolens grown in chemical [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulphur (S)] and biological (Azospirillum and Glomus) fertilizer treatments were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy GC-MS. Essential oil distilled from control plants was 0.32 ± 0.03% (fresh weight basis), of which n-Hex-4-en-3-one (55.06%); n-Pent-3-one (28.17%); and n-Hex-3-en-2-one (14.07%) were the major components. The essential oil distilled from plants treated with Azospirillum broth amounted to 0.34 ± 0.04%, the major components being n-Hex-4-en-3-one (53.15%); n-Pent-3-one (37.54%); and n-Hex-3-en-2-one (7.05%). Essential oil from plants treated with NPKS amounted to 0.38 ± 0.04%, of which n-Hex-4-en-3-one (51.91%); n-Pent-3-one (36.06%); and n-Hex-3-en-2-one (9.51%) were the major components. Glomus-treated plants yielded 0.46 ± 0.03% essential oil, the major components being n-Hex-4-en-3-one (51.95%); n-Pent-3-one (31.84%); and n-Hex-3-en-2-one (13.45%). The findings suggest that nutritional treatments increased the essential oil concentration in R. graveolens but did not influence its composition, which was mainly composed of hydrocarbon ketones.
