• P levels mainly affected plant growth, while lower N levels (150 mg/L) reduced chlorophylls content.
• The N levels greater than 200 mg/L increased antioxidant status of lavender.
• The main constituents of lavender leaves essential oil were 1.8-cineole, borneol, camphor, α-terpineol and myrtenal.
• The recommended N and P levels are 200 mg/L and 50 mg/L respectively for hydroponically grown lavender in perlite.
Lavandula angustifolia (Mill.) is a multidisciplinary medicinal and aromatic plant of great importance in fragrance and pharmaceutical industries and/or landscaping. Minerals rate affect yield and quality of medicinal plants therefore, this experiment was conducted in order to determine the effects of nitrogen (N: 150–175–200–225–250 mg/L) and phosphorus (P: 30–40–50–60–70 mg/L) levels on the morphological and biochemical characteristics of lavender under hydroponic condition. The results indicated that P levels mainly affected plant growth, while lower N levels (150 mg/L) reduced chlorophylls content. Essential oil yield was remained unaffected under N and P levels. The N levels greater than 200 mg/L as well as 60 mg/L of P, benefited antioxidant status (total phenols, DPPH, FRAP, flavonoids). The main constituents of leaves essential oil (1.8-cineole, borneol, camphor, α-terpineol, myrtenal) and mineral accumulation were affected by N and P treatments.
