The objective of the study was to
ascertain the concrete and flower yields of Agave amica L. The several
treatments were applied for the study, and the actual recovery rate was
compared to both the control, which did not use intercropping, and to all of
the treatments that used marigold as an intercrop. According to legend, the
alkaloid lycorine, which causes vomiting, is present in tuberose bulbs. They
are believed to have diuretic and emetic properties. This study aims to assess
the flower quality harvested as a result of tuberose and marigold intercropping.
Hexane was used as the solvent to extract the flowers. Treatment T1 recovered
the most concrete in the first and second years (0.171% and 0.157%), followed
by T2 (0.1671% and 0.145%), while T6 recovered the least concrete (0.104
percent and 0.103 percent). The T1 therapy's shelf life (5.53 days) revealed
the greatest number of days, while the T6 treatment found the smallest number
of days (4.63 days). The tuberose vase life of T1 was the greatest (6.92 days),
while T6 was the shortest (5.41 days). The found chemicals have biological
relevance that may be used in pharmacological applications and serve as an
inhibitor, solvent, defence compound, and phytocompound.
