Several abiotic factors can coordinate or alter metabolic processes of growth and development plants such light, temperature, water availability, climate, soil nutrition and inorganic compounds. The objective of this study was to evaluate performance of A. millefolium L. (yarrow) against abiotic factors. To achieve this objective were have conducted two experiments in which the first was observed antimicrobial activity in vitro and essential oil yield of yarrow grown with nitrogen levels (0, 75 and 150 kg urea ha-1) and subjected different levels of shading 0% (full light) and 70% (70% shading). The second experiment were observed growth characteristics, production photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant enzymes activity, concentrations hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde, ascorbate and deidroascorbato, antioxidant activity by method DPPH and secondary metabolites synthesis in yarrow cultivated under light conditions (full light and blue, red and black shade net) and subjected different collection periods (eight weeks shading, two and four weeks after shading). The results show that oil yield extracted from flowers was stimulated by medium nitrogen level and full light increased the oil yield extracted from leaves. The highest essential oil yield was observed in reproductive structures. Antimicrobial activity of oil was confirmed against microorganisms species. Yeast strains were inhibited by the lowest concentration. The dry mass of leaves and flowers was favored in plants grown under full light. The content of chlorophyll a and b were higher in plants cultivated under blue net, total chlorophyll content was lower in plants under full light and plants two weeks after shading was increase of chlorophyll a, b and total, equivalent did not shaded plants. Catalase activity increased plants acclimated to high light intensity and low light did not stimulate ascorbate peroxidase, but increased superoxide dismutase and content of hydrogen peroxide. Lipid peroxidation was reduced presence of the spectrum blue and red light and low light intensity generated by nets black and blue, reduced accumulation of ascorbate. Content of deidroascorbato increased acclimation process to sunlight and antioxidant activity was more pronounced extracts of flowers. Levels total phenols and flavonoids were stimulated by full light. Oil yield extracted from flowers was higher than leaves. Major metabolite oil extracted from leaves was farnesol and flowers were farnesol and chamazulene. Results for medicinal species A. millefolium L. indicated that light intensity, light quality, collection periods and nitrogen fertilization influence growth, photosynthetic pigments production, secondary metabolites and antioxidant response.
