Abstract
This research has been conducted under Konya ecological conditions to determine the effect on yield and quality some characters of nitrogen fertilizers applied at the different doses of Sideritis congesta in Medicinal Plants laboratory and Medicinal Plants Experimental Farm of Agriculture Faculty, Selcuk Universty. Experiment was designed and applied in randomized complete plotdesign with three replications in the year of 2012-2013. According to results of this researh; the plant height of Sideritis congesta was varied between 58.66-64.33 cm, the number of flowering branches 49.00-55.00, fresh flowering yield 446.66 - 623.33 kg/da, essential oil yield 0.24-0.33 % and major essential oil component (β –pinene) 43.24 and 48,45. The highest drug flower yield and essential oil yield for mountain tea in Konya and similar ecology 10 kg/da nitrogen fertizer application is reasonabled.
Highlights
Mountain tea (Sideritis congesta et Huber-Morath) is a perennial plant which belongs to the Labiatae / Lamiaceae family
Showing a wide distribution in our country and the world, the Sideritis species which are an important species of Labiatea family, are represented by approximately 150 taxon species of annual and perennial plants especially grown in the Mediterranean basin and the world [2] as well as by 54 species and sub-species, 41 of which are endemic (78%) especially grown in Mediterranean region of Turkey [3]
The doses of fertilizer applied on S. congesta plant height were not obtained statistically significant

Sideritis congesta is endemic to Turkey and located in natural flora of our country. The mountain tea species (Sideritis spp.) whose consumption has been rapidly and increasingly are collected from natural flora in our country.
