Abstract

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphate pesticide widely used in agriculture. It poses significant health risks due The leaves and roots of Valeriana officinalis harbor various chemical compounds, which are subject to alteration by environmental conditions and soil composition. The acidity of the soil plays a critical role in the absorption of essential nutrients, thereby modifying the concentrations of bioactive constituents such as valerenic acid. Furthermore, macro-nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are vital for the plant's biosynthesis of these substances. Climatic factors, including temperature, humidity, and sunlight exposure, also affect the biochemical pathways of the plant, leading to variability in its chemical profile. Moreover, fluctuations in temperature can impact the levels of beneficial compounds, while water scarcity may induce the synthesis of stress-related compounds, which in turn affect the therapeutic properties of the plant. Therefore, enhancing both soil conditions and climatic factors could contribute to augmenting the medicinal efficacy of Valeriana officinalis. This research investigates the influence of soil and climatic factors on the chemical composition of Valeriana officinalis, a medicinal herb recognized for its therapeutic benefits. The leaves and roots of this species harbor a variety of chemical compounds that can be modified by environmental conditions and soil characteristics. The acidity of the soil is particularly significant in nutrient uptake, which in turn alters the concentrations of bioactive components, especially valerenic acid, a key element for the herb's medicinal effectiveness. Essential macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are crucial for the production of these advantageous compounds, suggesting that effective soil management practices can improve the quality of the plant. Furthermore, climatic elements, including temperature, humidity, and sunlight exposure, play a critical role in the biochemical processes of Valeriana officinalis, resulting in variations in its chemical makeup. Temperature variations can influence the concentration of beneficial compounds, while limited water availability may trigger the production of stress-related substances, thereby affecting the plant's therapeutic attributes. The results indicate that enhancing both soil quality and climatic conditions could substantially improve the medicinal properties of plants. This study highlights the significance of environmental management in the cultivation of this important herb, to maximize its therapeutic potential for consumers.
