A pot experiment was conducted in a net house to evaluate the effects of three different irrigation frequencies (irrigation at a 7-day interval (T1), a 14-day interval (T2) and a 21-day interval (T3)) on the growth of three mugwort accessions. Results from the experiment revealed that different irrigation frequencies significantly affected the agronomical, anatomical, and physiological characteristics of mugwort. Decreasing the irrigation frequency from a 7-day interval (T1) to a 21-day (T3) led to significant decreases in plant height, leaf number, leaf area, and dry matter accumulation of each mugword accession. The highest value of plant dry weight was recorded in T1G1 (5.98g plant-1) and the lowest was observed in T3G1 (2.53g plant-1). Among the three mugwort accessions used in the study, G6 was seen to have the highest drought tolerance performance, followed by G1 and G7, respectively.
