Methods:Experiment was done as factorial on the basis of completely randomized design in 4 replications. Irrigation in 3 levels (FC,   FC and  FC), salicylic acid in 2 levels (0 and 0.5 mM) and jasmonic acid in 2 levels (0 and 50 µM). Results: The results indicated that, the effects drought stress, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid on Hill reaction, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a+b, β-carotene and Xanthophyll were significant. Drough stress increased the content of β-carotene (1.83  ) and Xanthophyll (2.60 ). The 50 (µM) foliar application of jasmonate  and salicylic acid under normal irrigation condition gained to maximum amounts of Hill reaction, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a+b, β-carotene and xanthophyll.  According to the results, exogenous salicylic acid and jasmonic acid application can improve drought tolerance in moldavian dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L.).}, keywords = {Drought stress,Jasmonic acid,Moldavian dragonhead,Salicylic acid}, url = {https://www.ijabbr.com/article_11587.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijabbr.com/article_11587_3ea256791d17ce8ca2a9c5d447017bd1.pdf} }
