In this article, we apply the perturbation technique and monotone iterative method in the presence of the lower and the upper solutions to discuss the existence of the minimal and maximal mild solutions to the retarded evolution equations involving nonlocal and impulsive conditions in an ordered Banach space X $$\displaylines{ u'(t)+Au(t)= f(t,u(t),u_t),\quad t\in [0,a],\; t\neq t_k,\cr u(t_k^+)=u(t_k^-)+I_k(u(t_k)),\quad k=1,2,\dots ,m,\cr u(s)=g(u)(s)+\varphi(s),\quad s\in [-r,0], }$$ where $A:D(A)\subset X\to X$ is a closed linear operator and -A generates a strongly continuous semigroup T(t) $(t\geq 0)$ on X, a, r>0 are two constants, $f:[0,a]\times X\times C_0\to X$ is Caratheodory continuous, $0
