Abstract:
Because of expanding market for high value rich crops, opportunities have increased for the production of medicinal herbs. A field experiment at the Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agricultural, Technology and Sciences during 2015-16 to study the impact of fertilizer dose and spacing on oil yield of Japanese mint (
Mentha arvensis L.) var. Sarj. The total herbage weight (fresh and dry) per hectare and oil yield (kg/ha) were taken after final harvesting. The total fresh and dry herbage weight was observed better in spacing 60X60 cm with fertilizer doses of N
100, P
140, K
80. The maximum oil yield (kg/ha) was found in treatment T
2 (149.67 kg/ha) followed by treatment T
6 and T
9 (132.33 kg/ha) under spacing 30X30cm and minimum was observed in T
2 (108.67 kg/ha).
