“…These findings were confirmed in other studies on fertilization effect on the development of this plant (Scavroni et al 2005). Treatment with different levels of nitrogen affects essential oil formation (Piccaglia et al 1993). In addition, absence of potassium causes a decrease of essential oil concentration in M. piperita plants (Praszna, Bernath 1993).…”

Mentha piperita is a medicinal plant of the Labiatae family. this species produces valuable essential oil. In this study, the effect of eleven treatments of salinity and nanoparticles of iron oxide on the essential oil composition in M. piperita was investigated. Mature plants were collected at 90 days after planting. Essential oils were extracted from plant aerial parts using Clevenger-type apparatus, and the obtained oils were analyzed using gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The obtained results showed that the essential oil concentration differed between treatments. Application of iron nanoparticle increased essential oil amount, while salinity stress lovered its production. Menthone, menthol, 1,8-cineol, pulegone, menthofuran, cis-sabinene hydrate and germacrene D were the major essential oil compounds of control plants. The types and relative proportion of major components differed between studied treatments. Salt as well as iron nanoparticle stress had strong effects on essential oil production and composition.

“…According to Scora and Chang (1997), mint is easily adaptable to different climate and soil conditions. However, some studies have established that a satisfactory development depends on suitable environmental conditions, including mineral nutrition (Piccaglia et al, 1993;Patra and Anwar, 2000;Leal, 2001). Essential oil of M. piperita L. is extracted from the shoot, mainly from the plant leaves, and oil content can be related to matter accumulation in these parts (Clark and Menary, 1980;Czepak, 1998).…”

“…In contrast, Karkanis et al (2017) have also reported that biomass yield of peppermint affected by year and the highest values were recorded during the first growing season in comparison to the second growing period. Similarly, Piccaglia et al (1993) have also found lower biomass yield in the second growing season, compared with yield obtained in the first growing season.…”

Peppermint (Mentha × piperita L.) is perennial plant cultivated for essential oil production. In the present study, field experiments were conducted to determine the performance of peppermint under different cultivation systems for two consecutive growing periods in 2015 and 2016. The effects of environmental conditions on peppermint biomass yield and oil content was also evaluated. The experiments were carried out according to randomized complete block design with five replications per cultivation system. The results of the present study indicate that the total aboveground dry weight and dry leaves biomass were affected by cultivation system and year. For both growing seasons, the highest values were found under the conventional farming system. In contrast, oil content was approximately 14% higher in organic system than in conventional system. Moreover, oil content differed by year, with higher values being observed in 2015 comparing to 2016. Both oil content and biomass yield were positively affected by high temperatures. The results from this study demonstrated that both environmental conditions and the cultivation systems affect the biomass and oil content in peppermint crop.
