Effect of Nitrogen, Location, and Harvesting Stage on Peppermint Productivity, Oil Content, and Oil Composition

Abstract: Peppermint (Mentha ×piperita) is currently not a common crop in the southeastern United States. Recently, there has been an interest in peppermint as an essential oil crop for this region. In 2007, a field experiment was conducted in Mississippi to determine the effect of nitrogen (N) (0 and 80 kg·ha−1), location (Verona and Stoneville), and harvesting stage (bud formation and flowering) on peppermint productivity, oil content, … Show more

“…According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of United Nations, peppermint world production in 2013 was 95.161 tonnes, whereas statistical data on spearmint world production are not available. Peppermint is usually cultivated for its leaves which are used in dry form for tea preparations, while spearmint is used as a flavouring agent in cooked foods. Both species are also grown for essential oils production, which are widely used in pharmaceutical industry and cosmetics .…”

“…A pesar de que S. macrostema no se cultiva ni se maneja en invernadero, se esperaba una respuesta positiva a la aplicación de fertilizante mineral, ya que algunos estudios indican que la fertilización favorece la producción de biomasa en diversos cultivos (Mohamed y Abdum, 2004;Nagdhi-Badi et al, 2004;Pavlovic et al, 2006;Zhu et al, 2008;Zheljazkov et al, 2009).…”
