ACOSTA DE LA LUZ, Lérida; FUENTES FIALLO, Víctor; RODRIGUEZ FERRADA, Carlos e MARTIN BORREGO, Guillermo. Investigaciones agrícolas en especies de uso frecuente en la medicina tradicional III: Toronjil de menta. Mentha x piperita L. Rev Cubana Plant Med [online]. 2002, vol.7, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1028-4796.
The following variables were evaluated in plants of Mentha x piperita L experimentally grown during 3 years at "Dr. Juan Tomás Roig" Experimental Station of Medicinal Plants in hydrated red ferriferous soil: date of plantation (January and December); planting spacing (45 ´ 20 cm y 45 ´ 30 cm); planting method (in furrows and beds of 1 cm width, with 2 or 3 rows of plants) and harvest season (first cut 90 and 120 days after plantation and second cut 45 and 60 days later). The highest foliage yield was obtained when they were planted in furrows, in December, at a distance of 45 x 30 cm. The first foliage harvest was made at 17 weeks and the second one 45 days later (10.67 t/ha), which allowed to triplicate the yields in the second crop. The number of rows in each bed did not have a significant effect on yield. It was found that the cultivation in furrows was 1.2 times higher than that in beds.
