This study was carried out in the experimental field and in unheated greenhouses of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry Institute of Horticulture. The investigation aimed to evaluate the morphological features, amount of essential oil, and productivity of 10 basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) cultivars grown under different growing conditions. Studied cultivars were different according to morphological parameters, productivity, and the accumulation of essential oil. Most of the investigated parameters were influenced by growing conditions. Basil plants of cultivars Sweet Genovese and Toscano were determined to be the highest, and their height reached up to 70.5 cm. Cultivar Sweet Genovese was the most productive; its fresh herb mass per plant reached up to 0.71 kg under growing in the open field and greenhouse. Higher air temperature and constant watering of the soil in the greenhouse increased the accumulation of essential oils of basil. The biochemical analyses showed that the essential oil amount of 31% was higher when basils were grown in a greenhouse compared to an open field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chives (Allium schoenoprasum L.) cultivars and lines arobiological evaluation research were carried in Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry experimental base from 2013-2014. Field experiment was in spring 2013. Exploring the three varieties of different geographical origin 'Aliai' (Lithuania), 'Zornaja rostan' (Belarus), 'Sempra' (Czech) and the Institute of the four selected breeding lines 04-29, 07-31, 07-32. Chives were reproduction a vegetative way - by dividing the three-year kera in kerala 6-8 bulbs and planted on a flat surface density planting in rows under the scheme - 0,70 m x 0,30 m (47 620 units ha-1). Results were investigation showed with the control chives variety 'Aliai', entered Lithuania in the National list of plant varieties. Evaluation of research data together showed that of growth the first year chives were the fewer productive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2010-2012, Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, was investigated in mint genus of perennial herbs, seasonal patterns of development phase, morphological features and usability tree stands. Research items were selected five different origins mint genus of perennial plant species: spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) from Lithuania, hairy mint (Mentha crispa L.) from Belarus, round leaves mint (Mentha rotundifolia (L.) Huds.) from Belarus, peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.) from Poland, peppermint (Mentha xpiperita L.) from Lithuania. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Investigation was carried out at the Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry in 2011-2012. The aim of experiment was to evaluate biological and farming characteristics of Scorzonera hispanica L. and Tragopogon porrifolius L. under organic growing conditions on the profiled surface. The object of investigation was variety 'Duplex' of Scorzonera hispanica L. (black salsify) and variety 'Flandrija' of Tragopogon porrifolius L. (salsify). According to the data of experiment, it was established that plants of Tragopogon porrifolius L. had distinguished with plants height (39.8 cm), leaves diameter (74.5 cm), amount of leaves (32.5 units), leaves length (58.5) and index of root-crop shape (10.3). The biggest amount of total (9.0 t ha-1) and marketable (7.5 t ha-1) yield was established in 'Duplex' Scorzonera hispanica L., where output of marketable production reached 82.7 %.
