Crops for growth Clary sage «Taygan» Lavender «Vdala» Rose «Lada» Artemisia Taurus Catnip «Alla» Coriander High tolerance for winter and dry conditions, 30% better than national standard C-785 of essential oil concentration, extract and scleral in 1 gram. High tolerance for winter conditions, 50% better than national standard (Stepnaya) of essential oil concentration and higher harvesting by 35 kilograms in 1 hectare High crop yield of flowers (55 centners per hectare) and high terpene alcohol concentration in essential oil (by 30% higher than standard crop) High crop yield (10-12tons per hectare) is in 8-10 times more productivity as wild plant. Essential oil concentration (80% of tuyon) is % and in 2 times higher than wild plant. High crop yield (20-25 tons per hectare) and has more essential oils (more than 100 kilos per hectare). Indexes of quality are better than foreign analogs as far as has 70-75% of citronellol. Traditional crop in variety of Crimean essential plants. Coriander has 76% of soil areas and 66% of essential oil plants harvest volume in Crimea.
