The cultivar Maximum accumulated 22 % more of dry matter and 44 % more fresh matter than the Minimum.
The extraction of essential oils leaves sum the yielded 0.13 – 0.15 % w/w.
The level of main substances in the essential oil of the two studied genotypes, 1.8 cineole (6.97 and 2.72 %), and trans-beta-farnesene (1.77 and 2.52 %), were significantly different.
