Description
Summary:<p><em>Herb productivity of some Mentha spp. at high altitude area in West java.</em></p><p>A field trial on four <em>Mentha spp. </em>was under taken to study their herb productifity in Gunung Putri Experimental garden-West Java which has an Andosol soil type with rainfall type A and the altitude is 1500 m above mean sea level. A randomized block design with six replications and four treatments of <em>M. piperita L., M. Canadensis L., M. merdinah </em>Back ex Ochse &amp; Bakh and <em>M. arvensis L. var. javanica (BI.) </em>Hook was used.</p><p>The highest yield of fresh herbs (stems, leaves and stolons or runners) harvesting from the crops at 4.8 months after planting was obtained from <em>M. piperita </em>(5.40 ton/ha) followed by <em>M. Canadensis </em>(3.54 ton/ha); <em>M. merdinah </em>(2.50 ton/ha) nad the lowest from <em>M. arvensis L. var. javanica </em>(0.57 ton/ha). Refer to the yield of fresh herbs, <em>M. piperita </em>gave asignificant different agains either by <em>M. Canadensis </em>or <em>M. merdinah.</em></p><p>The highest yield of fresh herbs without is stolons (leafty stems) was obtained from <em>M. Canadensis </em>(3.54 ton/ha)followed by <em>M. merdinah </em>(2.18 ton/ha), <em>M. piperita </em>(1.50 ton/ha) and the lowest from <em>M. arvensis L. var. javanica </em>(0.55 ton/ha). <em>M. Canadensis </em>gave a significant different agains either <em>M. piperita </em>or <em>M. arvensis L. var. javanica.</em></p><p>In the tropical mountaineous area, <em>M. piperita </em>gives higher stolons/leafty stems ratio, but on the other hand the tree other species give the opposite value.</p><p><em>M. arvensis L. var. javanica </em>did not grow well in the high altitude and sintable in lower land only <em>M. piperita, M. Canadensis, </em>and <em>M. merdinah </em>give no flower during their existing growth.</p>
