Abstract

 

The trial was carried out at three locations such as at Hawassa, Wondo Genet and Koka from 2014 to 2015 to determine appropriate environment and harvesting cycle for the growth, yield and yield components of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia L.). The experiment comprised three levels of harvesting cycle (Cycle 1, 2 and 3) were used on a plot size of 3.6 m length and 3.6 m width arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. SAS (version 9) software was used to compute the analysis of variance.  The LSD test was used to compare the mean separations at 5 % probability level. The result revealed that, most of the studied parameters were influenced significantly by the main effects (location and harvesting cycle) and interaction effect. The highest percent essential oil content and essential oil yield/ha were obtained at Koka from the second harvesting cycle and Hawassa from the first harvesting cycle, respectively. In contrast, the respective least value was obtained at Wondo Genet from the second harvesting cycle and at Koka from the third harvesting cycle. Therefore, cultivation of Lavender at Hawassa and a place where having the same agro-ecologies to Hawassa from the tasted harvesting cycle is highly recommended for the production of the highest essential oil yield.
