Propagation Methods and Leaf Yield in Peppermint (Mentha ×piperitaL.)

The effect of two propagation methods (use of stolons in winter and shoots in spring) on the yield of fresh and dried leaves of peppermint (Mentha Xpiperita L.) was studied in a field experiment in the La Plata zone of Argentina. Fresh and dry weights were greater for plants propagated from stolons in winter and harvested in summer (in full bloom and post-bloom) and from shoots planted in spring if plants were harvested post-bloom.
