Influence of the planting density on the economical qualities of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana B.)

Kulka Uchkunova, Veselin Uchkunov

Abstract: The productive and economical qualities of the Stevia plant has been studied for different distances of planting – 50/30 cm (6666 plants per da) and 50/50 cm (4000 plants per da). It was established that that with the 50/30 planting distance, the dry leaves yield is 38% higher in comparison with the 50/50 cm distance. The formation of sowing seed with different density does not influence the contents of steviozide and rebaudizide.
