Economical Analysis of Chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) Cultivars, Flower Yields Which are Obtained from Different Sowing Times and Row Spacing

Economical Analysis of Chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) Cultivars, Flower Yields Which are Obtained from Different Sowing Times and Row Spacing

This study was conducted with split-split plots experimental design based on four replications in the ecologicalconditions of Yalova in the area of Ataturk Central Horticultural Research Institute in growing seasons of 2008-2009and 2010-2011.In the study three chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) cultivars (Bona, Bodegold and Zloty Lan) and a genotype,which was collected from the flora of Yalova Province, were used as material. There were four cultivars/genotypes,three sowing time (early November, early October, end of October) and four rows spacing (15 cm, 30 cm, 45 cm, 60cm). Sowing times were constructed to main plots, cultivars/genotypes to sub plots and row spacing to sub-sub plots.The highest gross profit was calculated as 8818.33 € ha-1 in first time of Zloty Lan cultivar at 15 cm row spacing. Althoughthe Yalova genotype has the lowest cost, the gross profit among the cultivars/genotypes has been the lowest genotype.
