Abstract

All the parts of the agrotechnics of growing Stevia influence the dry matter yield and the sweet substances content. The aim of the present study is to establish the productive and economical qualities of Stevia using different planting material. It was found that the highest yield of dry mass (leaves) is received from the crop of first year rootage, where the exceeding is with 28.9%, in comparison with the crop from seedlings. There were not established differences in the content of steviozide and rebaudizide for the different types of crops.
