The Effect of Cultivation Technology and Type of Substrate on the Quality of Origanum Species Seedlings

Aimed at intensifying the production of medicinal, aromatic and seasoning herbs seedlings, researches were conducted in the glass house of the Faculty of Agriculture of Belgrade. The researches included classical production of seedlings in cases according to bare root system and container production of seedlings according to protected root system of Origanum species marjoram (Origanum majorana Moench) and oregano (Origanum heracleoticum L). Marjoram and oregano were grown on five different substrates: garden soil (control), Substrate 1, Steckemedium, Seedling and Tray substrate. Seedling production lasted 60 days. The following parameters of seedling quality were analyzed: seedlings height, number of branches and, seedlings plant mass. The best quality of marjoram and oregano seedlings were obtained with container production and on the Substrate 1.
