2022
Under conditions of production of the Vis Magic 10 variety, in the summer of 2022, on the plantation with the planting scheme of 1.5 x 0.5 m, a harvest of inflorescences of 3 210 kg was obtained, from which 39 kg were extracted of essential oil. The essential oil productivity per ton of green inflorescence mass was 12 kg of oil (1.2%). The results of the chemical analysis of the obtained essential oil is shown in the image on the right, in tabular form.
2021
Under production conditions of the Vis Magic 10 variety, in the summer of 2021, on the plantation of the 4th year, the planting scheme of 1.4 x 0.5 m, a crop of inflorescences of approx. 0.94 tons, from which approx. 11.2 kg of essential oil. The productivity of essential oil per ton of green mass of inflorescences was approx. 12 kg of oil (1.2%). The results of the chemical analysis of the obtained essential oil is presented in the image on the right, in tabular and chromatogram form.
2020
Under conditions of production of the Vis Magic 10 variety, in the summer of 2020, on the plantation of the 3rd year with the area of 0.25 ha, the planting scheme of 1.4 x 0.5 m, a harvest of inflorescences of approx. . 0.66 tons (2.64t/ha) from which approx. 8.5 kg (34 kg/ha) of essential oil. The productivity of essential oil per ton of green mass of inflorescences was 12.87 kg (1.287%). The results of the chemical analysis of the obtained essential oil is presented in the image on the right, in tabular and chromatogram form.
The less pleasant experience of 2019 is related to the “DROUGHT RESISTANCE” of the VIS MAGIC 10 lavender variety !!!The application results show a very different situation compared to the declared characteristics of the respective variety, a fact that raises a lot of question marks. Details HERE.
