Abstract

Satureja belongs to lamiaceae with different species throughout the world. Annual and perennial species of this medicinal plant grow naturally in Iran, of which nine species are endemic. In this research, perennial species of Iranian savory were evaluated during 2009-2013, Yazd, Iran. Accessions of different species were cultivated at Research Station of Medicinal Plants using a randomized complete block design. Different traits including percentage of plant establishment, plant height, plant canopy diameter, shoot fresh yield, shoot dry yield and oil content were measured. Variance analysis showed significant differences (p<0.01) among accessions for plant establishment, plant canopy diameter, plant height, essential oil percentage, shoot dry yield and leaf dry yield . Based on mean comparisons, SKM (Satureja bachtiarica) from Yazd, 107 (S. spicigera) from Gilan, 15 (S. rechingeri) from Ilam, 123-1 and 123-2
(S. mutica) from Khorasan province were superior accessions for valuable agronomic traits such as percentage of establishment, shoot yield and oil content.
