Abstract:Lavender flowers are from the
family Ballibagiller (Labiatae) and grow in North westand South west Anatolia
Between June and August, blue or purple flowers open, 20-60 cm in length,
aromatic smelling, perennial, herbaceous or playful plants. More widespread in
western regions where marine climate is present.There are two species that grow
in Turkey. These are Lavandula x intermediave and Lavandula angustifolia
Lavender is an important perfume, cosmetics and medicine plant cultured in the
world due to its high content and high quality oil content The purpose of our
research is to cultivate this plant and to revealits medicinal and aromatic
properties. In the study, pre-seedling stems were prepared from 'Raya',
'Silver' and 'Vera' lavander varieties of Lavandula angustifolia species as
field materia land 'Giant, Hid, cote', 'Dutch' and 'Supera' lavandin varieties
of Lavandula x intermedia species and selected the 'Super A' lavandin variety
of Lavandula x intermedia that could be adapted in Diyarbakir conditions.
Production and reproduction of lavender plant as in other aromatic plants
arecarried out in two main ways, generative and vegetative. However, because of
the in fertility of the 'Super A' lavandin variety of Lavandula x intermedia
crewand the lack of seeds, vegetative propagation ands hoot steels were used.
The seedlings of the "Super a" lavandin of the Lavandula x intermedia
line were placed 1 m abovetherowand 3 m apart from the row, in the experimental
area of the Dicle University MedicalandAromatic Plants Application and Research
Center 7 days a week 6-7 April 2017. A total of 2100 seedlings were planted in
the trial area and later juveniles were given. The maintenance and irrigation
works of the seedling lites were carried out regularly at the trial and drip
irrigation system was used in the study. At the beginning of June some of the
seedling lites were found dead. The survival of the remaining seedling lites
continued and the adaptation rate was 63% Flowering The flowers were harvested
3 times betweenJ une and October, which began in June. In December, the shoot
steels were rooted in the serpentine and replicated in the plants we obtained
for seedling formation At the and of this study; 21-33 cm long plants were
obtained, These results formed the opinion in light of lavender farm will be
made in Diyarbakir in Turkey. This year we will also work on the determination
of the medical and aromatic contents of plant materials obtained from our work.
