It is an aromatic and vivacious lignified and polyform plant, with a variable height of 10-40 cm, and several lignified branches. It has linear, oblong, and dentate leaves with 3-8 mm.

  4. Garden Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) Thyme can be sown in lands with up to 1800 m altitude. It rather prefers alluvium and chalky rich soils, although it develops in clayish, softy and siliceous soils. This plant can be sown in a tempered climate or in mountains. It resists to rime-frosts storms, but it doesn't bear the excess of water.

  5. Garden Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) It reproduces through seeds or through a vegetative stage, by plant division or stakes. 1000 seeds weight 0.265 gr. It has a maximum germination percentage of 90%, 20°C, in 16 days, in dark. When it is multiplied by plant division, this is done during November till March. Stakes can be used during all year long, but thyme must be in its vegetative activity. Its roots are developed in two months.

  6. Garden Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) Seed plotting is done during April till May. When the plant has 6-8 cm height should be transplanted, normally during December till April. 2 g of seeds are required to sow 10m². As the seeds are very little, it is necessary to mixture them with sand, in order to facilitate the seeding. Spacing between the rows should be 60-80 cm and the distance between plants is 25-30 cm; thus a crop density of 40 000-50 000 plants/ha.

  7. Garden Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) Weeds can be removed by manual weeding. The main pest that attack thyme are phytophagous nematodes in the root system. Symptoms are the yellowing of leaves. Cultivar's treatment against nematodes can be seen in the table below (Adp. Bustamante, 1993 and Ferreira et al., 1998).

  10. Garden Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) These plant ensure a production of 4-5 t/ha of fresh plant. With drying, there is a loss of 60-65 %. After separated the dry leaves amount is 800-1200 kg/ha, this is 20-22 % of its initial weight.
