Abstract

In order to select the most promising thyme genotypes in terms of aerial dry matter (DM) yield and essential oil compounds, seeds of 11 genotypes of Thymus daenensis along with garden thyme (Th. vulgare as control) were sown in 13 research farms in the provinces of East Azerbaijan, Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi, Zanjan, Qom, Markazi, Hamadan, Golestan, Yazd, Semnan, Ardabil and Tehran (Absard) and evaluated during (2009-2012). The results showed that genotype 60, with an average value of 1703 kg/h, had a higher DM yield but no significant difference from the control. However, it had higher essential oil (1.81%), which was 74% more than that for control (1.04%). It produced 31.82 kg/h, essential oil yields. 19.16 kg/h), which was 74%, and that was 66% higher than that for control (19.16 kg/h). In the second phase (2018-2022), the seeds of the four top genotypes 49 (Daran), 60 (Shazand), 68 (Feridunshahr), and 72 (Khomein) along with were evaluated in 6 research farms in the provinces of East Azerbaijan, Isfahan, Razavi Khorasan, Hamedan, Semnan and Tehran (Homand Absard). Results showed that genotype 60 produced higher DM yield (2039 kg/h), essential oil (2.02%), and thymol (70.1%), which were 73% and 26% higher than that for control (Th. vulgaris), respectively. It was concluded that genotype 60 was the best genotype of Th. daenensis for breeding improved thyme varieties, and it was named as Raihah variety.
