ABSTRACT


The aim of this work was to study the effect of quantity of light, day length and temperature on growth of following spice plants: dill ‘Ambrozja’ (Anethum graveolens L), garden chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium L. Hoffm.), garden rocket (Eruca sativa Lam.) and parsley ‘Titan’ (Petroselinum crispum Mill. subsp. crispum). Plants were grown in growth chambers. Daily photon flux and temperature had the greatest influence on height of plants. The highest plants of all the species were recorded where plants grew in daily photon flux of PAR – 2.9 mol·m-2 and temperature 25°C.

Key words: artificial light, temperature, height, spice plants.
