ANALYSIS OF SOME MORPHOLOGICAL AND PRODUCTIVITY PARAMETERS IN Myrtus communis L. UNDER POT CROP CONDITIONS

Abstract

The study evaluated morphological and productivity parameters of Myrtus communis L. plants. The experiment was conducted within the “Atmosfera Verde” Nursery in the area of the University of Life Sciences “King Mihai I” from Timisoara. The myrtle plants were cultivated in pots with a volume of 10 dm3 , in a substrate of horticultural peat (80 %) and perlite (20 %). The plants were 4 years old at the time of experimental observations, November 2025. Plant height (PH) showed low variability (CV = 7.62), mean stem number (MSN) showed moderate variability (CV = 27.13), and fruits number on plant (FNP) showed high variability (CV = 40.54). Polynomial mathematical models and graphical models (3D model, and isoquants) described the variation of FNP in relation to PH and MSN, in statistical safety conditions.
