Seed Germination of Curryplant (Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don) from Different Populations.

As demand for curryplant is increasing, commercial gathering from the wild could lead to overexploitation of natural resources in Croatia. Therefore, it is important to promote production of medicinal and aromatic crops that is currently very limited. Germination of curryplant seeds collected in nature is often low and unpredictable. The aim of this study was to examine germination of seeds collected from three localities: two in Croatia (Unešić, Hvar) and one in Bosnia and Herzegovina (south Herzegovina). Germination test was performed under controlled conditions following ISTA procedure through 70 days. The obtained data will be the basis for further research concerning the determination of optimal conditions for curryplant seed germination.
