Sažetak
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) is a perennial herb used fresh and dry as spice and as medicinal plant with increasing demand on the market. Because the high economic value of thyme in Europe it was important to study the productivity of seven thyme cultivars in a field experiment in loamy sand for two years. The seedlings were transplanted in the week 17 in plots of a block design with four replicates. Tested cultivars differed in growth velocity, habitus, in the positioning the shoot and branches as well as in the initial flowering. Highest yield of dried leaves was found by the cultivars ´Krajovy´ and ´Deutscher Winter´, highest essential oil content was obtained by hybrid cultivars ´Varico 1´ and ´Varico 2´. Highest frost tolerance showed hybrid ´Varico 1´ and the highest sensitivity was obtained for cv. ‘Slonezko’.
