Phenological Assessment for Agronomic Suitability of Some <i>Agastache</i> Species Based on Standardized BBCH Scale

Increasing interest in medicinal plants encourages the growers to consider extending their range of cultivated species. Acclimatization and adaptation of species introduced for cultivation in new areas remain a challenge of modern agriculture. One of the first steps for optimizing the cultivation te...
