Production and alleopathic potential of plants of Satureja genus
HOŘEJŠÍ, Lenka
In Czech Republic, two species of savory namely summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) and winter savory (Satureja montana L.) are grown. Aim of this work is to summarize information about biological characteristics and requirements of both species on environmental conditions, production of these drugs in the Czech Republic and abroad, effective substances and their effects and possibilities of savory utilization in manufacturing industry and agriculture. Overground parts and leaves of savory plants are exploited like a spice or a drug that positively influences digestion, reduces flatulence and has also anti?inflammatory effects. Major components of volatile oil savory are phenolic compounds carvacrol and thymol. Just carvacrol and thymol are considered as allelopathic compounds of mint, sweet basil, caraway and others. On the basis some studies, we can assume that they are also potential allelopathic compounds of savory. Summer savory is more suitable for growing in the Czech Republic especially in the ecological agriculture than winter savory. We can easily include this crop in the crop rotation because it is an annual plant and there is a lower hazard of failure e.g. frost damage. Growing of winter savory would be more suitable for the essential oil production.
