abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of chosen meteorological factors on yield indices of four herb species grown under conditions of sprinkler irrigation. The study was based on results obtained from four field experiments carried out in 1999-2002 at Nadroż near Rypin. The following herb species were tested: white mustard, coriander, common origanum, common thyme. The herbs were grown on a grey-brown podzolic soil (soil of quality class IIIa, and of good-wheat-soil-complex). It was found that air temperature, rainfall and sprinkler irrigation during the vegetation period influenced the yields and contents of tested components in the herbs.
