abstract: The research was made during the years 2001-2003 at the Experimental Station Lublin-Felin of the University of Agriculture, Lublin. The aim was to measure plants of six species of dill: ‘Amat’, ‘Ambrozja’, ‘Fantazos’, ‘Lukullus’, ‘Kronos’ and ‘Szmaragd’ growing on the field. The seeds were sown from April till August and the climate (temperature, rain) and fertilisation were very important in the experiment. The plants were cropped when the majority of them was 20 to 25cm high, and then estimations were made of their height, length of leaves, and number of leaves of each from 50 plants. The height of the plants, the length and the number of leaves depended on each species and the term of sowing when the temperature and the dampness of the soil changed. The best climate conditions for plants gathering were in July (from seeds sown in June), the worst were in September (seeds sown in August). The biggest plants were these ones from ‘Fantazos’ and ‘Szmaragd’ species, the longest leaves had the plants from ‘Fantazoss’ species, and the biggest number of leaves – those from ‘Lukullus’ and ‘Szmaragd’ species. There were, of course, differences between species each year, but the biggest plants with the biggest numbers of the longest leaves grew in the year 2003.
