MENTHOL

A Reliable Choice for Essential Oil Production

The «Menthol» mint variety from NPF «Rossiyskie Semena» is the outcome of extensive selection work by experts (Vinogradov Z. S., Zazimko V. V.) and the «Euro-Semena» company. This variety has established itself as a reliable source of raw materials for producers seeking a balance between high essential oil concentration and resilience against environmental stressors.

Crop Health as a Priority

A key advantage of the «Menthol» variety is its complex resistance to pathogens and pests. In intensive farming conditions, this variety demonstrates high immunity against:

• Fungal diseases: Verticillium wilt, powdery mildew, and mint rust.
• Pests: spider mites, aphids, and mint leaf beetles.

This genetic robustness allows for a significant reduction in fungicide and insecticide usage, which is critical for producing culinary and medicinal-grade raw materials where product purity is paramount.

Application and Organoleptics

The variety is distinguished by its deep green leaves and a strong, intense menthol aroma. Thanks to its high essential oil content, «Menthol» is versatile in its application:

• Culinary: an ingredient for beverages, desserts, and dressings.
• Medicinal: a component for phytopreparations with sedative and antispasmodic effects.
• Essential oil industry: a commercial crop intended for oil extraction.

Selecting «Menthol» from NPF «Rossiyskie Semena» provides farmers with a professional solution aimed at obtaining a standardized crop with predictable characteristics and high quality metrics.
