This study, which investigated the effects of 3 different nitrogen doses (Control, 4 kg/da and 8 kg/da) and 3 different phosphorus doses (Control, 3 kg/da and 6 kg/da) on yield and agronomic properties of three different mint species and types (Mentha × piperita L. var Mitcham, M. piperita and M. spicata) in Çanakkale conditions, was carried out in Sarıcaeli Village of Çanakkale province in 2021-2022. In the first year of the study, plant height and essential oil ratios were lower than in the second year. In the second year of the study, green herb yield, drug herb yield, dry matter ratio and essential oil yield were higher. In the trial, plant height generally increased up to 4 kg nitrogen dose and decreased after this dose. The highest value for plant height was obtained from kg nitrogen and 3 kg phosphorus application in M. piperita. When the average of the years is considered, the best result in terms of essential oil ratio was obtained from 4 kg/da nitrogen and 3 kg/da phosphorus application in M. spicata. The highest essential oil yield was determined at 4 kg nitrogen and 3 kg phosphorus dose (M. piperita L. Mitcham 5.95 l/da, M. piperita 5.55 l/da and M. spicata 5.80 l/da). It was revealed that in Çanakkale conditions, M. spicata type mint would be suitable to be produced using 4 kg/da nitrogen and 3 kg/da phosphorus dose fertilizer which is the most yielded and M. piperita L. Mitcham type mint could be used as an alternative.
