Artemisia annua L. is an annual aromatic antibacterial herb, with effective antimalarial properties due to the presence of artemisinin. The intention of the present study was to establish plant survival, growth attributes, yield attributes and artemisinin yield of A. annua cv CIM – Arogya with different transplanting months in two cropping seasons (March 2005–February 2006 and March 2006–February 2007) under temperate climatic conditions of Himalaya, India. Artemisinin yield in the dried leaves was found maximum amongst the plants that were transplanted in March (24.39kgha⁻¹) and minimum in those transplanted in November (3.39kgha⁻¹).
