Agroscope Changins- Wädenswil ACW carried out a selection program to optimize quality and yield of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) varieties, obtaining 56 new hybrids by crossing male sterile with male fertile clones.[...] The influence of the number of glands (trichomes) and of harvest period on the essential oil contents was estimated. The peak production of essential oil takes place in the morning, and maximal concentration in essential oil for the second harvest is between July 20th and August 20th for the studied year. The excellent correlation between trichomes density and essential oil content of the leaves offers opportunities for hybrid selection at seedling stage. An application for variety protection was filed for Varico 3, now recommended to producers in Switzerland and Central Europe interested in a thymol-rich thyme.
