Lovage (Levisticum officinale Koch.) is a perennial medicinal and aromatic plant from Apiaceae family. It is well established that lovage is a diuretic and expectorant, as well as that it has anticancerogenic and antioxidative properties. It is used both as spice and as vegetable. It also has great potential for use in organic agriculture. Lovage flower is rich in pollen and nectar, and thus attractive to many insects, among them predators and parasitoids of pests. Lovage is, therefore, often grown as protection crop. In addition, it is established that lovage extract has allelopatic (reducing germination of weeds Lepidium sativum and Cardaria draba), insecticide (on Tribolium confusum and Locusta migratoria) and antimicrobial properties (on bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium fortuitum and M. Aurum, as well as fungi Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and A. ochraceus). Bearing in mind the great potential of lovage uses, this paper focuses on its growing technology, as well as on pests and diseases affecting lovage crop.
