It is indigenous to Paraguay and Brazil. <i>Stevia </i> is a natural sweetening and it has using potential to diets of obesity patients with non-caloric specialty and treatment of diabetes with insulin secretagogue specialty. In this study, the effects of different planting spaces and two cutting times on yields of two-year old <i>Stevia </i> plant were investigated. The highest dry leaf yield (515.96 kg/da) was obtained from blooming stage, cuttings in spring and 30x60 cm planting density. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3, Special Issue 2}, publisher={İzzet KARA}
