It is indigenous to Paraguay and Brazil. Stevia is a natural sweetening and it hasusing potential to diets of obesity patients with non-caloric specialty and treatmentof diabetes with insulin secretagogue specialty. In this study, the effects of differentplanting spaces and two cutting times on yields of two-year old Stevia plant were investigated. The highestdry leaf yield (515.96 kg/da) was obtained from blooming stage, cuttings in springand 30x60 cm planting density.
