The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of foliar fertilization on the growth, development and productivity of lavender Jubileyna variety - the first and second year of cultivation. It is known that the soil and climate conditions are major factors in terms of growth and productivity in lavender. Important for science and practice is to determine the effect of different combinations of nutrients on yield and its components for this essential oil culture. They are used fertilizers with a different composition in terms of macro and micronutrients. The variants of the experiment are four (three leaf fertilizers + untreated controls) and the size of the experimental plot is 500 m2. The application of leaf fertilizers is carried out in the budding phase of lavender. The results of some of the products show that foliar fertilization has a significant impact on the growth and productivity of the lavender. Some nutrients help to overcome physiological stress due to adverse weather factors. This leads to the formation of higher yields of flowers and oil of lavender.
