Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) is known and used in various directions since ancient times.

Currently, the species returns both in terms of pharmaceutical remedy and good honey-bearing, as well a delicate spice, being absent from the landscape arrangements of parks, gardens and groves. Our research focused on the selection of two forms of Thymus vulgaris (CCT) and Thymus x citriodora (CFL) obtained by clonal selection. Which differ from the initial forms, by the increased productivity of the raw material, the waist of the plant, and production of essential oil. Have been identified the efficient methods of multiplying the seeding material, for various tests to promote and implement new forms.
