Very few species of the genus Artemisia have been studied from an agro-phytotechnical point of view, although most of them are perennial, aromatic plants, with possible uses in medicine, human nutrition, animal feed, biofuel production, pharmaceutical or food industry, well adapted to environmental conditions, resistant to drought. The authors studied nine species of the genus: Artemisia absinthium, Artemisia abrotanum, Artemisia argyi, Artemisia austriaca, Artemisia dracunculus, Artemisia lavandulaefolia, Artemisia pontica and Artemisia vulgaris. Based on research and measurements, it has been established that there is a directly proportional relationship between plant height and grass production, with high-altitude species having the best yields. The species Artemisia lancea and Artemisia lavandulaefolia, of Asian origin, adapted well to the pedo-climatic conditions in Iasi county and had a significantly higher production than the control Artemisia absinthium.
