Productivity and essential oil composition of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) were evaluated under the subtropical region of north India. The crop was planted in mid-November and harvested at six different stages. The crop harvested at 225 days after transplanting yielded 88.03 L ha−1 essential oil which was at par with the yield obtained at 210 days (83.34 L ha−1). The essential oils extracted from whole aerial parts and leaves were analysed using gas chromatography–flame ionization detector and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry techniques. A total of 30 constituents, representing 96.2–98.2% of the total oil composition were identified. Major constituents of the oil were camphor (23.9–35.8%), 1,8-cineole (18.0–23.9%), α-pinene (4.5–14.4%), verbenone (6.5–12.4%), camphene (2.5–6.9%), limonene (2.1–2.8%), bornyl acetate (1.1–4.1%), α-terpineol (1.9–3.6%) and β-pinene (2.1–3.3%). In conclusion, cultivation of rosemary as a seasonal crop can produce good-quality essential oil in the subtropical region of north India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
