Abstract
The increasing demand for medicinal and aromatic plants highlights the importance of developing effective cultivation and propagation strategies. Origanum majorana L. is a valuable medicinal and aromatic plant widely used in pharmaceutical and food industries. This study aimed to analyze the seasonal development dynamics of Origanum majorana L. under the agro-climatic conditions of Uzbekistan. The research was conducted at the experimental farm of Tashkent State Agrarian University during 2022–2024 using standard phenological observation methods. The results indicated that climatic conditions and sowing time influenced early growth stages, particularly seed germination. Vegetative growth generally occurred from March to mid-June, followed by bud formation and a prolonged flowering period lasting until early November. The total vegetation period ranged from 236 to 240 days in the second and third years. These findings confirm the high adaptability of Origanum majorana L. and its suitability for cultivation as a medicinal crop in Uzbekistan.
