The results revealed that, nipping of mint (Mentha arvensis L.) at 35 day after transplanting (T) recorded the highest plant height (89.3 cm), no. of branches/plant (99), leaf: stem ratio (1.31:1), fresh herb yield of mint (272.67 q/ha), oil content (1.20%) and oil yield (326.27 kg/ha) as compared to others and the lowest was found in T - control (no nipping).
