Abstract
The effect of sowing dates on Pancratium maritimum I. was studied at the experimental farm of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Section in El Kanater El Khairia, Kalubia governorate Egypt during 1988 and 1989 seasons. The sowing dates were September 19th, October 19th and November 19th In 1989 one additional sowing date (September 4th) was added. The results showed that, sowing Pancratium early in September was better than sowing lately in October or November, when the fresh weight of the whole bulbs, the fresh and dry weights of the different parts of the plant and the alkaloid percentage and yield were considered. The results emphasized also that, August was found to be the best time for harvesting this plant. It could be recommended that, the best times for sowing and harvesting Pancratium were the beginning of September and August respectively.
