ABSTRACT
For cultivating anise, a warm, sunny, and dry climate with long and dry autumns is ideal. Therefore, as a rule, cultivation in the northern regions of the earth does not pay, as the fruits do not usually ripen, and harvests are often poor. The plants grow best in light-to medium-weight, loose, chalky humus soil that is free of weeds but rich in nutrients and not too dry. Cold, argillaceous, and moist ground is not suitable. The cultivation plain should be protected from wind (Ebert, 1982; Heeger, 1956; Noack, 1996; Poss, 1991).
