Novel, high yielding stable Mentha arvensis plant named 'Damroo'

The present invention is related to the development of a stable and high yield mint plant called 'Damroo' capable of producing viable seeds and phenotypically homogeneous seed derived population. More particularly, the invention relates to a high essential oil yielding variety 'Damroo' capable of producing viable seeds and therefore useful as a regular seed-source for raising homogenous seedling populations, an essential prelude to raising an ideal transplanted mint crop. The mint crop can be grown by transplantation after wheat cultivation, instead of cultivating it as main crop in place of wheat, a long sought wise option for cultivating mint without affecting the cultivation of the staple cereal wheat. 'Damroo' owing to its stability in seed-grown population for all morpho-physiological attributes, advances the development of sustained yields. A novel mint population-variety 'Damroo' capable of producing viable seeds and phenotypically homogeneous seed-derived plant population when cross pollinated within its own population and capable of high yield of mint oil.
