Proper temperature and day length are essential to the quality and quantity of oil
produced.
Mint requires long periods of sunlight to obtain the largest quantity of oil.
Oil quality is highest when mint is grown in locations with hot days and cool nights.
Cool night-time temperatures minimize the presence of menthofuran, which
imparts a bitter taste to the oil.
