Description:

Dill is a hapaxanthic annual herb very similar in appearance and structure to fennel, that reaches a height of 3 to 4 ft (0.9 – 1.2 m) at maturity. It has finely cut ferny leaves that appear quite feathery, and small, yellowish-green flowers are borne in umbels. The plant usually consists of a single stalk, with hollow stems and blue-green foliage.

Range & Habitat:

Dill, Anethum graveolens L., an annual or biennial aroma herb native to Europe, is naturalized to North America and the West Indies. Principal dill production areas are India and Pakistan, but Egypt, Fiji, Mexico, the Netherlands, the United States, England, Hungary, Germany, and Holland also have commercially productive areas. The plant grows erect and can reach a height of one meter. It is characterized by hollow stems, blue-green leaves, and yellow-flowering compound umbels, which produce a dried ripe fruit commonly called seeds.

The reported life zone is 6 to 26 degrees centigrade with an annual precipitation of 0.5 to 1.7 meters and a soil pH of 5.3 to 7.8.

The hardy plant requires long days and cool weather, and is sensitive to environmental stresses, such as low moisture, hail, high temperatures, strong winds, and hard rains during the flowering and seed maturation period. Seed yields will decrease under very high temperatures. Oil yields increase with greater day length and warmer temperatures. Dill requires 12 to 18 in (30 – 45 cm) of water during the growing season.

The plant grows best in deep, fertile loam soils.

Planting & Cultivation:

Seeding

Dill seed is very small and requires a fine, firm seedbed with moisture close to the surface for maximum emergence. Germination occurs in 10 to 14 days at approximately 15° C. Dill should be seeded in early May or as early as possible after the danger of frost is over.

The seed should be placed at a depth of 0.75 to 1.0 in (2 – 2.5cm). Deeper seeding will result in poor emergence.

Commercial dill is generally planted in rows 21 to 24 in (54 – 61 cm) apart, although research plots have produced well at 14 inch (35 cm) and 6 inch (15 cm) row spacings. The seeding rate for dill is 8 to 10 lb/ac (9 – 11 kg/ha).

Fertilization

Dill responds well to high levels of fertility. Soil sampling will help determine the fertility level of the soil, but generally 60 lb/ac (66 kg/ha) of nitrogen and 30 lb/ac (33 kg/ha) of phosphorous are required. If the soil is low in potassium, an application of 30 to 40 lb/ac (33 – 44 kg/ha) may be necessary. Fertilizer may be broadcast or applied as a side dressing, but should not be applied directly with the seed.

Harvesting and Preparing for the Market:

Harvesting

Dill matures approximately ninety days after seeding. Seed harvesting should be done when the crop is damp, during early morning, to decrease shattering. For the fresh herb market, dill should be cut at first bloom. When harvesting for essential oil, dill should be cut when the early seed clusters begin to turn brown. Oil quantity and quality are their best at this time.

Dill is harvested for the limonene, dillapiole and carvone content in its oil. The dill plant is allowed to wilt in the swath for 24 hours and then is picked up with silage harvesters and blown into steam-tight forage boxes.

Yield of seed per Acre:

Typical yields for dill seed range from 500 to 800 lb/ac (560 – 900 kg/ha).

Dill oil yields approximately ten percent of seed yields. (50 – 8- lb/ac)
