This study was conducted to obtain the basic data for using the Artemisia anuua as a new economic crop,thus Artemisia anuua was investigated their cultivation characteristics, yield, and variation of artemisinin contents by plantingdensity and harvesting times. Seed characteristics of A. anuua have observed micro-size, and their germination optimumtemperature was at 15 to 20 celsius degree. Planting density on the yield of A. anuua was increased high density better thanlow density. The highest yield was planted in the space of 30×10㎝. Moreover, optimum harvesting time of A. anuua wasinvestigated in early september and a periods of most highly detected artemisinin was time of before and after bloomingof A. anuua.Key Words : Art
