abstract = "Arnica montana is endemic medicinal plant species that, due to its biological activity, is widely used in medicine, pharmacy, and cosmetics, which is why it has a high commercial value. According to legal regulations prohibiting the exploitation of A. montana from natural habitats and the limitation of human resources in its production, there is a constant need to improve the technology of its cultivation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of agrotextile mulch film on the flower yield of A. montana in the second year of cultivation. A. montana seedlings produced at the "Dr. Josif Pančić" Institute from autumn 2021 to spring 2022 were used for the experiment. In the middle of May 2022, a demonstration experiment was set up on Tara mountain (43°54'31.4"N 19°32'22.6"E) on the district cambisol on an area of 10 m2 with and without the application of mulch at a density of 24 plants/m2 . Due to the successive flowering of A. montana, seven harvests were conducted out in the period from the beginning to the end of June 2023. The average flower yield per plant differed significantly in harvests and treatments (with and without agrotextiles), but the highest number of flowers (1.20; 1.18), as well as the yield (30.03; 29.58 g/m2 ), was obtained during the fourth harvest. The average yield of air-dried flowers without the use of agrotextiles ranged from 97.15 g/m2 in the first harvest to the last, whereas a slightly higher yield was achieved with the use of agrotextiles, 105.9 g/m2 .",
