Stevia is a natural sweetening and it has using potential to diets of obesity patients with non-caloric specialty and treatment of diabetes with insulin secretagogue specialty. In this study, the effects of different planting spaces and two cutting times on yields of two-year old Stevia plant were investigated. The highest dry leaf yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(515.96 kg/da); was obtained from blooming stage, cuttings in spring and 30x60 cm planting density.
