Abstract
Cultivation of wild plants and their cultivation requires knowledge in determining environmental requirements and how environmental conditions affect the plant in question (agricultural aspects), therefore, knowledge of identifying and cultivating plant species, including goldenrod, is very valuable. Dracocephalum kotschyi Bioss. is a valuable native plant due to its high concentration of essential oil, flavonoids, and other secondary metabolites. This research addresses the subject using the results of findings from related studies and research, with the help and citations from reputable and relevant scientific publication sites, as well as books by other researchers for evaluation and comparison using related theories, ideas, and research. The results of the studies show that the planting of Dracocephalum kotschyi Bioss. is done in mid to late April before transplanting the seedlings. Cultivation in a greenhouse and transplanting the seedlings to the main field is the appropriate and common method of cultivating this plant, and a field should be selected that has light, sandy soils or loamy soils. The physiological temperature for the growth of goldenrod is between 5 and 22 degrees Celsius. The use of rotted manure (15-50 tons per hectare depending on the type of land) is recommended when plowing, as well as the use of green manures such as Trifolium and Eruca. It has no specific pests except sheep. No specific diseases have been observed in the areas where this plant is distributed.
