Cover Story: The Dittany of Crete (Origanum dictamnus L. Lamiaceae) is a local endemic plant of Crete (Greece) that creates polysaccharide-containing subcuticular compartments presenting biological activity against pathogenic fungi. This field study developed a fertilization scheme for O. dictamnus based on polysaccharide-based Integrated Nutrient Management (INM), conventional inorganic fertilizers and biostimulants via foliar and soil application. Plant growth, leaf chlorophyll fluorescence and color, leaf content of chlorophyll, critical antioxidant compounds and nutrients were determined. The INM by foliar application was the optimal stimulatory scheme improving key herbal quality features. The improved herbal quality in the Dittany of Crete is exploited in favor of its utilization as a raw material for tea preparation, medicinal purposes, natural food flavoring and/or food preservatives.
