Seed samples of Anatolian sage (S. fruticosa Mill.) belong to 10 populations were collected from flora composed the research material. Fresh herb yield (kg/da), dry herb yield (kg/da), fresh foliage yield (kg/da), dry foliage yield (kg/da), essential oil yield (%) and essential oil components (%) of populations were determined. First year dry foliage yield and essential oil yield ranged between 439.86–691.62 kg/da and 3.26–4.34%, and the following year they were between 507.74–986.70 kg/da and 2.53–3.88% respectively. The main components of essential oil were identified as 1.8-cineole, camphor and β-caryophyllene. The present components ranged between 23.2–37.3%, 8.1–29.1% and 2.8–14.8% in the successive two years. Keywords : Marmara Region, Anatolian sage, Salvia fruticosa Mill., yield, quality
