AB  - Lavandula sp. essential oil and hydrolate are commercially valuable in various industry
branches with the potential for wide-ranging applications. This study aimed to evaluate the quality
of these products obtained from L. x intermedia cv. ‘Budrovka’ for the first time cultivated on Fruška
Gora Mt. (Serbia) during three successive seasons (2019, 2020, and 2021). Essential oil extraction
was obtained by steam distillation, and the composition and influence of weather conditions were
also assessed, using flowering tops. The obtained essential oils and hydrolates were analysed by
gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled to
mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A linear regression model was developed to predict L. x intermedia cv.
‘Budrovka’ essential oil volatile compound content and hydrolate composition during three years,
according to temperature and precipitation data, and the appropriate regression coefficients were
calculated, while the correlation analysis was employed to analyse the correlations in hydrolate
and essential oil compounds. To completely describe the structure of the research data that would
present a better insight into the similarities and differences among the diverse L. x intermedia cv.
‘Budrovka’ samples, the PCA was used. The most dominant in L. intermedia cv. ‘Budrovka’ essential
oil and hydrolate were oxygenated monoterpenes: linalool, 1,8-cineole, borneol, linalyl acetate, and
terpinene-4-ol. It is established that the temperature was positively correlated with all essential oil
and hydrolate compounds. The precipitations were positively correlated with the main compounds
(linalool, 1,8-cineole, and borneol), while the other compounds’ content negatively correlated to
precipitation. The results indicated that Fruška Gora Mt. has suitable agro-ecological requirements
for cultivating Lavandula sp. and providing satisfactory essential oil and hydrolate.
