The field trials were arranged in split plot design with four replications, anise populations were main plots while sowing times were sub plots. According to the results of this research, average value were as follows, plant height 44.7-50.2 cm, seed yield 48.5-81.8 kg/da, biological yield 190.3-352.7 kg/da, branch number 5.61-7.20, 1000 seed weight 4.015.46 g and essential oil ratio 2.09-3.11 %. Regarding the seed yield, the highest values were obtained from Karamanl ı and Gölhisar populations.
