With the purpose to define appropriate doses in production of mint cultivation, this research was conducted three locations (Gibraltar, Arboleda and Aguacatal) municipality Jardín, Antioquia. The soils these localities are andisols, with medium contents organic matter, low interchangeable bases, phosphorus boron, characteristics fertility. For research, Mentha spicata L. (mint) seeded at a distance 0.3x0.3 m, an experimental design randomized complete blocks four repetitions, five increasing compound fertilizer (10-30-10) (0, 60, 120, 180, 240 kg ha-1), combination 1.8, 3.6, 5.4, 7 t one control biological fertilizer. In foliage harvests, highest dry matter (DM) yields were achieved application 180 120 ha-1 10-30-10, 156 158 g DM per square meter, respectively.
