Vegetative growth can be affected by different environmental factors. The objective of this work was to evaluate phytomass production and photosynthetic pigments of Aloysia citrodora plants submitted to different irrigation levels and seasons. The experiment was carried out in a protected environment from August 2015 to March 2017, in an experimental randomized blocks design, 4x4 factorial scheme, with four blocks with four plants each. The irrigation levels tested were 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the field capacity, in the four seasons of the year (autumn, winter, spring and summer). Plant height, fresh and dry mass of branches, fresh and dry mass of leaves, leaf area and photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids) were evaluated. It was observed that water availability and seasons influence phytomass production as well as the photosynthetic pigment analyzes. Low irrigation levels and cultivation during autumn and winter adversely affect vegetative growth. Furthermore, our results indicate that for higher phytomass production, it is recommended to cultivate Aloysia citrodora during spring and summer under irrigation levels of 75% and 100% of field capacity. Spring season promotes higher content of photosynthetic pigments. This study will open new avenues and perspectives to elucidate possible changes in secondary metabolites of Aloysia citrodora, a medicinal plant, in the presence of changes in the growing seasons and different stress conditions, including water stress.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
