THE PROSPECTS OF CULTIVATING LEONURUS TURKESTANICUS IN SOUTHERN REGIONS OF UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

The article presents the results of scientific research on the cultivation of _Turkestan Lion's Tail_ (Leonurus turkestanicus). The germination rate of the plant seeds was 82.5% under laboratory conditions, 82.2% in the field, and the preservation rate was 93-95%. In the first year, the plants were fully formed, reaching a height of 30-45 cm, with a yield of 0.7-0.8 tons per hectare.
Intensive growth of the plants was observed from the second year of life onwards, with the generative (July-September) period being recorded. During this year, their yield reached 18-20 tons per hectare. In the third and subsequent years of life, the main stem height reached 105.7 cm, with a yield of 25-27 tons per hectare.
