BIOECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LEONURUS TURKESTANICUS

Abstract

The article provides data on the creation of Rose hip plantations according to
the 10x2m scheme. It is indicated that perennial medicinal plants (Leonurus
turkestanicus) can be grown in the row spacing of the created rosehip plantations.
Laboratory seed germination of Leonurus turkestanicus averages 82,5% and soil
germination of seeds is 82.2%. Plant keeping is 93-95.8%. In the first year of the
growing season, the height of the plants reaches 30-46 cm and the yield is 0.7-0.8
c/ha. The most intensive growth in plants is observed from the second year of the
growing season. Generative phases of development are observed in July and
continue until the end of September, and the yield of plants is 18-20 с/ha. In the
third and subsequent years in plants, the beginning of the growing season is
observed from March. At the same time, the height of the plants is 105.7 cm, and
the yield reaches up to 25-27 c/ha. It was revealed that at the same time, due to
agrotechnical measures for medicinal plants in the aisles, a rosehip plantation is
formed in parallel and economic efficiency is manifested in the first year of the
growing season
