RESOURCE POSSIBILITIES OF SOME TYPES OF MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE TURKESTAN RIDGE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the diversity of some species of plants with medicinal properties found on the Turkestan Range, their current state and assessment of their resource capabilities for the prodaction of medicinal raw materials. Of the studied species, due to the lower biological mass of the species Adiantum capillus-veneris and the rarity of the species Allium karataviense, there are very few resources. The resource potential of Ephedra intermedia as a source of raw materials for the preparation of medicinal products is relatively high; for this species, the production of raw materials for this region averages 8200 kg per year. According to this indicator, the species Anthoxanthum alpinum (3400 kg) and Clematis orientalis (4200 kg) are, to one degree or another, species with sufficient resources. The remaining species have limited resource capabilities, since their annual production ranges from 300 kg (Oxygraphis glacialis) to 1700 kg (Milium effusum). These medicinal plants can be used in practice only under conditions of strict control over their collection
