Studying the collections of the botanical garden and nursery of the branches of VILAR and the creation of medicinal plants plantations

Abstract

In the Botanical Garden and collection nurseries of VILAR branches, medicinal plants are preserved in the form of intact plants and seeds. For 70 years, the biological features and primary methods of growing more than 90 species of promising medicinal plants have been studied, of which 24 were transferred to other departments of the institute for further study. As a result of research work on the basis of biocollections of the Botanical Garden, together with other research departments of the Institute, more than 30 new medicines and medicinal forms have been created. The scheme recommended and often used by us for creating commercial plantations of medicinal plants by farms / organizations that want to grow them for the first time allows them to optimally and efficiently use all available resources. Medicinal plants are grown simultaneously or almost at the same time: in the experimental plot (15–30 species), the so-called pharmacy garden; b) on experimental - industrial sites (4–6 species); c) on commercial plantations (1–3 species).
