ESSENTIAL OIL AND MEDICINAL PLANT RESOURCES IN SOME AREAS OF CENTRAL TAJIKISTAN

Abstract

The results of studies to determine the biological reserves of medicinal plants indicate that the resources in the studied sites of gorges - Magov, Kondara, Guzgarf and Semigandzh significantly different from each other. On the site Magov there are more stocks of Achillea filipendulina area of 13.5 hectares and 6,694.6 kg output of air-dried raw materials and Hupericum perforatum, respectively, with an area of 17.1 hectares and 2871.1 kg output of air- dried raw materials. On the site Semigandzh,due to its soil structure (fine gravel) there is a majority of Rheum Maximowiczii fishing thicket - 25.94 hectares with biological reserve of 38386.6 kg. And in the gorge Guzgarf formed small areas of Inula helenium and Salvia sclarea fishing thickets. The analysis of the dynamics of change of reserves and resources of medicinal plants in Magov gorge show thatthe depletion is in very high leveland it requires the organization of emergency measures for the protection and promotion of natural regeneration in the area.
