К изучению ресурсов лекарственных растений Атырауской области

Abstract

The study of medicinal plant resources is important for the organization of a system of rational environmental management and environmental monitoring. Resource surveys of the natural territories of the Atyrau region were carried out to determine the potential for procurement of medicinal raw materials. Thickets suitable for harvesting were identified for 10 species of medicinal plants. The localization sites of thickets, the yield of plant raw materials (for air-dry weight), abundance and operational reserves were determined. The following areas of thickets and volumes of potential collection of raw materials were established: Peganum harmala — 22.5 hectares and 116.95 tons; Alhagi pseudoalhagi — 228.0 hectares and 196.05 tons; Alhagi persarum — 12.3 hectares and 13.21 tons; Scabiosa isetensis — 12.3 hectares and 4.2 tons; Artemisia terrae-albae — 40.2 hectares and 13.43 tons; Tanacetum santolina — 2.3 hectares and 0.9 tons; Helichrysum arenarium — 15.4 hectares and 2.1 tons; Anabasis aphylla — 126.0 hectares and 24.89 tons; Glycyrrhiza glabra — 36.2 hectares and 20.48 tons; Althaea officinalis — 88.0 hectares and 14.24 tons. The obtained information on plant resources can be used in planning and organizing raw materials for the needs of the pharmaceutical industry of Kazakhstan.
