Abstract

This article presents the results of research on the assessment of natural resources of a medicinal plant used in both scientific and folk medicine – high-grade elecampane on the territory of East Kazakhstan. In the course of the research, two promising cenopopulations (Ushbulak and Seleznevskaya cenopopulations) of high-grade elecampane on the territory of the Listvyaga and Ulbinsky ridges were identified for the procurement of medicinal raw materials. The biological and operational reserves of rhizomes and roots, as well as the volume of annual raw material procurement, have been determined. Due to the location of the thickets of Inula helenium in the Ushbulak cenopopulation near the village of Ushbulak, the herbage is partially disturbed by cattle grazing, which affects the growth of Inula helenium in the herbage. The results obtained can be used to clarify the possible resources of an important medicinal plant and to develop measures for the protection of this species in East Kazakhstan.
