ИНТЕГРАЛЬНАЯ ОЦЕНКА ПЕРСПЕКТИВНОСТИ ИНТРОДУКЦИИ SCHIZANDRA CHINENSIS (TURCZ.) BAILL. НА ЮЖНОМ УРАЛЕ

Abstract

The peper presents the results of a long-term introduction studying of Schizandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. The aim of the research was to assess the prospects for the introduction and introduced stability of the Chinese lemongrass collection of lianas of the South Ural botanical garden-institute of the Ufa Federal research center of the RAS (Bashkir Cis-Urals, northern forest-steppe) for the subsequent expansion of the range of plants recommended for cultivation in the regions of the Southern Urals. Observations of the seasonal rhythm of development were carried out over 8 years (2014-2021) for 7 phenophases. The assessment of introduction stability was carried out in accordance with the scale of N.V. Trulevich. The completeness of the passage of the shoot development cycle, the stability of rhythmic processes, the vital state, the preservation of the life form and the rate of ontogenesis, and renewal were assessed. According to the results of our research, we have revealed that the lemongrass has successfully passed the introduction tests. This species under culture conditions consistently passes all phases of seasonal development and is adapted to local climatic weather conditions. It has high winter hardiness, and is also decorative throughout the growing season. The duration of the vegetation period during introduction is more than 5 months. An integral assessment of the data allows us to attribute the taxon to the first group of prospects for introduction, Chinese lemongrass is a highly resistant plant. The culture is promising for use in recreational areas of Ufa and other settlements of the Southern Urals.
