RESOURCES OF RAW MATERIAL SPECIES OF MEDICINAL PLANTS OF RADIUS PHYTOCENOSES OF PEREYASLAVSCHINA

Abstract

The article presents the results of the resource assessment and location of individual raw material species of medicinal plants of meadow and meadow-steppe phytocenoses of Pereyaslav region (Kyiv region, Boryspil district). It is established that the participation of wild medicinal plants of Pereyaslav region in meadow phytocenoses takes the second (145 species out of the total number – 582), and in meadow-steppe third (114 species) places. The meadow type of floristic complexes in the study area is represented by floodplain meadows of the Dnieper, Supa, Trubizh, Alta, Brovarka rivers, and a number of small rivers. They are presented in four types of formations: steppe, real, swampy and saline meadows.During the field research conducted in 2015-2020, the resources of wild raw medicinal plants of official medicine were taken into account: Achillea submillefolium Klok. et Krytzka, Hypericum perforatum L., Helichrysum arenarium (L.) Moench, Thymus serpyllum L. and their raw material productivity (biological and operational reserves) in meadow and meadow-steppe ecotopes of Pereyaslav region was determined. The location of raw materials of the studied species of medicinal plants of the natural flora of the specified area is determined.As a result of resource surveys, it was found that the stocks of Achillea submillefolium are significant and fully sufficient to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry; stocks of Thymus serpyllum, Hypericum perforatum are sufficient for industrial procurement; reserves of Helichrysum arenarium are insufficient and need to be limited.
