INTRODUCTION
•The oldest known medicinal plant
•Lamiaceae family
•10–12 species
•Area: Mediterranean
•Flowering period: from June-July
to October

3.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GROWING
•light soil
•sunny location
•vegetative and seed
reproduction
•cold tolerant

4. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

antibacterial and antifungal effects;
anti-inflammatory effect;
sedative effect;
stimulant and tonic effect on the
digestive, urinary, nervous and bronchial
systems;
• to inhibit sweating;
• for improving memory;
• for bruises.

5.

AIM:
To evaluate the efficiency of different hyssop varieties for
growing and cultivation in the non-chernozem soil zone of
Russia
PROBLEMS:
1) to select varieties samples from different regions;
2) to study seasonal rhythms and growth dynamics of
hyssop
3) to determine the yield and quantitative essential oil
content in raw materials
4) to evaluate promising varieties

11. CONCLUSION

1) The highest essential oil yield was obtained in the mass flowering
phase of plants.
2) Hot temperature (above 250C) and lack of rainfalls two - three weeks
before plant harvesting contribute to maximum essential oil
accumulation.
3) In 2012 sample number 3 (German manufacturer Carl Sperling &
Co) had the highest yield (0.628 kg/m2)
4) The "Rime" Variety had low yield (0.395 kg/m2), but the highest
content of essential oils of fresh raw materials (0.56%). Belarusian
variety "Lapis" had high yield (0.602 kg/m2) and high content of
essential oil in fresh raw materials during the period of flowering
(0.49%).

12.

The best productivity was shown by
Rime and Lapis varieties.

13. IMPORTANCE

• great potential for genetic selection
• diversity of species in the middle zone
• decorative plant
pleasant aroma
