CULTIVATION OF MINT (MENTHA L.) IN SOUTHERN UZBEKISTAN AND STUDY OF ITS GREEN MASS AND SEED PRODUCTIVITY

This article examines the cultivation technology of mint (Mentha L.) under the soil and climatic conditions of southern Uzbekistan, particularly the Surkhandarya region, and investigates ways to increase its green biomass and seed productivity. The study analyzes the effects of agrotechnical measures, irrigation regimes, and fertilizer application rates adapted to the hot and arid climate of the southern region on mint vegetation. In addition, scientifically based recommendations are provided regarding the optimal timing and methods for obtaining high-quality green biomass and seeds for the production of essential oils and medicinal raw materials.本文针对乌兹别克斯坦南部，特别是苏尔汉河州（Surkhandarya）的土壤与气候条件，开展薄荷（Mentha L.）栽培技术研究，并探究提升其绿色生物量与种子生产性能的有效途径。本研究分析了适配该南部地区炎热干旱气候的农艺措施、灌溉制度与施肥量对薄荷生长发育的影响。此外，本文还针对为生产精油及药用原料而获取高品质绿色生物量与种子的最佳时机与方法，提出了基于科学依据的合理化建议。
