Herbal medicines have been used since ancient times against various diseases. In
recent times, compounds of natural origin have become increasingly important due to the
presence of a huge number of physiologically active phytocomponents in them and the
wide chemical diversity that they possess. The increased demand for herbal preparations
is associated with the relatively safe use of herbal preparations due to their availability
and less toxicity. In several resolutions of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it
is noted “To ensure the development of technologies for
the production of medicines
necessary for medicine and agriculture by processing raw ferula”. Based on the chemical
components, namely the terpenoids of the plant
F. tadshikorum
and the identified
biological activity, work is underway to develop technology
and prepare for the
introduction of a number of effective medicines for medicine.
F. tadshikorum
Рimenov is
a perennial, monocarpic, strongly and unpleasantly smelling herbaceous plant of the
celery family -
Apiaceae
.
In Uzbekistan,
F. tadshikorum
Рimenov
grows in
Kashkadarya, Surkhandarya, and other regions. In folk medicine of the East, the use of
F. tadshikorum Рimenov
is known as an antiparasitic, antispasmodic, and expectorant,
for tuberculosis, syphilis, and malignant tumors, and other properties. It is known from
the literature that in the East, the resin is used as a spice,
obtained from fresh ferula
roots by cutting. Currently, industrial preparations of this resin, which is exported in
tons as a spice to India, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, lead to the depletion of the reserves
of this plant. Therefore, the conservation of natural resources of this plant is an urgent
problem. In 2021-2022, we examined the habitats of
F. tadshikorum
Рimenov on
Babatag: the vicinity of SS. Karankul, Sharildy, Kaplansay, Beshstalba and Kurka. It
grows in the semi-savannah and shilyak belts; in bluegrass, barley, pistachios, almonds,
along the edges of maple forests, in groups of double-leaved, joster, cherry, sapling, it is
often an edificator or sub-edificator; on loess and fine earth-gravelly slopes, limestones,
variegated flowers at an altitude of 1100-1800 m above sea level.
To determine
the reserves on the ground, accounting areas of 10 square meters in
size were laid. From 4 to 7 plants grew on average on the laid sites. The wet weight of
the roots was 2.6 kg, the dry weight was 0.780 kg, and in terms of 1 hectare, 780 kg. As
a result of surveys, thickets of plants were found in an area of 27 hectares. On the
identified arrays, the total stock of dry roots was 21.06 tons. Based on fieldwork, it was
found that the reserves of
F. tadshikorum
Рimenov
in Uzbekistan, where there were
practically significant commercial thickets due to their increased exploitation, have been
severely undermined in recent years. The places of the former distribution of this type
of ferula are visible to the naked eye, since the surface of the soil is literally dotted with
pits left after harvesting the resin of the roots.
To further develop the export potential of the raw material
F. tadshikorum
Рimenov,
as well as to preserve biodiversity, it is necessary to create artificial plantations in the
places of natural growth of this plant species. Over the past 3-4 years, according to the
data provided by farmers, they have planted more than 3,500 hectares of plantations in
the places of natural growth of this species by sowing seeds.
