Abstract

The article analyzes the state of cultivation of sage nutmeg in Ukraine, the use of medicinal herbal raw materials of guaranteed quality, as well as the principles and rules of good practice for the production of herbal medicinal products in accordance with GMP requirements, which outlines the requirements for standardization of medicinal herbal raw materials and the main indicators of its quality. The use of the BK-1.0 cultivator instead of the KPS-4 for pre-sowing tillage resulted in an increase of the pre-sowing soil moisture in the 0-30 cm layer on all plowing and sowing options. Sowing time also affected the productivity of the crop. maximum yield of sage clusters of nutmeg in the first, second and third years of use was obtained at the first (first decade of December) sowing period –15.01 –14.61 t / ha. The optimal dose of application of mineral fertilizers for plowing to a depth of 2022 and 28-30 cm was determined. The optimal terms of sowing of nutmeg, its row spacing and years of plantation use were determined
