Abstract

The article provides information on the initial technologies for growing Ferula varia, which are distributed in the arid regions of Uzbekistan, and their prospects. Considered a research area, the Kyzylkum desert is considered a dry and low-fat annual area. The result of the meterological analysis of 2020-2023 shows ush that the annual fat content in these years was around 80-110 mm. The species of genus Ferula mostly grows in mountainous regions and some are distributed in arid climates. Various species of Ferula Tourn. ex L. have been reported from Central Asia, Pakistan, India and western Himalayas. Some species of the genus are commonly used as spices. Some of species of genus Ferula are used in the preparation of local drugs. These plants are also known to be a rich source of gum-resin used in folklore medicine. Ongoing research has been conducted based on the variants (experience, hydrogel effects) of Ferula varia of the Kyzylkum desert station. Hydrogel is a synthetic polymer with high water permeability, which allows to store a large amount of moisture in the soil for a long time. Water that enters the soil through atmospheric precipitation or irrigation is stored in the hydrogel in a state where it easily passes to the roots of plants and is released when the plant needs water. Planted specimens were planted during the autumn and spring seasons.
