he flora of Central Asia is rich in medicinal plants, but because of insufficient research only an inconsiderable amount is recommended for usage in scientific medicine. That's why the introductory study of pharmacopoean is actual. Taking into account the diseases of the region only 60 species were chosen for research out of 550 growing in collection. They represent the tropics, subtropics and moderate zones for different floristic regions. Some of them were introduced by us in the sharp continental climate first. On the experimental plot we studied the bio-ecology and adaptive possibilities of plants. The perspective species were for the first time experimented geographically in the regions of the republic under experimental-production conditions in valleys, being watered, as well as on foothills without water. Division into districts was done. Seeds, planting material and recommendations on growing of 55 species were given to forestry and vegetable farms. Stable high crops were achieved when the recommendations were observed.
