Improving the method of cultivating narrow-leaved fireweed

The research aim is to develop the most effective technology of Ivan-tea cultivation, as well as methods for fermenting plant leaves to produce black and red tea As a result of laboratory research and field experiments, a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of direct and seedling methods for the cultivation of fireweed was carried out; the identified responsiveness of fireweed seed to presowing seed treatment with growth regulators; established the optimal concentration of applied growth regulators and organic fertilizers for presowing treatment of seeds; a comprehensive system of crop protection Ivan-tea from pests and to obtain data on the possibility of using direct seeding of seeds of willow-herb in open ground for seed reproduction; methods of improvement of vegetative reproduction of cypress by rhizomes which in aggregate allow to draw a conclusion about success of the carried-out researches are developed. The proposed method for processing raw materials from cultivated and wild plants allows to obtain an innovative product with high commercialization potential, which enables to recommend it for introduction into food, agricultural, processing and pharmaceutical practices
