Specii din genul Agastache în colecţia de plante condimentar-aromatice ale Institutului de Genetică, Fiziologie şi Protecţie a Plantelor

Abstract

Currently, there is significant interest in ethnic and traditional phytotherapy. Four species of the genus Agastache have been tested to determine their potential for introduction and cultivation as culinary, aromatic, medicinal, and ornamental plants. Species from the genus Agastache have undergone morphological, taxonomic, and horticultural research, with the strongest and most adaptable genotypes being selected, as well as methods for their multiplication and practical use identified. This paper presents some results related to the study of the introduction, adaptation, and multiplication of the genus Agastache, with a focus on the following species: A. foeniculum (Pursh) O. Kuntze Britton, A. urticifolia (Benth.) Kuntze, A. rugosa (Fisch. & C.A. Mey.) Kuntze, A. x auratus (A. Gray).
