CULTIVATION OF MEDICINAL HERB HYPERICUM PERFORATUM IN THE LABORATORY CONDITION
Abstract
This scientific article presents scientific data on the cultivation of medicinal herb Hypericum perforatum L. in the laboratory condition. In the laboratory condition, the rate of seed germination was much higher (75%-78%) when treated by thermal preparation compare to soaking seeds in water for a day and it was also observed the accelerating seed germination in the stratification with sand. Sowing seeds with treated solution (concentrated sulfuric acid) and stratification of seeds with sand were found to be able to grow faster, increase the number of foliage, relatively spreading of the root system and ready for field planting in the field conditions KEYWORDS: seedlings, seed, substrate, biohumus, stratification laboratory, Hypericum perforatum.
