Abstract

This article examines the cultivation technology of mint (Mentha L.) under the soil and climatic conditions of southern Uzbekistan, particularly the Surkhandarya region, and investigates ways to increase its green biomass and seed productivity. The study analyzes the effects of agrotechnical measures, irrigation regimes, and fertilizer application rates adapted to the hot and arid climate of the southern region on mint vegetation. In addition, scientifically based recommendations are provided regarding the optimal timing and methods for obtaining high-quality green biomass and seeds for the production of essential oils and medicinal raw materials.
