Abstract

The article emphasizes that the cultivation of medicinal raw materials in Ukraine has a fairly significant socio-economic significance in the context of the balanced development of various sectors of the economy and, above all, agricultural crop production, as well as improving the livelihoods of the rural population. The study of agroecological, economic and technological features of the use of plant protection products against pests and diseases when growing medicinal crops in rural residential areas was carried out from the perspective of the need to increase the production of environmentally friendly medicinal plant raw materials. The aim of the article is to reveal the content of agroecological, organizational, technological and economic features of the use of chemical and biological plant protection products against pests and diseases when growing medicinal crops in rural residential areas using the example of specific private farms. The research methodology is based on a systematic and comprehensive approach (in particular, based on a questionnaire) to revealing the content of agroecological, organizational-technological and economic features of the use of chemical and biological preparations for plant protection from pests and diseases when growing medicinal plants on the example of private farms in the Lubny district of Poltava region. A certain emphasis is placed on the ecological and economic features of the use of fertilizers. The monitoring analysis of the use of mineral and organic fertilizers showed that the studied farms that grow medicinal crops on a permanent basis use mineral fertilizers in the vast majority. The content of agroecological, organizational-technological and economic features of the protection of medicinal plants from pests and diseases based on the use of chemical and biological preparations, including folk methods of control, is revealed. The need for environmental control over the application of fertilizers and plant protection products, as well as the development of a mechanism of social responsibility for the environmental and economic risks of chemicalization of medicinal plant cultivation in the context of ensuring the required quality of plant raw materials, as well as environmental protection, is outlined.
