because it is perennial, mostly permanent locations are selected. It is not recommended to plan its placement in alternating planting fields. Because it can bear fruit in one place for 20–25 years.
In the fall of the lands planted with medicinal lavender plant Ga-account 15-20 tons of organic fertilizers and 30-40 kg of mineral fertilizers (superphosphate) are added. The soil is plowed to a depth of 25–28 cm. Propagation of the plant from seed is the most effective method. Its optimal sowing time is the first decade of November.The seeds are sown deeper (2-3 cm). If the seeds spring If it is necessary to sow in a month, then soak them in running water It is better to sow. Before planting, the soil is cleared of weed debris, plowed and leveled with a rake. When the air temperature reaches 10-15 C, a 70 cm furrow is taken and the seeds are sown. The soil composition is kept moist (70%) until the seeds sown in early spring germinate. Up to 4-6 kg of seeds are consumed per hectare. The seeds germinate in 7-10 days. Chin leaves appear after 10–15 days. When their number reaches 2-3 (about 15-20 days) then the plant spacing is softened by cultivation and cleared of weeds. Intermittent vegetation with the appearance of folds in the planted areas as a result of rainfall in the spring months softened and at the same time single, leaving 2-3 plants 25-30 cm long in each bush.
