Seabuckthorn in Mongolia

Seabuckthorn (Hipphophae rhamnoides L.) is very much populity berry among the ancient and modern Mongolia. Because seabuckthorn successful growing in the difficult acclimatization condition on the wild and culture. In Mongolia strong effect of spring and autumn frozen on all fruit and berry plants.

Especially in mid May, when flowering seabuckthorn, in Mongolia generally frozen happening. But it is successful overcome this difficult period for all flowering plants.

In autumn, that is, in end august, when often frozening , time is ripeness for it’s berry. This period is maximal carotin accumulation of fruit. In further carotin accumulation decreased in fruit, but others substance increased.

On of astonishment on seabuckthorn is it patience –300 and more minus degree cold weather in nature and it not lose its high-quality.

In end 1990 years in Mongolia considered about 10.0 thousand hectare seabuckthorn wild grove, along river basin Orkhon, Selenge, Tes, Zavkhan, Khovd and other rivers. To be organized about 500 hectare plantation from Russia and Mongolia national variety kinds of Seabuckthorn. In our country from Seabuckthorn fruit prepared oil, vitamin-juice, different drink, wine and pharmaceutics preparations.

But in the last time from 1992 to 2001, majority this plantation abandoned no departure.

Large negative influence is on the nature grove seabuckthorn.

In present situation is many problems for seabuckthorn in Mongolia. I like my supply and demand in quality programmed review for study and process of production to Mongolian seabuckthorn.

• In first time it is necessary determine and specify distribution area and biological fruit resources and theirs national use and determine methods for environment and recultivation on nature grove.
• In second time it is organize genefound collection in Horticulture and Biotechnology materials for the future selection research works.
• Restoration old fruit garden, garden plot and organize new garden.
• Expansion research works to seabuckthorn variety release and growth form.
• Treatment to technology harvesting and seabuckthorn garden production the whole.
• Treatment methods to agronomical and irrigation
• The study and treatment to technology for pharmaceutics, cosmetics, nourishment for humanity and fodder for animals
• Creation international assistance co-operation to organize seabuckthorn expedition and plantation and for treatment to technology harvesting and national use production and others.
