Summary: The experiment on the topic: "Seed productivity of lemon monarda (Monarda citroidora L.) in the conditions of the Middle Urals" was conducted at the collection site of medicinal plants of the Ural State Agrarian University, which is located in the Beloyarsky district of the Sverdlovsk region. The seedling method of cultivation was used. The scheme of the experiment includes 3 variants that differ in varieties of lemon monarda: 1. option-Lemon flavor; 2 optionBergamot flavor; 3 option-Mona Lisa. The area of the plots is 3 m2 (3 m * 1 m), the repetition is three times. Wide-row planting, row spacing-50 cm, row spacing-20 cm, planting density-8 plants / m2, or 80,000 plants per 1 ha. The aim of the study: to study the seed productivity of lemon monarda (Monarda citroidora L.)in the conditions of the Middle Urals." Seed productivity was determined on September 25, when the plants finished the growing season. Results of the study: in the phytocenoses of the studied varieties, generative shoots with 4 inflorescences dominated, shoots with 6-7 inflorescences were extremely rare. All biometric indicators of seeds are closely related to the location of inflorescences on the generative shoot. For the upper inflorescences, the lowest coefficient of seed productivity is characteristic, it ranged from 8.6% - the Taste of Bergamot variety, to 12.6 % - the Mona Lisa variety. In all the studied varieties, a general pattern was revealed - the seeds have the best characteristics in the lower inflorescences.
Key words: Lemon monarda varieties: Lemon aroma, bergamot taste, Mona Lisa, seed productivity
