Abstract

It is expedient to create plantations of prickly comfrey of multipurpose use (forage, medicinal harvest) in the mountain zone of central North Caucasus. An agrocoenosis of this plant on typical mountain soils is characterized by high aftergrowth, stable productivity, self-renewal, and early spring regrowth. Uniform illumination of the herbage makes it possible to include prickly comfrey in a mixture with other forage grasses.
