Research regarding the reproduction and cultivation of Herniaria glabra L. (in French)

A spontaneous population of Herniaria glabra L. collected in Valea Ierii (Distr. Cluj) was introduced in cultivation as a medicinal plant used in uro-genital diseases. The experiment was performed in the field of Agronomy Institute Cluj-Napoca. After an unsuccesfull attempt of cultivation by sowing, the plants established were used for vegetative propagation (remats in different ways). Using these remats an experimental culture was started in 1982. The developement of individual plants and the accumulation of active substances in the cloned material is discussed.
