| Summary: | Background. Studying the possibilities of jojoba cultivation for the development of the Kara-Kum Desert, improvement of the feeding reserves in pastures, quick sand fixation, and production of bioactive compounds for the medical and cosmetic industries is a vital problem.Results and conclusion. Biotechnological features, origin and distribution of the crop, the properties and structure of oil from jojoba fruits are described. Empirical dependences have been found under the conditions of a solar hothouse from the produced equations of thermal and material balances in temperature, humidity, and evaporation from a water or soil surface in 10-days periods within a year. On the basis of experimental data and calculation results, is may be ascertained that it is possible to cultivate jojoba in the environments of an arid ecosystem in Turkmenistan. The introduction of this new valuable crop is very important to the national economy, and may help to develop deserts, expand the feeding reserves for animals, and produce useful raw materials for many industries. |
