Medicinal vegetal products of Echinacea radix (roots) or Echinacea herba (aerial part) are included among the products with an imunistimulatory action, and depending on the active principles they belong to the products with fenil-propionic compounds and imunomodulatory polizaharides.
The experience took place during 2004 and 2005, and as followed he fenology of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench with different origin received from several areas from Europe (8) and a population from Cluj, plants bred by seedlings.
Among the species taken into study, in the experimental years studied, Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench, in climatic conditions from Cluj - Napoca, the latest proved to be: Porrentry-Switzerland and Population of Cluj-România, representing value for precocity growing in breeding programs.
Aerial parts had a major contribution to the total plants weight. It was noticed that, in each years studied, the species from Varşovia-Poland, Műnchen-Germany, Siena- Italy and Jena-Germany.
Among the studied species, in the two years of the experience, there weren`t any major differences concerning the content of fenil-propionic and imunostimulatory polizaharides.
