[Comparative assessment of the phytoncidity of woody plants in the selection of species for landscaping: the possibility of use in sanatorium-and-spa practice].

The Purpose Of This Study: Is a comparative assessment of the phytoncidity of woody plants of different botanical families and genera and the selection of taxa with a pronounced, long-term, and universal antimicrobial effect for use in greening and landscape construction in sanatorium-resort practice.

Material And Methods: The objects of research were 167 species, hybrids, and intraspecific forms of woody plants from 25 botanical families and 16 genera. Evaluation of phytoncidity was carried out using the method of treating streak inoculation of microbial test cultures with volatile emissions of leaves; gram-positive bacteria (ATCC 25923), gram-negative bacteria (ATCC 25922) and yeast-like fungi (ATCC 10231).
