Preparation. It is advisable to collect inflorescences at the beginning of flowering, before the side baskets open. With more late collection As a result of the opening of the baskets during drying, the flowers fall off greatly, and the raw material contains a large number of bare axes of inflorescences with wrappers. Inflorescences along with peduncles up to 1 cm long are cut with scissors or a knife.
Security measures. In the same area, inflorescences can be collected up to 3-4 times as the plants begin to bloom. Re-collection – after 5-7 days. You cannot tear off inflorescences from stems or pull out plants with roots. It is advisable to carry out repeated harvesting on specific areas after 1-2 years, in which case it is necessary to leave 1-2 per 1 m2 flowering plants to ensure seed regeneration.
Sandy immortelle is widely cultivated in specialized farms. Harvesting of inflorescences is mechanized.
Drying. In cool rooms with good ventilation, the raw materials are laid out in a layer of 2-3 cm on paper or fabric; stirring is not allowed. It is not recommended to dry raw materials in warm rooms and in the attics iron roof, since this leads to a large number scree. Dryers can be used to dry at temperatures not exceeding 40 ºС.
Standardization. GF XI, issue. 2, art. 9, Changes No. 1, 2.
