چکیده

The medicinal plant Prangos ferulaceae is considered one of the most valuable forage, protective, medicinal, and industrial plants in Iran. A significant part of plant species, including Prangos ferulaceae in Kohgiluyeh & Boyar-Ahmad province, have been exposed to damage and extinction for various reasons in recent years. In order to preserve it, some measures such as planting the species in fields or creating a pilot for preservation, its maintenance, propagation, and breeding are an urgent and necessary requirement. But its realization requires ecological studies and knowledge, such as identifying the potential of areas prone to optimal production of Prangos ferulaceae, which requires the location measurement of Prangos ferulaceae planting. According to climate zoning using factor-cluster analysis, this plant can be in the first zone (cold mountainous with heavy rainfall, including Yasouj and Sisakht stations as well as the Tang Khoshk region), the fourth zone (cold and semi-rainy, including the northern areas of Dena city and Pataweh station) should be planted and cultivated, but this plant cannot be planted in the eighth region (semi-warm and semi-arid north), including Dishmuk, Qale Raisi, and Charrosa. Also, this plant can be cultivated in the third region (central semi-arid and semi-temperate) includes Kabkian, Lodab, central Dehdasht, and Souq, and the sixth region (temperate semi-arid), which includes Margun. In the fifth area (very hot and humid tropical), including Babakallan and Bibi Hakimeh stations, and in the seventh area (hot and dry), including Likak, Mombi, and Sar Asiab Yousefi, the Prangos ferulaceae plant cannot be cultivated either.
