Skin disorders are common and often chronic conditions with significant therapeutic challenges. Limitations of conventional treatments, such as adverse effects and antimicrobial resistance, have increased interest in plant-based alternatives. This article presents the phytochemical composition and pharmacological potential of several medicinal plants traditionally used in the treatment of skin diseases, including Rubus vulgaris, Plantago major, Artemisia terrae-albae, and Eryngium planum. Based on an analysis of scientific literature, the presence of bioactive compounds—including flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenolic acids, tannins, and sesquiterpenes—is summarized, along with their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Emphasis is placed on the correlation between traditional ethnomedicinal applications and pharmacological mechanisms. The findings support the potential of these species as sources for dermatological phytotherapeutics. Further research is needed to standardize active constituents, assess safety, and conduct clinical validation.

In the conditions of southeastern Kazakhstan, which is characterized by an arid climate and the need for irrigation, the use of organic biologically active preparations in horticulture represents a promising direction. This article presents the results of a study on the effects of the preparations Agroflorin, Al Karal, and Biosok Energy Plus on the biometric indicators of the Golden Delicious apple variety. Special attention is paid to the development of shoot length, branch diameter, leaf surface area, and other morphological traits of the plants. The scientific novelty of this research lies in the development of a technology for the application of organic fertilizers and biopreparations that enhance the activity of soil microorganisms. These microorganisms regulate biological processes in the soil and improve the nutrient uptake of plant root systems. Experimental studies conducted under the conditions of irrigated light chestnut soils of southeastern Kazakhstan revealed that organic fertilizers and biopreparations, particularly "BioSok Energy Plus", Agroflorin, and Alkaral, stimulate the vital activity of beneficial soil microorganisms and improve plant nutrition. Soil microorganisms play a key role in mineralizing organic substances and synthesizing their cellular proteins by utilizing carbon and nitrogen. Microbial groups such as actinomycetes, mold fungi, and bacteria contribute to the replenishment of nitrogen in the soil by decomposing organic matter. As a nitrogen source, they primarily require easily soluble nitrogen compounds, which are provided through the application of organic fertilizers and biopreparations. The study established a positive effect of organic fertilizers, particularly BioSok Energy Plus and Agroflorin, on the population of ammonifying bacteria, pseudomonads, amylolytic bacteria, and micromycete flora in apple orchard soils. This, in turn, enhances the nutrition of the root system and improves the overall physiological condition of apple trees.

The article examines the impact of zeolite application, mineral fertilizers, and their combination on the water-physical properties and fertility of dark chestnut soils in southeastern Kazakhstan under table beet cultivation. Field experiments have shown that the use of zeolite improves soil water permeability and porosity, promotes moisture and nutrient retention, and reduces leaching losses. The total soil porosity in the control variant was 59.7% in the 0–20 cm layer, while with the application of zeolite, this figure increased to 63.2%. It was determined that the application of zeolite together with mineral fertilizers (N₄₅P₄₅K₄₅) over two years contributes to maintaining humus content and increases the levels of available forms of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil, positively influencing the growth and yield of the Kyzylkonyr table beet variety, which yielded 42.3 t/ha in the control. The highest yield of beet roots—62.7 t/ha—was obtained with the application of a double dose of complete mineral fertilizer and 2 tons of zeolite. A high yield of 52.3 t/ha was also achieved with fertilizers and 2 tons of zeolite, resulting in a yield increase of 16.5 t/ha. The results of the study confirm the potential of using zeolites to enhance fertilizer efficiency and improve the ecological condition of soils
