Background. Seed productivity is one of the important indicators of species adaptation in various natural conditions. Data on the seed productivity of Aegopodium podagraria is fragmentary and contradictory. The aim of the work is to study the characteristics of seed setting and seed productivity of A. podagraria in the Moscow region.
Materials and methods. Observations were carried out under natural conditions of the Moscow region from 2015 to 2018 according to generally accepted methods for studying seed propagation of plants.
Results. A. podagraria belongs to plants with facultative xenogamy and is characterized by a rather high potential and real seed productivity. The formation of fruits during free pollination in A. podagraria occurs in a sequence according to the order of flowering of double umbels as part of a synflorescence, and therefore the ripening and shedding of fruits are stretched in time.
Conclusions. The strict sequence of flowering of flowers in simple and double umbels within the synflorescence, a certain system of crossing, the presence of staminate flowers provide mostly xenogamous setting of seeds in A. podagraria.
