SEASONAL DYNAMICS OF AMARANTHACEAE (AMARANTHUS AND CHENOPODIUM) POLLEN IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF ANDIJAN AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS
The seasonal dynamics of Amaranthaceae (Amaranthus and Chenopodium) pollen in the atmospheric air of Andijan were
investigated during the spring, summer, and autumn seasons of 2025. Aerobiological monitoring was carried out using the
volumetric method. The total pollen concentration reached 71.315 grains/m³, with the highest values recorded in August–
September. Spearman correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant negative relationship (p < 0.05) between pollen
concentration and relative humidity as well as precipitation, whereas no significant relationship was found with temperature and
wind speed. The obtained results indicate that humidity and precipitation act as limiting factors in the dispersion of
Amaranthaceae (Amaranthus and Chenopodium) pollen.
