Monitoring of 22 populations of Leucojum aestivum L. (Amaryllidaceae) was performed in the period 2001-2004. Analysis of management practices and resource assessment of 16 economically significant localities were made in 2003 and 2004. Population density varied from 7.38±4.10 to 46.37±2.67 ind/m2. Exploitation reserves (from 483 to 52 903 kg) and possible annual harvest were estimated by means of model individuals. Comparison between populations of fresh-mass productivity of individual (7.47±0.40 – 25.43±2.08 g) and galanthamine content (0.9 – 2.6 mg/g average) showed great variability.
