Statistical theory of non-Markovian effects in turbulent transport is applied to the description of plasma turbulence in a magnetoactive plasma in the drift-kinetic approximation. Renormalized transition probability is calculated with regard to non-Markovian effects and equations for the relevant kinetic coefficients are derived. It is shown that memory effects can be important for the description of transport under saturated turbulence.

Key words: plasma turbulence, drift-kinetic approximation, non-Markovian effects
