Effect of planting time and seedling feeding area on changes in the number and area of leek leaves

Abstract

in the article, the results of the research carried out in order to study the influence of planting time and feeding area on the change in the number and area of leek leaves are presented with a deep scientific analysis. Planting was done by hand in 4x1 cm rows in 7x40x60 cm boxes in the greenhouse on February 20, March 10, and April 1. Seedlings appeared after 10-12 days, on May 1 they were transplanted to open field. This ensured that the seedlings were 70, 50, and 30 days old. Planting in open field was carried out in a scheme of 50x10 cm. Harvesting took place on September 1-5. Morpho-biometric indicators include determining the main quality indicators of seedlings before planting in open field: the number and surface of leaves. In each replicate, 10 of the most typical continuously recorded plants were identified, excluding plants from the soil. Data analysis at the end of the research shows that plants with higher seedling nutrition had better morphometric parameters. This is explained by the fact that the plants already have good performance during the seedling period and are of higher quality than the smallest area for seedling production.
