Leafy crop

Green crops are a vital component of the diet, providing the body with the necessary vitamins, enzymes, and mineral salts to support metabolic processes. For agronomists and private plot owners, growing these products in a protected environment offers opportunities for early harvest and ensuring stable vegetable quality. Proper organization of agricultural practices, from the preparation of planting material to the regulation of the microclimate in hotbeds, allows not only for increased productivity but also for effective control over nitrate accumulation in the final product.

This collection contains practical recommendations for forcing onions, parsley, celery, and sorrel, as well as methods for growing lettuce and melons. Readers will find expert advice on formulating soil mixtures, organizing irrigation, and top dressing regimens. Special attention is paid to plant protection: materials on the diagnosis of diseases, such as clubroot of brassicas, and methods of controlling pathogens in greenhouses are presented. In addition, the collection covers issues of optimizing mineral nutrition, liming of soils, and the application of micro-fertilizers, which is necessary to create conditions for the intensive growth of vegetable crops.
