STUDY OF VEGETATIVE PERIOD OF LEMON PLANTS GROWN IN GREENHOUSES ON GREY SOIL
Keywords:
lemon, organo-mineral fertilizer, vegetation, yield, meyer.Abstract
This study investigated the effect of organo-mineral fertilization on the growth and development of lemon (Citrus limon) plants during the vegetation period under protected (greenhouse) conditions. The experiments were conducted in the Fergana region under greenhouse condition using ‘Meyer’ variety. The results showed that organo-mineral fertilizers increased fruit weight and sugar content and accelerated vegetative development. Optimal doses of 10–15 t/ha were recommended. These fertilizers are considered economically and environmentally efficient. The findings provide practical recommendations for improving lemon cultivation technology.
