Influence of Planting Period on the Biochemical Composition of Leaf Turnip

Abstract

The biochemical composition of turnip leaves was studied for the first time in the conditions of Uzbekistan in different seasons and planting periods. Studies have shown that the content of dry matter, sugar, and vitamin C in the leaves of these crops is more than that of common vegetables, and they can become one of the main sources of dry matter, sugar, and vitamin C. In the fourth-sixth period, the reduction of leaf size, number of leaves per plant, the weight of one plant, and finally, productivity, led to a decrease in the biochemical composition of leaves.
