Biodinaminių preparatų įtaka dižiojo moliūgo (Cucurbita maxima D.) vaisių kokybei

Abstract

The biodynamic farming in Lithuania is still quite a new food commodity production method. Natural means of maintaining and enhancing soil fertility, biological activity, maintained biological diversity. The idea is to encourage farmers to grow and to offer consumers less common, but the nutritional aspect of useful vegetables. One of these is squash. It is tasty and useful vegetable has of biologically active substances, characterized by dietetic properties. Savored not only this plant fruit pulp, but also seeds and flowers. The experiment was carried out in 2015 in organic farm. The research objects was three Great pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima D.) varieties 'Solor', 'Blue ballet' and 'Blu cury', using biodynamic preparations. In the pumpkin pulp determined: dry matter, crude protein and crude ash content. It was found that most of the dry matter is in a 'Blue Ballet', pumpkin flesh (23.6 %). The quantity of crude protein was essentially the largest in the 'Blu cury' pumpkin fruits (13.1 %), and crude ash in 'Solor' (12.0 %). The biodynamic preparations had a positive impact of dry matter and crude protein in the flow of pumpkin flesh.
