Abstract
Vegetable growing is one of the leading industries in the economy of Lankaran region. In the 1970s and 1980s, more than 220,000 tons of vegetable products were produced in the region. After the land reform, vegetable growing declined in the region and is now experiencing a new period of revival. In recent years, the state support provided to product producers in our country has created wide opportunities for the development of vegetable growing in Lankaran, as well as other areas of the agrarian division. Large state programs and scientific-research works have been carried out for the development of vegetable growing, mainly farash vegetable growing in the region.
The tomato plant is of special importance in the country's agriculture due to its cultivated area and production volume. The best predecessor plants for the tomato plant are cucumbers, melons, onions, cabbage, legumes. In the vegetable growing regions of the republic, seedlings are grown mainly in greenhouses and polythene-covered greenhouses for 35-40 days. Depending on the climatic conditions of the regions, the seedlings ready for planting are planted in the open field according to the scheme of 70x35-40 cm until the first ten days of May.
For the Guba-Khachmaz zone of the tomato plant, 1-5 III of the sowing time, 25 IV of the planting time; 5 V, 20-25II, 5-10 IV for the Lankaran-Astara zone, 20.III-1.IV, 1-10.V for the Absheron zone. In the spring, on the eve of planting, it is appropriate to apply II at a depth of 20-25 cm Plowing and harrowing should be done. During harrowing, superphosphate, potassium-sulfate and ammonium sora should be given 1 cent each per hectare. The tomato plant is very demanding on mineral nutrition.
Every innovation applied in the agricultural field increases productivity, income and, as a result, ensures faster development of this field. In recent years, a number of innovative methods and techniques have been used in the agriculture of Azerbaijan. Use of drones in agriculture, smart garden, modern planting methods, organization of modern biological control against pests, cultivation of virus-free seeds and seedlings in biotechnology laboratories, determination of the coordinates of agricultural fields and which crops to plant in the field through satellites, etc. can be attributed to it
The goal set within the long-term vision for the period up to 2025 is to completely modernize the agricultural sector and strengthen its competitiveness. This includes increasing the production volume of crops, production of high-value crops and increasing the processing of agricultural products. At the same time, it will be ensured that the agricultural products processing enterprises will play a more important role in the value chain within the measures taken in the direction of increasing the production of crop products. Priority crops will be exported to local and foreign markets as higher value products through processing facilities located close to major trade routes and transport hubs.
The continuation of the State program in the development of vegetable farming should be continued. Increasing attention to this field and meeting the domestic demand of the country is one of the important issues.
