Technology of Maintaining the Medicinal Properties of Peaches through Organic Production and Increase Valuable Economic Characteristics

Abstract

In order to ensure that the quality and safety indicators of agricultural products in our republic comply with international standards, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted the decision No. 729 dated 18.11.2020 "On approval of certain legal documents on the safety of organic products and raw materials and organic-mineral fertilizers". Accordingly, growing organic clean fruits and vegetables is now urgent. Also, ensuring food safety in maintaining a healthy lifestyle today depends to some extent on the composition of fruits and vegetables. It is known that the amount of nitrates in fruits and vegetables increases above the allowed rate due to the excessive use of mineral fertilizers to increase the yield of agricultural products (1). For this reason, with the help of the methods recommended by the scientific research institute of horticulture, viticulture and winemaking of Uzbekistan, using green fertilizers (siderate) was carried out in a way that would provide a moderate amount of nitrate in the fruit and vegetable composition. According to the data obtained in the study, the amount of nitrate in the fruit fed with mineral fertilizer was 80.8 mg/kg (the norm is 60 mg/kg), and in the biological fertilizer option, this indicator was 50.9 mg/kg. As a result, while the nitrate content of the fruit is in moderation, mineral and organic contamination of the soil, which is currently relevant, is prevented (2). In conclusion, it should be said that the use of biological (siderate) fertilizers, which are an alternative to mineral fertilizers, is acceptable in all respects for the prevention of nitrate poisoning.
