PROSPECTS FOR THE ECOLOGICAL AND AGRONOMIC EVALUATION OF THE USE OF HUMIC PREPARATIONS AND MUSHROOM PRODUCTION WASTE IN CUCUMBER SEEDLING CULTIVATION

Abstract

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of the most widely cultivated vegetable crops, beneficial for human health, rich in vitamins, and of high nutritional value. Year-round cultivation in greenhouses plays an important role in meeting the nutritional needs of the population. At the same time, one of the most crucial factors for obtaining high yields in greenhouse farming is improving seedling quality and shortening the growing period. Therefore, the use of new, environmentally friendly components and growth stimulants in cucumber seedling cultivation is one of the pressing areas of scientific research.
