Vegetable growing is one of the most important and, at the same time, the most complex plant growing branches of agriculture in Ukraine. Firstly, this is due to the value and irreplaceability of vegetable products for human nutrition, which determines the spread of vegetable crops in all regions of the country and the allocation of large areas of agricultural land for their cultivation. On the other hand, a feature of the industry is low transportability and high labor intensity of vegetable production, a large set of cultivated vegetable crops and the mechanization of individual production processes of their cultivation, in particular harvesting, is complicated. Therefore, it is very important to expand better than the cultivation of new vegetable crops, the cultivation areas of which are currently relatively small. One of these crops is Brussels sprouts, which is characterized by excellent nutritional and medicinal properties, but whose cultivation areas are insignificant, due to insufficient study of the characteristics of crop cultivation. Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. Gemmifera) - vegetable crop. Traditionally regarded as a variety of the species Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) of the genus Cabbage (Brassica) of the Cabbage family (Brassicaceae), some modern sources do not consider Brussels sprouts as an independent species, but consider it a group of varieties of the species Brassica oleracea L., with this approach, the correct name of this group considered Brassica oleracea Gemmifera Group.

To reduce nitrogen (N) losses from vegetable fields, fertilizer recommendations should be adjusted according to the large range in yield and thus in N uptake of vegetable crops. Therefore, a model was used to predict total N uptake based on expected yield. The model has been validated successfully in a series of studies for Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. var. gemmifera), white cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) and kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea L. var. gongylodes). The objective of this study was to validate the model for table beet (Beta vulgaris L. var. conditiva), a crop with a considerable variability in N uptake, which is caused by a large potential range of selecting sowing dates, plant densities and cultivars. Field experiments were carried out over two years. Fifty-five combinations of N fertilizer levels, plant densities, cultivars and sowing dates were tested. Plants were sampled at 2- or 3-week intervals, and fresh matter, dry matter and N content of leaves and roots were measured. Crop specific model parameters for table beets were determined from independent data. The model wverestimated N uptake for N-limiting conditions, but for optimally fertilized table beets measured and estimated N uptake showed a close correlation (R2 = 0.93) when total yield was used as an input parameter for the model. Although the error of estimation (35 kg·ha-1) was considerable, studies with other vegetable crops using the model found the error even higher if other tools, such as look-up tables, were used for predicting N uptake.

Practical Recommendations

The aim of the study is to develop theoretical provisions and practical recommendations for solving the problem of food security in the production and consumption of vegetable products. During the research, the following methods were used: statistical-economic, monographic, economic-mathematical, computational-constructive. The article considers the problem of providing the Russian population with vegetable products, especially during the off-season. The actual consumption of vegetables is 112 kg per capita per year with a rational diet of 140 kg. In the food basket of Russians, imported vegetable products occupy a significant share. Analysis of the state and trends of development of vegetable growing in the open and sheltered ground is given. For 2000-2016, the gross harvest of vegetables increased from 10.8 to 16.3 mln. tons because of higher yields while decreasing the area of vegetable crops. In vegetable production structure, production of sheltered ground occupies 9.6%. The households of the population are the main producers of vegetables. They accounted for 66.5% of the gross harvest of vegetables. The volume of vegetable production and the main directions of its increase are justified. To ensure food security, it is necessary to increase the production of vegetables and food melon crops from 18.1 to 22.5 mln. tons, including vegetables from 16.3 to 20.3 mln. tons, food melon crops – 1.8 to 2.2 mln. tons. The increase in production of vegetable products will be facilitated by improvement of state support for vegetable growing and its increase in size, its concentration in specialized farms, intensification of the industry, the revival of Russian seed production of vegetable crops, construction of modern energy-saving greenhouses and modernization of the old ones, development of agro-industrial integration.

Successful Production

Brassicas form the most important group of vegetable crops in Montenegro. The cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is most commonly grown, although other brassicas, particularly kale, Brussels sprout, cauliflower and broccoli, have been increasingly produced since recently. One of the specialties of vegetable production in Montenegro is growing of collard (Brassica oleracea var. acephala), which is the simplest variety of the Brassica oleracea species and in the nearest relation with their wild ancestor - the sylvestris variety. Diseases are the main restrictive factors for successful production of these vegetables. Susceptibility of the cultivars and inadequate control often result in more or less damaged crops in some plots. Causal agents of brassica diseases, especially bacterial, have not been investigated in Montenegro until 2009. Since the symptoms observed in 2009 were ?V? shaped leaf edge necrosis and black rot of vascular tissue, it was assumed that they were caused by plant pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. Samples of the infected plants were collected from different localities in Montenegro. Isolation and identification of the bacterium were performed using laboratory methods according to Schaad (1980), Lelliott and Stead (1987) and Arsenijevic (1997). Examination of chosen bacterial isolates was conducted using both, classical bacteriological methods (examination of their pathogenic, morphological, cultivation and biochemical and physiological characteristics), and ELISA test. The obtained results confirmed the presence of X.campestris pv. campestris (Pammel, 1895) Dowson 1939, on cabbage, kale, broccoli and collard in Montenegro. This is the first experimental evidence that collard is the host of X. campestris pv. campestris in Montenegro.

The effects on succeeding crops of nitrogen in residues returned to the soil of brassica vegetable crops (Brassica oleracea) were studied on a nitrogen-retentive silt loam soil at Horticulture Research International, Kirton, Lincolnshire, UK. A sequence of four crops was started in 1988 and again in 1989. In the first sequence, two successive cauliflower crops (Brassica oleracea cv. botrytis L.), crops 1 and 2 in the first year, were followed by Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea cv. Gemmifera D.C.), crop 3, in the second and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare), crop 4, in the third year. The second sequence, started in spring 1989, was on an area adjacent to the first, but with spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) as crop 4. The sites followed an unfertilized, 1-year grass ley (1987) or spring barley (1988) with 73 and 107 kg N/ha soil mineral nitrogen (SMN, NH4+NO3) in the 0–90 cm soil profile at the start of each sequence. The marketable yield of the first cauliflowers in both sequences increased with fertilizer nitrogen up to 240 or 300 kg/ha. The response of the second cauliflower crop to fresh N declined with increasing amounts of SMN (0–90 cm) at planting, with no response when SMN exceeded c. 270 kg N/ha. Crop 3 apparently responded to fresh N in sequence 1 but not in sequence 2 even though SMN at planting ranged up to c. 400 kg N/ha. This difference in response was largely explained by the amount and distribution of SMN in the 0–30 and 30–60 cm layers when the sprouts were planted. Soil mineral N to 90 cm when the cereals were sown was only c. 100 kg N/ha, which did not reflect the large amounts of N applied to the previous crops. In spite of this, barley yield without any fresh fertilizer N did vary with the amounts of N applied to the previous crops. The results showed that SMN was a useful predictor of fertilizer response in some, but not all, situations. To use SMN more generally requires interpretation using dynamic simulation models.

Intensive vegetable production in southern Australia is characterised by high inputs of nitrogen (N) fertiliser, water, and occasionally animal manures, which creates the potential for high nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Three field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of the nitrification inhibitors 3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), 3-methyl pyrazole plus 1H-1,2,4 triazole (3MP+TZ), and dicyandiamide (DCD) on N2O emissions and yields in broccoli (Brassica oleracea), lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) crops in southern Australia. The inhibitor treatments on fertilisers and poultry manure were compared with standard commercial practice for vegetable crops in this region, and N2O emissions were measured using manual chambers through to harvest. Daily fluxes ranged from 0.81gN2O-Nha–1day–1 for untreated soil to 11.65gN2O-Nha–1day–1 for manure treated soil. Extrapolation of these results translate to annual emissions of 0.30kgN2O-Nha–1year–1 to 4.24kgN2O-Nha–1year–1, respectively. Cumulative soil N2O fluxes from the manure treatments were ~4-fold greater than the standard inorganic fertiliser program for a given crop. Nitrous oxide direct emission factors were in the range 0.02–0.16% for inorganic fertilisers and from 0.19% to 0.43% for poultry manure. The greatest decrease in N2O emissions occurred when DMPP or a combination of 3MP+TZ were added to poultry manure (62% and 66% decrease, respectively). Decreases in N2O emissions from nitrification inhibitors were smaller and less consistent when used with inorganic fertilisers, but DMPP decreased emissions in two out of three trials, with a maximum decrease of 32% observed in the broccoli trial. DCD proved ineffective for mitigating N2O emissions in all trials.

Over the past 50–60 years, the proportion of vegetable crops in the diet of people has increased, and an increase in demand has led to an increase in production. Thus, China accounts for 31% of the 170 million tons of tomatoes produced in the world, 11.2% in India, 8.8% in the USA and 6.9% in Turkey. In Azerbaijan, this figure is 465 thousand tons. The widespread use and use of fertilizers and other pesticides in vegetable production poses a serious threat to human health and the environment. Research shows that the quality indicators of vegetable products often do not meet international standards and medical norms . One of the main reasons for this is the excess of nitrates in the product. Overusing of nitrogen fertilizers, as well as pollution of ground and surface water sources, atmospheric nitrogen compounds, also accumulates large amounts of nitrate in fruit and vegetable and feed crops (and therefore dairy products). Nitrate (NO3) is one of the most common compounds in nitrogen in nature. They are always present in the soil and play an important role in plant nutrition. Part of the nitrogen and other fertilizers supplied to the soil is washed with rain and irrigation water and accumulated in ponds and water sources, mixed with river salts and poured into the sea. On average, 200,000 people die each year from the effects of these poisons on the human body. Thus, the growth of fatal diseases and environmental pollution has led to an increase in the number of countries that are currently engaged in environmentally friendly (organic) production (181 countries). The natural conditions of Azerbaijan provide great opportunities for expanding the production of vegetables in the country. However, given the viability and historical importance of the transition to organic vegetable growing in the country, the solution to this problem depends on the state approach.

The Impact

Every year, the consumption of vegetables grown on the territory of our country increases, which became possible not only in the summer, when mass cultivation begins in the open ground, but also in winter, due to the functioning of a large number of greenhouse complexes. Greenhouse vegetable growing is a priority in the development of the agro-industrial sector of the state. On the territory of the country, greenhouses exist for a fairly long period. Modern greenhouse complexes differ both in the way of growing vegetable products and in the working conditions of employees. Working in greenhouses that use soil is associated with physical stress, in contrast to modern complexes, where the work on watering plants is automated, and plant care has new means of mechanization. Hygienic assessment and comparative characteristics of the working conditions of greenhouse workers were carried out when performing work during the annual cycle of growing vegetable products. The effect of physical factors and the severity of the labor process was evaluated. The results of the study showed that the work of vegetable growers working at enterprises with different technologies of crop cultivation differs both in the impact of physical factors and in the class of labor severity. Modern greenhouse complexes are able to create favorable climatic conditions for personnel, thanks to an automated microclimate management system. With the mechanization of the labour process, working conditions talionic improved with class 3.2 (harmful heavy labor 2-degree) to class 3.1 (harmful hard work of 1 degree). Comparative characteristics of the working conditions of greenhouses, allowed us to talk about the introduction of new technologies in the process of growing vegetables, as an event that contributes not only to improving the productivity of vegetable crops, but also a preventive measure that improves the working conditions of vegetable growers.
