ABSTRACT


Studies carried out in 2006–2009 dealt with the evaluation of primary metabolites content in winter cultivated garlic leaves (local ecotype "R") depending on reproductive material used (cloves and air bulbils) as well as cultivation locality (high unheated foil tunnel, field). The content of dry matter, (13.08–17.76%), total sugars (4.56–6.60%), L-ascorbic acid (16.21–19.66 mg·100 g-1), chlorophyll (1.012–1.601 mg·kg-1) and crude fiber (1.35–2.18%) in leaves was determined.

Key words: garlic, Allium sativum, growing method, primary metabolites content in the leaves.
