ESTIMATION OF THE BIOLOGICAL VALUE OF WINTER GARLIC LEAVES FROM EARLY CULTIVATION ON BUNCH CROP PART I. PLANTS GROWN FROM CLOVE PLANTING

Jan Dyduch, Agnieszka Najda

 

ABSTRACT



The purpose of the studies was to determine the quantity and quality of the yield of aboveground parts (false stem and leaves) of winter garlic in the cultivation for bunch yield. The content of dry weight (10.37-12.10%), total carbohydrates (21.64-24.19%), L-ascorbic acid (7.32-9.17 mg %), chlorophyll (0.025-1.532 mg per one kilo) and raw fibre (0.86-1.10%) was determined. In both years of the studies the plants were gathered 30 and 60 days after emergence.

Key words: garlic, Allium sativum L., leaves, chemical composition.
