Pokotylo I. Optimization of agrotechnical methods of coriander growing under the conditions of the central Forest-Steppe of Ukraine

The results of the researeh regarding growth, development, forming of individual productivity, qualitative and quantitative indices of sowing coriander depended on its variety, row width and seed sowing rate have been presented in the thesis. The influense of the researching factors on the duration of vegetative and interphase periods, field germination, percentage of plant survival according to the vegetation, plant height, a number of seeds within one plant and their mass, a number of branches of the first order, sowing qualities of seeds and the content of oil seeds, economic and energetic effectiveness of coriander growing has been defined.
