Abstract

In the circular economy, an important place is given to the use of biohumus derived from waste in agriculture, in order to increase plant yield, early maturity, fruit quality and resistance. We studied the effect of biohumus derived from organic waste and the organic fertilizer Organomix, a product derived from mushroom production waste by the Armenian-Norwegian joint venture ORWACO, on the growth, development, yield and quality of tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, eggplants, and physalis.
The following options were tested: Control - No fertilization, Sample I - Fertilized with Organomix, followed by a single feeding with biohumus (4.5 T per 1 ha), Sample II - Fertilized with Organomix, followed by a double feeding with biohumus (5 T per 1 ha), Sample III - Fertilized with biohumus obtained from organic waste, followed by a single feeding with biohumus (4.5 T per 1 ha), Sample IV - Fertilized with biohumus obtained from organic waste, followed by a double feeding with biohumus (5 T per 1 ha).
The results of the study showed that there were significant differences in terms of flowering, fruiting and ripening of plants. The results of the study showed that all varieties fertilized with Organomix and biohumus obtained from organic waste (5 T per 1 ha) had biological , the best indicators of morphological and agronomic characteristics. The plants did not catch diseases at different stages of growth and development. These variants were distinguished by quantitative changes in the vegetative and generative organs of plants. The results of fertilizer studies showed that the average yield of the tomato variety Noy in this best variant was 95.6 - 115.8 t/ha, for the sweet pepper variety Emil, respectively, 62.3 - 650.2 t/ha, for the hot pepper variety Armenian Beautiful, respectively, 45.6-49.5 t/ha, for the eggplant variety Karine, respectively, 75.8-80.6 t/ha, for the physalis variety Zangak, respectively, 55.8-60.3 t/ha. All samples had a higher yield compared to the test variety. The studied samples also differ in their qualitative parameters. At the stage of biological maturation, the best varieties of tomato for processing had 6.2-7.3% dry matter, 3.3-5.4% sugar, 18.45-35-25 mg% vitamin C. The same patterns were also observed in pepper, eggplant, and physalis.
The results of the studies show that high indicators of growth, development, yield, and crop quality of local varieties of fleshy vegetable crops were recorded when the plants were fertilized with Organomix and biohumus obtained from organic waste (5 T per 1 ha).
