Effect of pre-winter sowing on earliness and yield of spinach

Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade-Zemun (1,2)

Abstract:

The paper deals with the effect of pre-winter sowing on earliness and yield of spinach. Sowing was conducted late in the autumn (November-December), i.e. before harsh frosts. Spring sowing served as the control. It was established that pre-winter sowing significantly increased the earliness of spinach and decreased its yield. Due to favorable effect on earliness, pre-winter sowing should be applied in the production of this vegetable. Early spinach is a commodity which is highly requested on the market and is placed on the market at a high price.
