HYGIENIC ASPECTS OF THE KOTOFOR HERBICIDE INFLUENCE ON THE QUALITY OF SOME PLANT PRODUCTS

Abstract

When applying Kotofor's herbicide in agriculture against weeds in consumption rates of 1.0-3.0 kg/ha, there is no change in biological quality (total protein, starch, vitamins С, P) in plant products. With an increase in Kotofor's consumption rate to 4.0 kg/ha, a decrease in total protein, starch, and vitamin С in potato and watermelon tubers was revealed.

Based on the foregoing, from a hygienic point of view, planting of collective farms was established with an acceptable dose of introducing kotofor into the soil for planting of crops no more than 3.0 kg/ ha.
