PROSPECTS OF CULTIVATION OF NASTURTIUM (TROPAEOLUM MAJUS) IN UZBEKISTAN
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article is dedicated to evaluating the prospects for cultivating nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.) under the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan. Through a systematic analysis of literature spanning from 2018 to 2025, the phytochemical composition, agrobiological characteristics, and adaptive strategies of the plant are examined. Nasturtium is distinguished by its substantial concentrations of vitamins, polyphenols, and glucosinolates, alongside its resilience to salinity and moisture scarcity, rendering it a valuable candidate for ornamental, culinary, and medicinal applications. The crop's potential for cultivation on degraded lands is emphasized, along with the imperative for localized field trials and the establishment of a seed repository to enhance both yield and product quality in the region..
