In the Stavropol Territory, together with vegetables, green crops are grown for seeds and for the production of fresh and dry greens. Due to cold resistance and early ripeness, these crops can be grown starting in early spring, collecting several harvests per year.
The main production of green crops is concentrated in Novoselitsky, Blagodarnensky, Grachevsky and Trunovsky districts. Farmers mainly grow dill and parsley for seeds, more than 1.5 thousand hectares are allocated for them. This year, the gross harvest for seed purposes amounted to more than 711.9 tons.
Also, dry greens are produced from dill in Stavropol, My Dream LLC is working in this direction – 58.4 tons have been collected from an area of 239 hectares this season.
– Greenhouse complexes are operating in the territory of the region, which have established year–round production of salad crops – arugula, spinach, chard, mini salads, which are especially popular in the off–season, winter season, – said Elena Tambovtseva, First Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Stavropol Territory.
So, in the village of Nezhinsky Foothill District a few years ago, an investment project of LLC “Valley of the Sun” was implemented for the construction of two stages of a modern greenhouse complex with a total area of more than 12 hectares. Greenhouse vegetable crops are grown there on the basis of new resource-saving technologies in order to import substitution and increase yields: tomatoes and mini-salads (arugula, salad mizuna, spinach, corn, chard, tatzoi, oak leaf lettuce). Currently, the company has produced 261.7 tons of green crops.
