Features of cultivation technology for organic pumpkin certified by JAS (Japan) in the conditions of Primorsky region

In the modern world, special attention is paid to rational use of natural resources and provision of the population with high-quality food. In this connection, the principles of organic farming are relevant both in our country and abroad, as they allow reducing the negative impact of agriculture on the environment. Primorsky Territory has significant potential for development of organic farming, as well as the possibility of exporting organic vegetables to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan. Based on the results of the studies carried out, the authors found that the soil and climatic conditions of the Partizansky District of the Primorsky Territory are suitable for cultivation of pumpkins considering the requirements of the Japanese JAS standards. Compliance with the recommended agricultural practices made it possible to obtain a yield of marketable pumpkin fruits of 11.1-12.2 c/ha with high quality indicators.
