Abstract

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.

Highlights

According to the FAO forecast, by 2050 the world's population will increase by 34 % and will amount to 9.1 billion people
Pumpkin is a melon crop demanding for heat, moisture and soil fertility
Pumpkin seeds begin to germinate at a temperature of 13-14 °C, but the optimal temperature for the growth and development of plants and pumpkin fruits is 22-25 °C

Summary

Introduction

According to the FAO forecast, by 2050 the world's population will increase by 34 % and will amount to 9.1 billion people. In this connection, in order to provide food for the growing population, the production of agricultural products will need to be increased by 60 % [1]. According to the National Organic Union of the Russian Federation, the market for organic products is one of the most dynamically developing in the world and over the past twenty years has grown more than five times (from 18 to 97 billion euros). According to forecasts by Grand View Research, the market will continue to grow at a rate of 10-12 % per year and will reach about $212230 billion in 2025 [3]
