The impact of row spacing on the biometric characteristics of fennel varieties

Abstract

The most favourable conditions for fennel plant growth on dark chestnut soils of the southern Steppe of Ukraine were ensured by the interaction of such parameters of the investigated technological practices as the Oksamyt Krymu variety, row spacing of 45 cm. In this variant, the biometric characteristics of fennel plants reached the maximum values: plant height was 98,1 cm, leaf surface area amounted to 28,1 thousand m2/ha, dry overground mass of plants being 6,42 t/ha.
