THE INFLUENCE OF FERTILIZER DOSES ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF PEPPER PLANTS AND THE CONCENTRATION OF TOXIC METALS IN PRODUCTION

Summary. The article considers the influence of various doses of fertilizers on the yield of the
zoned variety of pepper "Yadigar", grown in the Lankaran-Astara economic region. and the
influence of toxic metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) on the concentration of the product by stripping
voltammetric analysis, which caused a decrease in quality, was considered. Compared to the
option without fertilizers, in the options with higher doses of fertilizers, the concentration of
toxic metals zinc and cadmium increased, while the concentration of copper and lead, on the
contrary, decreased. In all studied options, the concentration of toxic metals in pepper products
was at a level not exceeding the MPC in the norms adopted by the Ministry of Health of the
Republic of Azerbaijan in the Sanitary and Epidemiological Rules and the rules "Hygienic safety
requirements". and nutritional value of food products
