Matyogubov.M gave a lecture on "Application of new technologies in pumpkin cultivation".Preparing the land for planting in pumpkin cultivation is an important condition that ensures the good results of all subsequent technological measures. In autumn, the soil is plowed to a depth of 35 cm. Before plowing the land, mineral and organic fertilizers are given. In the spring, the soil is cultivated with a long-toothed harrow to preserve moisture in the soil. There is no need to plow the land again in the spring when the pumpkin crop is planted early. When crops are sown in the evening period, it is necessary to plow the land again. In this case, without turning over the soil, it is plowed to a depth of 22 cm. The germination of pumpkin seeds depends on the correct timing of planting. It is planted until April 15 in the southern regions, until April 20 in the regions located in the central region, and until April 30 in the northern regions. Pumpkin seeds are planted when the soil temperature reaches 14-15°С.They independently analyze the topic together with their group, ask the teacher about misunderstandings, and 20 minutes before the end of the lesson, the groups answer questions with each other and are evaluated.
  In this way, the professors and teachers of the department asked the speaker and the student with the questions they were interested in, and the seminar was full of questions and in an upbeat spirit.
