STUDY OF SPAD VALUES (CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT) IN COTTON LEAVES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF BIOSTIMULANTS
This article presents the results of studies conducted to study the content of chlorophyll in cotton varieties under the influence of
biostimulants. In the work, the values of SPAD in the leaves of plants at different stages of the growing season were studied
under the influence of biostimulants on cotton varieties. The content of chlorophyll was measured using a SPAD 502 chlorophyll
fluorescence meter. According to the results obtained, the SPAD values in the samples treated with biological products showed a
significantly higher value compared to the control.
