Pigment content in the leaves of different cherry varieties

Abstract

Sweet cherry productivity is ensured by both the supply of nutrients from the soil and the synthesis of nutrients in the green assimilation organs of the tree - the leaves. The intensity of photosynthesis determines the biological and economic productivity of trees. Leaves on trees are the main organs that produce organic matter, from which tree biomass is created, as absorbed solar light energy. The primary source of organic matter formation is photosynthesis, which is associated with the most important processes of plant life, and as a result, the formation of a high yield. It is known that the intensity of photosynthesis, and with it the accumulation of organic matter, depends on the size of the leaf surface, which is determined by the biometric parameters of plants and the duration of the active activity of the assimilation apparatus
