Abstract

This article meticulously explores the critical aspects of agricultural timing and plant development by examining the optimal sowing periods, germination rates, flowering phases, and the ripening process of various fruit cultivars. Focusing specifically on early-ripening varieties such as “Tarnak,” “Khandalak,” and “Gurvak,” alongside middle-ripening types like “Zargulobi,” “Ak Novvot,” and “Qariqiz,” and concluding with late-ripening varieties such as “Amudarya,” “Sakovat,” and “Gulobi Khorezmi,” the study investigates the distinct climatic and soil conditions of the Khorezm region. Through systematic experimentation and data analysis, the research identifies optimal sowing times that correspond to each variety’s growth cycle, thereby enhancing overall productivity. The findings indicate that the selected varieties demonstrate significant yield potential when aligned with the best agronomic practices. Ultimately, this study serves as a valuable resource for local farmers and agricultural experts, providing insights that can lead to informed decision-making and increased fruit production in the region. By emphasizing the importance of timing in cultivation, this research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable agriculture and food security.
