Agrobiological study of a new legume

\nThe article presents the results of long-term research on the planting dates of the new leguminous crop Cajanus cajan in the conditions of Galaarol district of Jizzakh region and Zharkurgan of Surkhandarya region. A brief description of the biology of C.cajan, the experience of the medical field, the methods of accounting and monitoring, and the agricultural technology of cultivation were studied. Preliminary results indicate that C.cajan demonstrates a high degree of adaptability to the Uzbekiston climate, with satisfactory germination and growth rates across different regions. Nutritional analysis of the harvested seeds revealed high protein content and essential amino acids, making C.cajan a valuable addition to the local diet and a potential contributor to food security. Legumes are vital crops globally, playing a significant role in sustainable agriculture due to their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, which improves soil fertility and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers (Amanov et al. 1972). They are a crucial source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them essential for food security and nutrition.\n
