Abstract

Seeds of 5 Swiss chard cultivars were sown on 20 April or 15 July, and single harvest of leaf rosettes wasconducted on early July or half of October, respectively. Results of the study indicate the possibility of growingthe Swiss chard both in spring and autumn term, but yield of leaves obtained in the spring was double as high asin the autumn cultivation. Among tested cultivars Green White Ribbed and Bresanne provided the highest, whileVulcan the lowest yield in spring growing. However, the choice of cultivar had not a significant meaning inautumn season cultivation. Spring season culture caused a significant reduction of nitrates accumulation and waspreferable for the content of P, while autumn term for dry matter, K and Ca in both parts of leaves, vitamin C inleaf blades, and Mg in petioles. Irrespective of the term of growing and cultivar, leaf blades contained higherlevel of dry matter and Mg, while leaf petioles - nitrates, potassium and calcium.
