Recently, young leafy greens (seedlings, baby leaf) have become increasingly popular. The seedling production sector consists of producers; producers-processors; producers supplying processors; and processing companies. All these links require accurate information about the harvest date and yield forecasts in order to meet demand. In Russia, few farmers are just starting to produce this category of products. Lettuce, arugula, indau, spinach and corn lettuce (Valerianella locusta L.), pak choy (Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis (L.) Hanelt.), mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.), etc. The requirements of crops grown to produce baby leaf products for growing conditions (day length, agrophysical properties of the soil, its acidity, salinity threshold, structure and properties of the seedbed, plant nutrition), technology of their growing in the open ground: features of sowing, including mechanized, density of standing, timing from sowing to harvesting products, methods of weed control. The characteristic of the most common physiological disorders in these crops is given: salt trauma, cold edema, frost damage, and ways to avoid unwanted guttation are presented. The harvesting technology features are described: the optimal time of day for harvesting, harvesting methods, the optimal composition of the mixture for sale. The causes of the decrease in product quality after harvesting are presented.
