The objective of this study was to carry out a field trial to determine optimal fertilizer rates and nutrient ratios for application to vegetables used for the production of the Bag-Zacin seasoning mixture. The trial studied how five different rates of fertilizers with different nutrient ratios affected the levels of macroelements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Na), microelements (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, and Mo), vitamin C, and beta carotene in vegetables. The results showed that increasing fertilizer rates increased the levels of macro- and microelements in vegetables dry matter. Treatments 4 and 5 produced higher yields of vegetables dry matter than the other fertilization treatments and the control. Balanced fertilizer application had a positive effect on vitamin C and beta carotene contents of the five crop species studied.
