Abstract

The article presents research materials for 2012...2015 on the study of the influence of new growth regulators on precocity, productivity and quality of potato tubers cultivated on sod-podzolic soil in the conditions of the Republic of Komi. Object of research - zoned varieties of potato Nevsky (middle-early) and Gloria (early-ripe). Biopreparation Verva and new pectic polysaccharides Lemnan (LM) - pectin from Lemna minor L. and Silenan (SV) - pectin from callus tissue of Silene vulgaris (M.) G. [Oberna behen (L.) Ikonn] were tested as the growth regulators The experiment scheme included pre-sowing soaking of potato tubers (dilution rate - 100 ml per 10 liters of water, consumption - 10 liters per 1 ton of tubers) and top-dressing of plants at phases of 3.5 leaves and tuber formation (dilution rate - 100 ml per 10 liters of water, consumption of working liquid - 300 liters/ha). Pre-sowing treatment and top-dressing with water was used as control. The use of pectic polysaccharides accelerated the passage of the development phases of potato varieties: the period of emergence of full shoots - by 2.8 days; from shoots to budding - by 2.7 days, from budding to mass flowering - by 4.14 days. Preparations LM, SV, Verva increased the early potato productivity by 51.2; 32.5; 48.8% (variety Nevsky) and 220.5; 261.4; 245.5% (variety Gloria) in comparison with the control variant. The increments of the total yield were according in variety Nevsky 9.3; 7.3; 8.9 t/ha (38.0.48.4%), in variety Gloria 32.7; 23.7; 29.9 t/ha (106.3.146.6%). Treatment with pectic polysaccharides increased the content of dry matter, starch, and vitamin C in tubers of potato respectively by 1.6.2.4; 5.1.6.2; 3.2.3.7% in variety Nevsky, and by 12.1.14.9; 13.1.17.2; 25.7.32.4% in variety Gloria. The use of preparations LM and SV reduced the nitrate content in tubers by 8.22 mg/kg (variety Nevsky) and 83.71 mg/kg (variety Gloria).
