Effect of new complex bio-fertilizer on seed germination of different varieties of winter vetch

Abstract

The article presents the results of studying the effect of new bio-fertilizer on the germination and germination energy of winter vetch seeds (Vicia vilossa Roth). Experimental studies were conducted in the laboratory conditions of the Krasnodar Research Centre for Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine (Krasnodar, Znamenskiy settlement). The positive effect of vetch seeds treatment with a new bio-fertilizer on germination energy and seed germination has been established. The germination energy and seed germination when treated with bio-fertilizer compared to the control (water) were higher by an average of 14.6 and 4.0%, respectively. The winter vetch variety Glinkovskaya in terms of seed germination energy turned out to be the best among other varieties. This indicator was higher by 19.35% in comparison with the control. The winter vetch variety Orlan in terms of seed germination turned out to be the best among other varieties. This indicator was higher by 9.0% in comparison with the control. This bio-fertilizer can be used to increase soil fertility and soil recultivation in plant-growing, agriculture.
