Abstract
The article presents the results of many years of research on the effect of foliar dressing with complex fertilizers and humate on photosynthetic activity and productivity of potato plants of Gala and Latona varieties. The following options have been studied: 1) without treatment (control); 2) dressing with Ekorost humate at a dose of 0.2-0.4 l/ha; 3) dressing with micronutrient Strada N at a dose of 3-5 l/ha; 4) dressing with micronutrient Strada R at a dose of 3-5 l/ha. The treatment was carried out twice during the growing season: when full shoots appeared and 14 days after the first one. Determination of the leaf area and calculation of the photosynthetic potential were carried out according to the VNIIKH method (1967) three times during the growing season in the following phases: budding, flowering, and the beginning of withering away of lower leaves. The crop was harvested by the method of continuous harvesting of the accounting area of the plots with weighing. The effectiveness of the studied agrotechnical methods has been proved. The best variant of the investigated ones is the use of Strada R. The plants of this variant formed a more powerful assimilation apparatus and had the highest photosynthetic potential, which ultimately affected the yield of tubers. The increase in the yield of two varieties of potatoes was 21.8-23.1 % in relation to the control. Gala variety turned out to be more responsive to the action of vegetative treatments in comparison with Latona variety.
Highlights
Potatoes are among the crops that intensively consume nutrients during growth and development due to a weakened root system and large tubers [1,2]
The purpose of the work is to study the effect of foliar dressing with complex fertilizers Strada N, Strada R and humate Ekorost on photosynthetic activity and productivity of potato plants
An indicator of photosynthetic activity is the growth and development of the assimilation apparatus, which in turn depends on the growing conditions
Summary
Potatoes are among the crops that intensively consume nutrients during growth and development due to a weakened root system and large tubers [1,2]. For the full growth and development of potatoes, systematic feeding of vegetative plants is important [4,5]. Modern liquid complex fertilizers with microelements are well suited for this purpose. They include Strada N and Strada R, which contain a wide range of nutrients necessary for growing a high-quality crop of tubers. They include Strada N and Strada R, which contain a wide range of nutrients necessary for growing a high-quality crop of tubers. (Table 1)
