Seed quality of crops seeds under the action of organomineral fertilizer Viteri 8-4-5

Abstract

The Institute of Agroecology and Environmental Management of NAAS Laboratory tests dealing with the selection of optimal parameters, namely, concentrations of organic-mineral fertilizer Viteri 8-4-5, duration and methods of pre-sowing seed treatment of agricultural crops with the aim of improving the seed quality indices were carried out. Studies were carried out on seeds of leguminous and cereal crops, namely: soybean variety Cordoba, spring wheat variety Tryzo, oat variety Desnyansky, hybrids of corn Zbruch and DN Vys, buckwheat variety Ukrainka. The most significant impact on the improvement of seed quality of the studied agricultural crops (according to seed germination index) was observed in the 24-hour presowing soaking of the seeds in 1% dilution of the fertilizer. Thus, the increasing of the seed germination indices of the soybean variety Cordoba and hybrid of corn Zbruch were by 13.5 % and by 10.8% accordingly compared to the control.
