Abstract
The article presents the results of vegetation studies on dusting the seeds of agricultural crops with zeolite. The experiment used seeds of spring wheat variety Ulyanovskaya-105 and mechanically activated zeolite of the Tatar-Shatrashansk deposit of the Republic of Tatarstan. The activated zeolite was obtained by mechanical activation using a crushing and screening plant at OAO Zeolites of the Volga Region, the particle size is 0.20 mm. The effect of dusting seeds with zeolite in various doses (25 kg/t, 50 kg/t, 75 kg/t, and 100 kg/t) on the growth and development of spring wheat plants, as well as on the quality indicators of grain, has been evaluated. The results revealed a positive effect of agro mineral on such parameters as seed germination (increase by 2.0–12.0%), chlorophyll content in plants in the tillering phase (by 7.4–33.3%), as well as on morphometric and biochemical parameters - plant height (by 2.5% -10.1%), the number of grains in the ear (by 7.7%), plant biomass (by 1.7% -7.9%) and the protein content in the grain (by 0.6-4.2%).
Highlights
Every year, the issue of increasing crop yields while maintaining soil fertility in conditions of intensive farming becomes more and more urgent
The largest deposits of the Russian Federation are in the Oryol, Kemerovo, and Sakhalin regions, the Republics of Tatarstan (RT) and Sakha, the Trans-Baikal, Krasnoyarsk, and Khabarovsk regions
The development of methods for increasing the productivity of this crop is of great industrial importance, in this regard, the purpose of the experiment was to study the effect of zeolite on the growth and development of spring wheat
Summary
The issue of increasing crop yields while maintaining soil fertility in conditions of intensive farming becomes more and more urgent. With a significant pesticide load on the soil and the irrational use of its resources, it is important to find both economically profitable and environmentally friendly methods to ensure high plant productivity. One of these methods, which have great potential for widespread use in agriculture, is the use of mineral raw materials, in particular zeolites and zeolite-containing rocks. The development of methods for increasing the productivity of this crop is of great industrial importance, in this regard, the purpose of the experiment was to study the effect of zeolite on the growth and development of spring wheat
