Efficiency of the application of complex, macro-, micro-fertilizers and Ekosil growth regulator for cultivation of carrots on sod-podzolic light-loamy soil

Abstract

The effectiveness of the use of complex, macro-, micronutrient fertilizers and growth regulator Ekosil in the cultivation of carrots on sod-podzolic light loamy soil.

The article presents the results of studies on the use of complex fertilizer with boron and copper for the main application, complex fertilizer with Lifdrip microelements, MicroStim micronutrient fertilizers for foliar dressing and Ekosil growth regulator when cultivating carrots on sod-podzolic light loamy soil. The effect of fertilizers on the yield of root crops and such quality indicators as marketability, dry matter content, sugars, carotene and nitrates was studied. It was found that, according to a set of indicators, the best was the use of a complex fertilizer with microelements Lifdrip. over the years of research, the yield of root crops in this variant of the experiment was 58,6 t/ha with a payback of 1 kg NPK 124 kg of root crops, marketability - 86,1 %. The dry matter content in root crops was 11,8 %, carotene - 14,7 mg/%, sugars - 8,1 %.
