The role of Siliplant, Epin-extra and Zircon preparations in the formation of the assimilation apparatus of spring wheat seedlings depending on water supply conditions

Abstract

Background. Currently, the use of drugs of various origins is one of the promising methods for increasing crop yields. The use of various biological products makes it possible to activate the physiological and biochemical processes of plants. This helps stimulate growth processes in the early stages of plant development and realize the adaptive abilities of plants under stressful conditions. Materials and methods. The object of research was spring wheat of the Zlata variety. Plants were grown in Mitscherlich vessels with a capacity of 500 g of soil. The experiments simulated optimal water supply conditions and short-term drought. The studied drugs were applied by treating the seeds before sowing. Results. The role of the Siliplant fertilizer and the growth regulators Epin-extra and Zircon in the formation of the assimilation surface of spring wheat plants in the early stages of development is shown. The studied preparations under conditions of optimal water supply contributed to an increase in the accumulation of plant mass and assimilation surface area. Conclusions. It was shown that the Siliplant fertilizer showed a positive effect on the formation of the assimilation surface of wheat plants under optimal growing conditions and during drought. The growth regulators Epin-extra and Zircon, under short-term drought conditions, activated the mechanisms for realizing the adaptive abilities of spring wheat plants.
