Increase of germination and germinating power of melon and sweet melon seeds at the cost of soaking in different solutions of micro elements

Abstract

The results of researches are presented on influence of complex application of facilities of chemicals to improve the germination and seed vigor, yield and fruit quality of watermelon and cantaloupe at cultivation in the open field and greenhouse. The highest average yield obtained for 2 years in a joint application of macro- and micronutrients and biologically active substances – 38.4 t/ha watermelon fruit and 26,1 tons / hectare melon fruits, which is higher compared with the background for this, respectively, 8,7 and 4,3 t/ha. Reduction of nitrate to 3–12 mg/kg wet weight of fruit melons provide a combined application of micro- and macrofertilizers with biologically active substances.
