Impact of the application methods of the growth regulator Fitovital on the luguminous crops yield

Abstract

The paper demonstrates the results of the research on the effect of the growth regulator Fitovital, WSC on the yield of leguminous crops, which was used for seed encrustment and crop treatment at the budding stage. It was established that when adding the growth regulator Fitovital, WSC (1.2 l/t) to the seed protectant Vincit Forte, SC (1.0 l/t), the yield of leguminous crops increased by 8.8–16.5 % depending on the crop, and when crops were treated at the budding stage (0.6 l/ha) – by 9.9–17.1 %. The highest yield of leguminous crops was provided when using the growth regulator for seed encrustment with further treatment at the budding stage. The yield increase in that case was within 19.7–32.9 % depending on the cultivated crop.
