Effect of natural biostimulators and slow-disintegrating fertilizers on the quality of thyme, common majoran and spearmint nursery stock

Abstract

The effect of natural biostimulators and slow-disintegrating fertilizers on the quality of thyme, common majoran and spearmint seedlings was analyzed with the aim of intensifying the production of medicinal, aromatic plants and spice herbs. Nursery plants were grown in polystyrene pots. During the growth of the nursery seedlings natural biostimulators and slow-disintegrating fertilizers were applied at different rates. Based on the results obtained it can be concluded that the application of both natural biostimulators and slow-disintegrating fertilizers significantly effected the tested quality of common majoran and spearmint seedling parameters. An identical effects was not registered in thyme seedlings.

U radu je ispitivan uticaj prirodnih biostimulatora i spororazlagajućih đubriva na kvalitet rasada timjana, origana i spearmint nane. Rasad je proizveden u polipropilenskim saksijama. Prilikom proizvodnje rasada dodavani su različiti prirodni biostimulatori (Viva i Megafol) i spororazlagajuće đubrivo Scotts (Osmocote Exact) u različitim dozama Najveći efekat upotrebe prirodnih biostimulatora i spororazlagajućeg đubriva na ispitivane parametre kvaliteta rasada je ostvaren kod origana i spearmint nane. Kod timjana taj efekat nije ostvaren.
