Influence of slow disintegrating fertilizer rates on quality of gazania (Gazania rigens L.) seedlings

Abstract

The work has examined the influence of slow disintegrating fertilizer rates of Scotts (Osmocote Exact) formulation 15:9:9:MgO + Me on quality of Gazania rigens L. seedlings. The seedlings of Gazania rigens L. was produced in polystyrene containers (speedling system) and polypropylene pots (pot system). During the production of seedlings the fertilizer has been applied in rates (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4g/l). The results show that the fertilizer rate of substrata 4g/l influences the qualitative properties of Gazania rigens L. seedlings.

U radu je ispitivan uticaj različitih doza spororazlagajućih đubriva Scotts (Osmocote Exact) formulacije 15:9:9:MgO + Me na kvalitet rasada gazanije. Rasad gazanije je proizveden u polistirenskim kontejnerima (speedling system) i polipropilenskim saksijama (pot system). U toku proizvodnje rasada dodavano je đubrivo u dozama (0, 1, 2, 3, i 4g/l). Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju da doza đubriva od 4g/l supstrata značajno utiče na kvalitativne osobine rasada gazanije.
