The effect of foliar feeding upon buckwheat seed yield and quality in organic farming system

Abstract

The investigation was performed on organic field of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Bački Petrovac. The buckwheat variety Novosadska had a significantly higher yield of 171 kg ha-1 than the control in the variant with the foliar feeding treatment with the organic fertilizer 'Bioplant flora". No significant differences between the foliar nutrition variant and the control in content of starch, proteins and seed oil were obtained. Foliar feeding showed favourable effects upon increasing buckwheat seed yield in organic farming system. .

Istraživanje je sprovedeno na sertifikovanoj organskoj parceli Instituta za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo u Bačkom Petrovcu. Sorta heljde Novosadska, u varijanti folijarne prihrane organskim đubrivom 'Bioplant flora", ostvarila je statistički značajno viši prinos za 171 kg ha-1 u odnosu na kontrolnu varijantu. U pogledu sadržaja skroba, sadržaja proteina i sadržaja ulja u zrnu, nije bilo značajnih razlika između kontrole i varijante sa prihranjivanjem. Folijarna prihrana pokazala se kao povoljan metod za povećanje prinosa zrna heljde u organskom sistemu gajenja. .
