The influence of biological compounds with different mechanisms of action on the metabolism of plants and seed quality of garden rocket
Abstract
The problem of modern agriculture is the gradual adjustment to ecological system of plant production, introduction of new species with medical, antimicrobial and allelopathic properties as well as positively affecting the environment and other plants. This is a necessary condition to protect the environment and human health. Among the many species of introduced plants with promedical properties, garden rocket (Eruca sativa) becomes more and more popular in our country. It is a world-known and widely distributed as a species with a high content of bioactive components and wide possibilities of usage. The aim of this study was to develop the ecological method of garden rocket production and to improve the quality of seeds. The study was conducted in the field in Research Institute of Horticulture in Skierniewice in 2009–2011. Seed, foliar and soil application were used with various compounds of different mechanisms of action. Their effectiveness and impact on the ontogeny of plants, physiological processes, health status and yield of obtained seeds were evaluated. It was shown that presowing bioconditioning of seeds with Nano Gro and foliar application of Tytanit used every 14 days from the stage of leaf rosette to the beginning of seeds setting resulted in an increase of plant resistance to diseases and adverse climatic conditions, induction of metabolic processes and improvement of plant vigour.
