Abstract

The evaluation of chlorophyll content index of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) ecotypes and varieties in the diverse conditions of fertilization was conducted in years 2013–2015. Chlorophyll content index (CCI) was determined in three phases of plant development: heading, flowering and seed filling. A single fertilization with Polifoska M mineral fertilizer was used, in the following doses: block I — without fertilization, block II — 20 kg Mg/ha, block III — 40 kg Mg/ha. The chemical analyses of composition of soil samples that were conducted in period 2013–2015 showed a very low magnesium content (28–30 mg/l of soil). 5 measurements of chlorophyll content index on underflag leaf were performed for the objects in each fertilization block in particular developmental phases. The differences in the rate of chlorophyll content for the selected ecotypes and varieties of switchgrass were observed, regardless of the dose of fertilizer. The highest values of chlorophyll content index (CCI) were observed in the phases of heading and flowering. Ecotypes 1, 2, 3 of switchgrass and Dacotah variety were characterized by the highest content of chlorophyll. The effect of fertilization on the CCI was observed both in the heading and in the flowering phase for objects 2 and 4, and for Dacotah variety; whereas in the case of object 3 and variety Summer only in the heading phase; and in the case of object 1 only in the flowering stage. The results indicated a positive effect of magnesium fertilization on the chlorophyll content in the tested objects of switchgrass.
