CHANGES IN SOME PARAMETERS OF SPRING PEAS AND VETCH AFTER APPLYING THE ORGANIC FERTILIZER HUMUSTIM (original) (raw)

The effect of the organic fertilizer Humustim on some parameters related to the nodulation and grain yield stability of spring forage peas and vetch was tested in a field trial. Pea plants showed the best supply of root mass with nodules and the longest duration of life cycle of nodules after pre-sowing seed treatment with Humustim at a rate of 0.6 and 1.2 L/t. The sustainable grain yield index was the highest for both peas and vetch after pre-sowing seed treatment with Humustim at a rate of 1.2 L/t + one treatment during vegetation. Using Humustim is recommended in addition to the cultivation technology of spring forage peas and vetch within the modern trends of organic farming.
