Abstract
Description
A field experiment to assess the response of soybean
to the application of TS series stimulators was set up as complete
blocks design with four replications. The investigated factor was
growth stimulators (seed dressing – TS Osivo and foliar – TS
Samson) produced by the Czech company BEIDEA s.r.o., compared
to the control (without a stimulator). The reason behind the
study was the lack of domestic reports regarding the impact of
the use of TS series stimulators on the growth, development and
morphological agronomic traits and yields of legume crops. The
field trials were carried out in 2018–2019 at the Research Station
operated by the Institute of Agroecology and Plant Production,
Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, located
in the district of Wrocław – Pawłowice (Lower Silesia Voivodeship).
The tested crop was soybean, cultivar Abelina (maturity
group 000 ++, breeder Saatbau Linz). Soybean seed dressing with
TS Osivo stimulator caused an acceleration of germination and
emergence phases from 2 to 4 days compared to the control treatment
(water). The use of TS series stimulators in soybean cultivation
contributed, in comparison to the control, to a significant
increase (by 7.5%) in the plant height before harvest. Simultaneously,
an increase in the height of first pod was observed, which
reduces seed losses during harvest. Seed treatment with the TS
Osivo stimulator increased seed yield by 5.8% compared to control
treatment (without application). Spraying soybean with TS
Samson stimulator increased the seed yield by 8.6%. In practice,
in order to achieve an increase in soybean seed yield it is recommended
to apply pre-sowing seed treatment with TS Osivo stimulator
or foliar application of TS Samson.
