Ecologization of apple seedlings cultivation

Abstract

The influence of microbial preparations (MP) on the growth and condition of apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.) seedlings and the nutrition elements regime of the soil in the fruit nursery in two cultivars: Golden Delicious and Rennet Simirenko on the stock EM-IX have been studied. It was established that the applied MPs had a positive effect on the growth, condition of the rootstocks, the survival rate of the graft eyes and the degree of their winter hardiness. The stimulating influence of MP on the growth and yield of grafted apple seedlings has been established. Nutritional conditions improved and the content of mobile forms of element nutrition increases in the rhizosphere of seedlings. The individual reaction of the cultivar to interaction with the introduced bacteria is shown.
