Micronized natural calcite mineral was employed as a plant booster and mineral fertilizer in the production of wheat.
The controlled study has shown that a single foliar treatment of wheat with 2% aqueous Suspension in the amount of 1.5 kg/ha significantly increased Stalk strength. The crop yield was slightly increased, by about 5.8%, in comparison with a yield from the control parcel.
Micronized natural calcite was used as a plant booster and mineral fertilizer in the production of sugar beet.
The controlled study has shown that a single foliar treatment with 1% aqueous Suspension in the amount of 1.5kg/ha led to an increased crop yield of a 7%. At the same time, the sugar content in treated sugar beet was increased by 8%.
The Use of Micronized Natural Calcite Mineral as a Plant Booster and Mineral Fertilizer in the Production of Barley
The formulation from this invention was employed as a plant booster and mineral fertilizer in the production of barley.
Varieties of barley: Hordeum vulgare, Scarlett variety (untreated seed). In each pot 25 barley seeds were planted. The pots were placed in a greenhouse. Four days after planting, there were 15 plants in each pot. Micronized natural calcite mineral was applied 3 times by powdering whole plants. After 4-5 weeks of barley growth, the fresh and dry matter of barley leaves, and the weight of roots were measured. The plants were harvested in the correct phytosanitary state. The average fresh weight of treated plants was the same as that of untreated plants, but the dry matter at treated ones increased by 13%.
According to these results, micronized natural calcite exhibits a beneficial effect on the development and condition of barley leaves. The treatment leads to increased dry matter and the index of rhizospheric activity. Besides this, in comparison with untreated plants, the outlook of treated plants suggests the much better overall health of treated barley.
