Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of silicon (Si) and calcium (Ca) added to the substrate (perliteor its mixture with peat) used in soilless strawberry cultivation on the number of different groups of microorganisms in the substrate. Research was conducted on a farm located in southern Poland in which soilless cultivation of strawberries in gutters, under covers, with an irrigation system was carried out. The microbiological analyzes were performed by serial dilution method. The analyzes included determination of the total number of bacteria, actinobacteria, fungi and aerobic atmospheric nitrogen assimilators of the Azotobacter genus. In this work, we showed that the concentration of microorganisms associated with the cultivation substrate may be influenced by the presence of silicon and calcium added to the composition of the substrate. Correlation analysis showed that the addition of Si + Ca to the substrate affects increase in the total number of bacteria in the substrate. The obtained results confirm that the cultivation substrate can be modified in such a way that it is more conducive to the multiplication and survival of bacteria associated with the substrate.
