EFFICIENCY OF THE MODIFIED FERTILIZER AND MICROBIOLOGICAL PREPARATION ON SPRING BARLEY IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE FOREST-STEPPE OF THE VOLGA REGION

Abstract

Studies to determine the effect of mineral, biomineral fertilizers and biological products on the content of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) during the growing season in spring barley plants were carried out in 2015-2017 on leached heavy loam chernozem of Ulyanovsk region. The soil of the experimental site contained: humus 6.43...6.62 % (according to Tyurin), total nitrogen-0.26 % (according to Kjeldahl), mobile phosphorus and potassium-214 ... 228 and 101...117 mg/kg of soil, respectively (according to Chirikov), pHKCl – 6.3...6.8 (GOST 26483-85), hydrolytic acidity – 1.20...1.29 mmol/100 g of soil (according to Kappen). The scheme of the experiment included the following options: without fertilizers (control); Bisolbiphite (seed inoculation); N15P15K15 (regular azofoska); N15P15K15m (azofoska modified with BisolbiPhite); N7,5P7,5K7,5m (azofoska modified with BisolbiPhite in a half dose). We used a complex mineral fertilizer-azofoska in a dose of 15 kg d. v. per 1 ha of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and a microbiological preparation BisolbiFit, which serves as a modifier of seeds and mineral fertilizers. The drug is based on a strain of bacteria of the rhizosphere Bacillus subtilis H-13, isolated from chernozem soil. Inoculation of spring barley seeds with a biological preparation was carried out 1...2 days before sowing (400...600 g/t of seeds), mineral fertilizer was treated on the day of its application to the soil (4 kg/t of fertilizers). As the studied crop, the variety of spring barley Nutans 553, zoned in Ulyanovsk region, was sown on experimental plots. Mineral fertilizers and biological preparation had a positive effect on the nutrient content of spring barley plants. Under the influence of the studied fertilizer, the nitrogen content in the green mass of barley increased by 0.09...0.30%, phosphorus − by 0.09...0.18%, potassium-by 0.25...1.10 %, in relation to the variant where mineral fertilizer and microbiological preparation were not used. As a result of the correlation analysis, a positive relationship was established between the yield of barley and the content of nutrients in plants during the tillering, tubing and flowering phases: with nitrogen (r = 0.78; 0.83; 0.75), phosphorus (r = 0.80; 0.42; 0.71) and potassium (r = 0.66; 0.59; 0.91). As a result of this research work, it was found that the use of the studied fertilizers and the biological product BisolbiFit positively affected the content of the main nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) in spring barley plants in all phases of its development.
