ECOLOGICAL SUBSTANTIATION OF METHODS OF CULTIVATION OF AMARANTH PANICULATE IN THE APPLICATION OF GROWTH REGULATORS AND MICRONUTRIENTS IN THE CONDITIONSOF FOREST-STEPPE OF THE MIDDLE VOLGA REGION
The article presents the results of field studies on the influence of growth regulators and micro- nutrients on productivity amaranth paniculate. Presowing seed treatment drugs Albite, HUMATE K/Na with microelements, Eleplant resulted in a higher field emergence and preservation of plants by 1.8 and 2.9% and 1.5% and 2.7% respectively. The yield of leafy mass was 14,82 t/ha, the content of crude pro- tein in green mass within 25,18-of 28.26 %, seed yield of 1.45 t/ha or 0.21 t/ha (16.9 percent) than in the control. The best was the option of pre-sowing seed treatment drug Albite.
