Application of growth-stimulating agents in table beet cultivation on irrigated land in the Northern Caspian

Abstract

For the first time, on the irrigated lands of the Astrakhan region, a study was conducted on the influence of foliar application of modern growth-stimulating drugs on table beets. In a scientific study conducted during 2019... 2021, a two-factor field experiment on table beet was laid down according to generally accepted methods. Biochemical indicators were determined: sugars; dry matter; nitrates. The results obtained during the study made it possible to distinguish a variant using foliar application of complex preparations Aminovit, which had a significant impact on all varieties and hybrid presented in the experiment. The lowest content of nitrates of 1015 mg/kg in root crops turned out to be in the Khutoryanka variety in the version with foliar application of Aminovit. It should also be noted that a high nitrate value of 1390 mg/kg was in the control variant of Mulatka and Bon F1 hybrid. As a result, foliar application did not lead to an excess of the MAC (1400) nitrates in the root crops of the table beet.
