Abstract

Geraniums (pelargoniums or storksbills, officially named as Pelargonium zonale (L.) L'Hér. Ex Aiton) are appreciated worldwide due to their ornamental potential and versatility. The research was conducted to emphasize the evolution of morpho-decorative and qualitative traits of two geranium cultivars of high aesthetic value, namely ‘Tango Salmon’ (Montevideo) and ‘Tango Dark Red’, depending on two different fertilization, conventional-chemical fertilization, and unconventional scheme, with a homeopathic solution respectively. It is excessive repetitiveness and is not the case.) cultivar, unconventional fertilization scheme tested conducted to the best results regarding most morpho-decorative characters investigated (33.40 cm height, 21.10 leaves/plant, 34.75 flowers/inflorescence, 2.35% nitrogen, and 48.34 SPAD). For cultivar ‘Tango Dark Red’, the conventional fertilization conducted to the best results in terms of height (18.90 cm), stems/plant (5.90), leaves/plant (14.95), and flowers/inflorescence (37.55), while unconventional fertilization led to higher nitrogen accumulation (2.18%) and enhanced chlorophyll synthesis (47.08 SPAD). Between nitrogen and chlorophyll contents within geranium leaves, strong positive correlations were identified in ‘Tango Salmon’, and weak to moderate in ‘Tango Dark Red’ cultivar. Higher scores were attributed to aesthetic indicators for ‘Tango Salomon’ compared to ‘Tango Dark Red’. The unconventional fertilization of geranium cultivars is an eco-friendly solution for enhancing their morpho-decorative characteristics.

施肥对天竺葵形态装饰特征的影响

天竺葵（pelargoniums或storksbills），正式名称为Pelargonium zonale（L.）L'Hér。Ex-Aiton）因其观赏潜力和多功能性而受到全世界的赞赏。本研究旨在强调两个具有高美学价值的天竺葵品种，即“探戈三文鱼”（蒙得维的亚）和“探戈深红”，分别采用顺势疗法解决方案，通过两种不同的施肥方式，即常规化学施肥和非常规方案，在形态装饰和质量特征上的进化。这是过度重复，事实并非如此。）栽培品种，非常规施肥方案对所调查的大多数形态装饰性状（33.40厘米高，21.10片叶/株，34.75朵花/花序，2.35%氮，48.34 SPAD）进行了试验，结果最佳。对于品种“探戈暗红色”，常规施肥在高度（18.90厘米）、茎/株（5.90）、叶/株（14.95）和花/花序（37.55）方面效果最好，而非常规施肥则导致氮积累增加（2.18%）和叶绿素合成增强（47.08 SPAD）。天竺葵叶片中的氮和叶绿素含量在“探戈三文鱼”中呈强正相关，在“探戈深红”品种中呈弱至中度正相关。与“探戈深红色”相比，“探戈所罗门”的美学指标得分更高。对天竺葵品种进行非常规施肥是提高其形态装饰特性的环保解决方案。

期刊介绍： Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca is a peer-reviewed biannual journal aimed at disseminating significant research and original papers, critical reviews and short reviews. The subjects refer on plant biodiversity, genetics and plant breeding, development of new methodologies that can be of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of plant biology, agriculture, horticulture and forestry. The journal encourages authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of the major questions of plant sciences, thereby maximizing the impact and value of their research, and thus in favor of spreading their studies outcome. The papers must be of potential interest to a significant number of scientists and, if specific to a local situation, must be relevant to a wide body of knowledge in life sciences. Articles should make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge or toward a better understanding of existing biological and agricultural concepts. An international Editorial Board advises the journal. The total content of the journal may be used for educational, non-profit purposes without regard to copyright. The distribution of the material is encouraged with the condition that the authors and the source (Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca or JCR abbrev. title Not Bot Horti Agrobo) are mentioned.
