Abstract

The purpose of the research was to study the effect of a liquid-phase biological preparation (LPBP) and cobalt nanoparticles during presowing seed treatment against the background of applying a minimum dose of compost (90% cattle manure and 10% rotted bird droppings) on the productivity and quality of the green mass of the grass mixture. The work was carried out in Ryazan oblast in 2019–2021 on sod-podzolic, gray forest soils, and leached chernozem. A lysimetric experiment was carried out that assumed a variant without presowing seed treatment with biostimulator as well as variants using a liquid-phase biological product (1%) and cobalt nanoparticles (0.01 g per hectare seeding rate). Presowing treatment of seeds with biopreparation and cobalt nanoparticles in combination with organic fertilizers at a dose of 20 t/ha provided an increase in yield, relative to control, on sod-podzolic soil by 6.3–23.3%, on gray forest soil by 3.0–8.8%, and on leached chernozem by 0.8–16.8%. Soaking of seeds in a solution of cobalt nanoparticles provided the best effect in the experiment on gray forest soil, and the increase in yield was 8.8%. Plants on sod-podzolic soil and leached chernozem turned out to be more responsive to the action of LPBP: the yield increase was 23.3 and 16.8%, respectively. At the same time, there was no decrease in the nutritional value of perennial grasses (metabolic energy, feed units, digestible protein). The use of cobalt nanoparticles led to an increase in the content of carotene in perennial grasses compared with the control variant of the experiment (without presowing seed treatment) on sod-podzolic soil by 71.4%, on gray forest by 37.5%, and on leached chernozem by 25.0%.
