Abstract
Currently, in agricultural practice, approaches to growing crops based on the techniques of biologizing agriculture are widely used. The rejection to use synthetic pesticides and the limited use of mineral fertilizers will reduce the negative load on agrocenoses while maintaining crop volumes. Among these alternatives, an environmentally friendly source of increasing commodity production is sapropel. The use of sapropel in agriculture has a long history of possessing good convenient fertilizing properties and content of a large amount of organic substances. The paper presents an experimental assessment of the possibility of using 1.0% ultradisperse humic sapropel suspensions (UDHSS), added to the main working mineral medium, on the indicators of seed germination of plants from different families. The exposure was 7 days. Before planting in vessels, the seeds of all plants were superficially treated with a 5.0% sodium hypochlorite solution for 5 min, and then thoroughly washed with distilled water. The specifics of the significant formation of lateral roots in radish and maize during germination on a medium with UDHSS at an early stage of ontogenesis are noted. An increase in exudation of citric acid in seedlings of all plants was shown when they were treated with HS. In total, the greatest effect from the use of UDHSS was observed in Solanum lycopersicum plants, where the total share of root excretions of organic acids increased 3 times.
