Effect of organic fertilization on growth and yield of pepper plants ( L.)

<trans-abstract xml:lang="pl" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p> Celem doświadczenia było zbadanie wpływu nawożenia nawozem organicznym Lumbrical na wzrost i plon oraz niektóre parametry fizjologiczne papryki (‛Buketen 50’). Badania przeprowadzono na polu doświadczalnym Centrum Agroekologicznego przy Uniwersytecie Rolniczym w Płowdiw (Bułgaria), posiadającym certifikat gospodarstwa ekologicznego. Nawóz Lumbrical jest produkowany przy wykorzystaniu dżdżownicy kalifornijskiej (Lumbricus rubellus). Bezpośrednio przed sadzeniem roślin zastosowano dwa poziomy nawożenia nawozem Lumbrical, tj. 50 i 100 ml na roślinę. 30 dni po sadzeniu roślin część z nich dodatkowo zasilono roztworem Lumbricalu (200 ml na roślinę). W okresie wegetacji zbadano wybrane wskaźniki charakteryzujące wzrost roślin. Określono zawartość pigmentów i wymianę gazową liści oraz płodność pyłku. W wysuszonych owocach ustalono zawartość barwników.</p></trans-abstract>
