EFFICIENCY OF THE USE OF LIQUID AMINE STIMULATING PREPARATION GROWSTIM IN THE CULTIVATION OF CORN FOR GRAIN

Abstract

Ukraine’s favorable natural and climatic conditions and high soil fertility make it possible to produce high-quality agricultural products in volumes sufficient to meet domestic needs and build export potential. However, due to significant changes in weather conditions, the most pressing issue is to increase the adaptability of plants to the negative effects of abiotic stressors. At the same time, due to the growing anthropogenic pressure on the environment, which is increasingly threatening the agricultural sector of Ukraine, there is a need to restore natural ecosystems, preserve their biodiversity, and protect them from degradation. Thus, the development and application of the latest biotechnologies based on the use of environmentally friendly means of increasing crop yields and their resistance to extreme environmental factors is of great importance today. One of the products of such technologies that are becoming increasingly important is natural and synthetic plant growth regulators that act similarly to phytohormones. It should be noted that these drugs are environmentally safe and have a positive effect on soil microflora, stimulate seed germination, help intensify physiological and biochemical processes in plant organs, activate their growth and development, and accelerate flowering and ripening. The use of growth regulators allows to realize the genetic potential of plants more fully, increase their resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors and, ultimately, increase yields and improve the quality of the products. The use of new plant growth regulators is especially promising, which indicates the need for research on the effectiveness of their use in crop cultivation technologies.
