Heavy metals are most common soil pollutants, including agricultural land. At the same time, the level of heavy metal pollution can significantly exceed the standards. Pea (Pisum sativum L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are most important crops. At the same time, no comparative analysis of their resistance to high concentrations of heavy metals has been carried out. In connection with this, the resistance of T. aestivum and P. sativum seedlings to the chronic effects of lead and copper salts in the range of lethal concentrations for T. aestivum was comparatively evaluated (0.15, 0.30 and 0.60 g/L of copper sulfate; 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g/L of lead nitrate) in experimental conditions. All studied concentrations of the toxicants caused a decrease in seed germination of T. aestivum relative to the control by 19–38% and 23–58% when exposed to lead nitrate and copper sulphate, respectively, which indicated the manifestation of lethal effects. All studied concentrations of both toxicants caused a significant reduction in the root system length (from 69% to 25 times) and shoot height (by 25–76%) as compared with the control level in T. aestuvum seedlings, and also led to an increase in the intensity of lipid peroxidation in seedling shoots, indicating the development of a stress reaction. At the same time, the studied concentrations of heavy metal salts, which were lethal for T. aestivum, did not cause almost any disturbances of the studied parameters in P. sativum, except for a decrease in the root system length after lead nitrate exposure. Thus, seed germination, growth processes of the root system and shoot, as well as peroxide homeostasis in P. sativum seedlings were much more resistant to the studied concentrations of lead nitrate and copper sulfate as compared with these parameters of T. aestivum.

Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of Sea Crop (SC 16) and Ergostim on the yield and nutrient composition of a few crops. Studies conducted under greenhouse and field conditions showed that the yields of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.) were not affected by the addition of SC16. The nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) concentrations of the two crops were not affected by SC 16, except in the control and SC 16 treatment only where the increases were likely due to a concentration effect, since these two treatments had lower yields. Boron (B) and molybdenum (Mo) concentrations in the plants were significantly affected by B and Mo applications, but not by SC 16. A greenhouse study showed that the yields of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and wheat were not affected by the addition of Ergostim. The addition of Ergostim did not affect the N or S concentration of wheat or three cuts of alfalfa.

The aim of the study was to study the effect of increasing doses of Cd and Pb salts on the morphometric parameters of pea and wheat seedlings. The problem of protecting the biosphere from chemical pollution, which is caused by the development of industry, transport, agricultural chemization, and intensive urbanization, is becoming increasingly important at the present time. This problem has become particularly acute due to the pollution of the environment with heavy metals. The most dangerous environmental pollutants among heavy metals are cadmium and lead. As a result, the negative impact of heavy metals on the initial stages of growth and development of seed peas (Pisum sativum L.) and soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Žemės ūkio sektoriui tenka svarbus vaidmuo įgyvendinant Europos Sąjungos žaliojo kurso tikslus. Gausiai naudojant sintetines ir organines trąšas, gamtiniuose vandenyse pastebimas nitratų koncentracijos didėjimas. Dideli kie-\kiai trąšų išplaunama į vandenis, o tai visų pirma skatina spartų ir perteklinį vandens dumblių ir melsvabakterių žydėjimą upėse, ežeruose ir galiausiai jūrose. Todėl, dirbant nuosekliai ir deramai kontroliuojant miesto valymo įrenginius, buiti- nes, pramonines bei žemės ūkio nuotekas, taip pat siekiant kiek įmanoma atsisakyti sintetinių trąšų naudojimo žemės ūkyje, galima tikėtis šį nepageidautiną procesą suvaldyti. Fitoplanktono biomasės, kaip žaliosios trąšos, naudojimo galimybės mažai tyrinėtos. Eksperimentiniams tyrimams atlikti buvo pasirinkti trys dažniausiai Lietuvoje sėjamų žemės ūkio augalų – paprastasis kvietys (Triticum aestivum L.), sėjamasis žirnis (Pisum sativum L.) ir sėjamasis rapsas (Brassica na- pus L.). Į augalų augimo substratą buvo įterpti skirtingi liofilizuotos fitoplanktono biomasės, surinktos iš Kuršių marių, kiekiai. Norint įvertinti fitoplanktono, kaip sintetinių trąšų alternatyvos, poveikį analizuotų augalų augimo ir vystymosi procesams, buvo atlikta biometrinių parametrų – antžeminės augalo dalies aukščio, žaliosios ir sausosios masės pokyčių analizė, taip pat fotosintetinių pigmentų – chl a, chl b kiekio ir chl a ir b santykio ir karotinoidų kiekio analizė. Tyrimai parodė, kad, sprendžiant vandens kokybės problemos gerinimo klausimus, surinktoji perteklinė fitoplanktono biomasė, kaip biostimuliatorius, gali būti naudojama augalininkystėje, taip pat skatinant alternatyvius tręšimo būdus ir mažinant sintetinių trąšų naudojimo mastą žemės ūkyje.
