The nutritional requirements of Eucalyptusgrandis Hill ex Maiden seedlings were studied in glasshouse pot experiments. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) demand was assessed by bioassays, in which the uptake of tracers (15N, 32P, or 86Rb) by roots excised from the seedlings grown at different levels of nutrient supply was measured. A pilot study showed that there was an inverse relationship between nutrient supply and influx. The measured influx was affected by the length of time that the roots were stored before the bioassay was applied. In a 33 N, P, and K factorial nutrient experiment, growth was primarily influenced by N. Maximum growth occurred at the highest level of supply of each of the three nutrients. N and K influx in the root bioassay was inversely related to foliar N and K concentration, but P uptake was not related to foliar P concentration. These results indicate that the root bioassays are more sensitive determinants of nutrient limitation than. foliar analysis. Interactions between N and P and between N and K alter the stem:leaf ratio, which may be of importance in optimizing wood production.

Abstract. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of different fertilizer doses on the content of macroelements (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) in dry biomass and grain of maize during the 2016 – 2018 period. A field experiment with fertilization of maize was carried out on Alluvial-meadow soil (Fluvisol) in the region of Tsalapitsa village, near Plovdiv. Three variants of mineral fertilization were studied V2 (N15P10K0), V3 (N20P15K0) and V4 (N25P20K0), and a control variant V1 (N0P0K0) – without fertilization. It was established that N% content in maize dry biomass was affected significantly by the variants of fertilization (18% of the variance). Significant differences (P≤0.05) between the control variant and all the variants of fertilization were established. Increasing the fertilizer dose, nitrogen content in dry biomass increased, too. The highest was the average content of nitrogen in maize leaves (0.94%), followed by the cobs (0.71%) and the lowest was the content in the stems (0.58%). Phosphorus and potassium content of dry biomass were affected significantly by the year of the study (10% and 9% of the variance, respectively). At the 7-8th leaf growth stage of maize, the highest nutrients content (N, P, K) in dry biomass were reported. With aging of plants the nutrient content in their biomass decreased. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in maize grain was significantly affected by the year of the experiment. Mineral fertilization had impact mostly on the nitrogen content of the grain, which was the highest in V3 variant, accepted as optimal – 0.66% on average.

A set of four experiments with increasing levels of the three main plant nutrients and liming were established in two lateritic soils at two locations in the coffee-growing area of Puerto Rico. Two coffee cultivars were used in the experiments. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. Nitrogen levels significantly affected coffee yields of the Puerto Rico cultivar in a Catalina clay at Maricao grown under shade. 2. Phosphorus and potassium did not significantly affect the yields of these coffee cultivars at the two locations. 3. Liming did not significantly affect the yields.

Analysis of modern scientific literature and patents has shown the absence of acid-free production technology of a mechanically activated multicomponent mineral fertilizer containing water-holding substances. Experimental researches connecting with mechanochemical activation and physicochemical properties of Karatau phosphorites prove a possibility of development of a new multicomponent mineral fertilizer. Application of inorganic and organic activators considerably improves qualities of fertilizers because the developed fertilizer mixtures contain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, humate and microelements. The suggested technology intends to use wastes of coal mining that leads to presence of humates and microelements in the end product. It was determined, that content of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium depends on a form of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium-containing substances. The given article contains data of researches connecting with use of multicomponent mineral fertilizers in field conditions for cotton cultivation on irrigated light sierozems consisting of soil-forming rocks of loess and loess-type clay loams. The research results show the increase of soil’s fertility and cotton’s productivity. Studying of agronomic efficiency of the new kinds of mechanically activated multicomponent mineral fertilizers at the cultivation of a bean-cereal mixture has been carried out in the Negorelsk experimental nursery-garden of the Belarus State Technical University on a sod-podzol sandy-loam soil and has shown the essential influence on productivity and quality of the bean-cereal mixture. The researches fulfilled on a sod-podzol sandy-loam soil have revealed the essential increase of key indicators of feed productivity. Application of the mineral fertilizers has promoted increase of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in green plants. In so doing content of calcium and magnesium in green mass depends from quantity of the fertilizer used to a smaller extent. An essential difference of crop capacity and feed productivity indicators depending on forms of the applied mineral fertilizers has not been found.

Наличие микроэлементов в почвах нашей страны находится в большом дефиците, что не позволяет оправдать биологический потенциал продуктивных показателей основных сельскохозяйственных культур. Цель исследований научное обоснование выбора наиболее эффективного способа применения комплексных жидких удобрений с микроэлементами в хелатной форме для формирования плотности агроценоза, посевных качеств и биохимического состава семян яровой пшеницы. Установлено, что в среднем за два года исследований полевая всхожесть яровой пшеницы на фоне естественного плодородия находилась в пределах 73,8-78,4, а на фоне внесения азофоски она составила 73,6-79,3. Наибольшее количество сохранившихся растений к уборке отмечено как на фоне без внесения удобрений, так и на фоне минерального питания в вариантах с обработкой семян Мегамикс-семена и Мегамикс-Профи в фазы кущения и колошения 386 и 388 растений на 1 м2. Микроэлементные удобрения оказали влияние на массу 1000 семян, энергию прорастания, лабораторную всхожесть и силу роста. При выращивании данной культуры на фоне внесения N16P16K16 масса 1000 семян увеличилась на 10,1 по вариантам опыта, энергия прорастания 9,4, лабораторная всхожесть на 6,9, масса 100 ростков на 17, а длина ростка 18,9. Биохимический состав зерна показывает запас питательных элементов: белка, азота, фосфора и калия, наибольшее количество которых накопилось в зерне яровой пшеницы, выращенной при обработке семян и посевов удобрениями Мегамикс-семена и Мегамикс-Профи .There is a great shortage of trace elements in the soils of our country, which does not justify the biological potential of the productive indicators of the main crops. The research objective is the scientific substantiation of the choice of the most effective way of applying complex liquid fertilizers with microelements in chelated form to form the density of agrocenosis, seedlings qualities and biochemical composition of spring wheat seeds. It was established that, on average, over two years of research, the field germination of spring wheat against the background of natural fertility was in the range of 73.8-78.4, and against the background of the application of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer it amounted to 73.6-79.3. The largest number of plants remained for harvesting was noted both against the background without fertilizer application and against the background of mineral nutrition in the variants with seed treatment with Megamix-seeds and Megamix-Profi in the tillering and heading stages - 386 and 388 plants per 1 m2. Micronutrient fertilizers influenced the weight of 1000 seeds, germination energy, laboratory germination and growth power. When growing this crop against the background of N16P16K16 application, the weight of 1000 seeds increased by 10.1 according to the experimental variants, germination energy - 9.4, laboratory germination by 6.9, weight of 100 sprouts - by 17, and sprout length - 18.9. The biochemical composition of the grain shows a supply of the following nutrients: protein, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, the largest amount of which was accumulated in spring wheat grain grown during the treatment of seeds and crops with fertilizers Megamix-seeds and Megamix-Profi.

Field experiments were carried out during the dry seasons in (2012-2013 and 2013-2014) to study the impact of Integrated Nutrient Management on some soil properties and nutrients uptake by red onion (Allium cepa L.) in Moda, Michika, Adamawa state, Nigeria. Soil samples were randomly collected and analysed for pH, EC, organic carbon, organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus before and at the completion of the experiment. Total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents of the onion bulbs were determined. There was an improvement in the fertility status of the soil as a consequence of integrated nutrient management. Combined organic and inorganic fertilizer application influenced the uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by red onion. The highest nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium uptake by onions of 0.76, 43.82 and 2.42kgha-1 occurred when all treatments were combined. Uptake of N and K increased as treatment level increased. The P uptake was highest at lower treatment levels and could be linked to sufficiency of indigenous soil P for plant growth resulting in high P uptake with minimal addition of nutrient inputs. Integrated Nutrient Management could be adopted to improve soil fertility status and N, P and K uptake by red onions.

An experiment was done to evaluate the effect of different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilization on the yield, quality and foliar nutrient concentration of 'Orlando' tángelo in a Corozaf clay soil. Nitrogen levels evaluated were 0,85.2,170 and 341 kg/ha. Levels of phosphorus evaluated were 0,12.4, 24.8 and 49.6 kg/ha; and potassium levels were 0, 47.8, 94.6 and 188 kg/ha. A significant linear response was found between the nitrogen application and the cumulative production of fruits per tree. High application of nitrogen was related to high cumulative production. No significant relationship was found between the phosphorus and potassium levels and the cumulative production. The application of different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium had no effect on the average fruit weight and the quality of fruits in terms of pH, brix, acidity and brix/acidity rate. The different levels of nitrogen significantly affected the foliar nutrient concentration of nitrogen, calcium, potassium and phosphorus. Different applications of phosphorus significantly affected the foliar concentrations of calcium and potassium. The levels of potassium had no significant effect on the foliar concentrations of the different elements evaluated.
