GENERATIVE AND VEGETATIVE PRODUCTIVITY OF LARGE-FRUITED STRAWBERRY FRAGARIA ANANASSA WHEN USING BIOSTIMULANTS FROM MARINE HYDROBIONTS OF KAMCHATKA
The influence of organic fertilizers (biostimulants) “Bio-Algo”, “Bio-Mix” and “Bio-Fish” made from Kam-chatka’s marine organisms on the indicators of generative and vegetative productivity of large-fruited straw-berries were represented. Comparison of organic biostimulants effect on such indicators as winter hardiness, general condition and pathogen damage revealed that the most effective biological product is “Bio-Algo”, the use of which had a positive effect on the development of strawberry plants and subsequent recovery pro-cesses after overwintering, increasing their generative and vegetative productivity. When processing straw-berry plants with the preparation an increase in the mass of the berry was noted, this ultimately increases generative productivity, without reducing the quality characteristics of the fruit – the content of ascorbic acid and soluble dry substances. It was stated that the use of organic fertilizer Bio-Algo increases the generative productivity of large-fruited strawberries by 1.3 times and the generative productivity by 1.6 times.
