Effects of nutrition on biomass production of Lacy phacelia in organic cropping system

Abstract

The experiment with Phacelia tanacetifolia cultivar NS Priora was conducted during 2018 on experimental plots of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, location in Bački Petrovac, in two variants: control, without nutrition and variant with nutrition, in organic cropping system. Foliar fertilization was applied with Phytograss & clover preparation, by Phytocomplex, two times during the intensive growth of the plants. Phytograss nutrition is a cocktail with micro and macro elements and N (1%), P2O5 (0.5%), K2O (0.05%), S (0.1%), La (0.2 mg kg-1), vitamins, etc. The trial was set up in a randomized block design with three replications. Six parameters were analyzed: biomass yield (t/ha), plant height (cm), length of the leaf (cm), mass of inflorescence (g), length of root (cm) and grain yield per plant (g).
