Influence of chelated microfertilizers on growth processes and yield of table watermelon under agricultural conditions of the Volgograd Volga region

Relevance. The Volgograd region is a of risky farming. In the spring-summer period, cultivated crop (melons) often exposed to stress factors: spring frosts, abnormal heat, temperature changes, which negatively affects growth and development plants. this regard, it necessary develop new adaptive agrotechnical methods for cultivation melons gourds in order obtain stable yields high quality. Material methodology. object research watermelon, variety Meteor. Water-soluble fertilizers were studied – Helaton Extra Aquarin vegetable soaking seeds before sowing foliar treatment plants during growing season. Results. During period 2019-2021, types microfertilizers studied. When using preparations different processing, positive effect on table watermelon plants, as well increase leaf plate, was noted. treating had maximum impact processes early watermelon. As result research, yield also increased. average weight fetus all variants increased compared control variant by 2.7-5.3%. length season from 2 4 days, favorably affected yield. Comparative analysis productivity Meteor when forms water-soluble seed showed greater efficiency their use.
