The Effect of Neutralising Materials on the Reaction of the Peat Substrate Medium when Growing Ball-Rooted Seedlings

The use of various types neutralising materials in the cultivation standard planting material high-quality forest wood species has a significant effect on substrate acidity. Therefore, study sets goal to select peat substrates with different dosages component and determine their reaction medium. paper presents results influence dolomitic meal chalk doses mineral fertilisers. Dolomitic was used as component, pH 6.6 7.5. It found that when created based high-moor milled (pH 2.5) introduction 2-4 kg/m3 (European spruce), 3-4. 5 (Scots pine), optimal acidity can be achieved month. An increase concentration lime recorded, which leads an neutralisation at dose 2.5 g 3.0 per 125 peat. best indicators were demonstrated by options 1.5-2.5 for 7-8 days 5-6 compared control. from 30% 70% faster deoxidation 3.2), dosage increases neutralisation. electrical conductivity 6-8 applying 1.6-2.0 1.2-1.4 times, respectively. At rate application 6-10 kg/m3, it lesser change peat, 2-4.5 into during does not lead This data allows choosing certain will enable European quality thereby ensure proper future stands
