Abstract
The first step in obtaining rich harvests is to use on planting a vigorous and healthy seedling.
During the seedling production period, the application of foliar fertilizers has a positive influence on vegetative growth.
There were applied 5 foliar fertilizer, which have the following composition: inactive brewers yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), dose 8 kg ha‑1; seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) and minerals, dose 2 L ha‑1; Pseudomonas putida 108 CFU mL‑1, dose 4 L ha‑1; Ascophyllum nodosum, organic nitrogen and carbon of a biological nature, alginic acids, mannitol, betaine, K2O, dose 3 L ha‑1; mineral elements (N, P, K, Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu, Ca, Mo, Co), plant growth stimulators, auxins, cytokinins gibberellins, organic enzymes, dose 2 L ha‑1. All products used had a favorable influence on growth (height, stem diameter, root fresh weight, shoot fresh weight, leaves dry matter) and quality (content of N total, K, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Mo, B) in cucumber, melon and zucchini seedlings.
