Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study on the influence of bioproducts on soybean plants under the conditions of Primorsky kray. The research was carried out as a microplot experiment in 2020-2022. Bioproducts and soybean variety Primorskaya 86 served as the research object. The highest biological efficacy against Septoria blight (21.4%) was detected in the variant with a complex treatment with bioproduct Gamair. All of the studied bioproducts were equally effective against downy mildew (32 %). The bioproducts increased plant density and preservation until harvest. The highest plant density was observed in the variant with seed treatment and foliage spraying with Baktofit (60.3 plants/m²). The highest degree of preservation was detected after seed treatment with Biocomposite-correct (93.2 plants/m²). The plant height in the experimental variants exceeded the standard by 9.3-16.8 cm. A tendency for the growth of soybean herbage and roots was observed in the variant with a complex treament with Biocomposite-correct, which exceeded the control by 29.4 and 28.9%, respectively. The TKW increased by 10.1-26.0 % after treatment with the studied bioproducts. The seed weight per plant was by 10.5-51.1% higher in the experimental variants than in the control. Using the bioproducts allowed a significant gain in yield from 0.4 to 1.3 t/ha. The highest yield (3.8 t/ha) was observed in the variants with the treatment of seeds with Biocomposite-correct and the seed treatment with any bioproduct followed by subsequent spraying of foliage during the growing period with the same bioproduct.
