ABSTRACT
At the present time one of the tasks of modern agricultural industry consists in obtaining the ecologically safe and clean products. Contamination of soils with heavy metals due to an anthropogenic impact drives up their content in the composition of plant products. This shapes not only a reduction in crop yields, but also a deterioration in products quality. Within the terms of vegetation research in soil culture, there has been studied the protective and stimulating effect of sodium selenite upon the adaptive capacity of spring wheat plants of the variety Zlata under conditions of oxidative stress due to the soil contamination with cadmium. There has been studied the effect of different methods of sodium selenite application on the yield of spring wheat and the plants photosynthetic activity, depending on the level of soil contamination with cadmium. The object of research was a spring wheat variety Zlata. Plants have been cultivated in a greenhouse trial under soil culture conditions in Mitscherlich-vessels with a capacity of 6 kg of soil. Sod-podzolic soil has been used for research. Sodium selenite was introduced in three ways: pre-sowing seed treatment, foliar treatment of vegetative plants at the beginning of stage VI of organogenesis - the end of the tillering phase - the beginning of the stem-extension phase and the application of a salt solution into the soil when packing the vessels. The control samples represented variants without sodium selenite. To assess the plants photosynthetic productivity, there has been determined the chlorophyll content in plant leaves. The research results made it possible to determine the protective effect of sodium selenite on the adaptive capacity of plants under conditions of oxidative stress due to the soil contamination with cadmium. The increase in the adaptive capacity of plants manifested itself through the decrease in yield diminishing due to the improvement of conditions for fertile florets and ear initiations on the vegetative apex, as well as the development of flowers into grains, which contributed to increase in the grain content of the spike. The stimulating effect of selenium on the intensity of photosynthetic processes has been revealed, which showed not only the increase of chlorophylls content, but also the ratio changes of chlorophylls a and b.

Atualmente, uma das tarefas da indústria agrícola moderna consiste em obter produtos ecologicamente seguros e limpos. A contaminação dos solos com metais pesados devido ao impacto antrópico aumenta o seu conteúdo na composição dos produtos vegetais. Isto molda não apenas uma redução no rendimento das colheitas, mas a deterioração da qualidade dos produtos. No âmbito da investigação da vegetação em cultura do solo, estudou-se o efeito protetor e estimulante do selenito de sódio sobre a capacidade adaptativa de plantas de trigo de primavera da variedade Zlata em condições de stress oxidativo devido à contaminação do solo com cádmio. Tem sido estudado o efeito de diferentes métodos de aplicação de selenito de sódio na produtividade do trigo de primavera e na atividade fotossintética das plantas, dependendo do nível de contaminação do solo com cádmio. O objeto de pesquisa foi uma variedade de trigo de primavera Zlata. As plantas foram cultivadas em um teste de estufa sob condições de cultura do solo em vasos Mitscherlich com capacidade para 6 kg de solo. Solo sod-podzólico tem sido usado para pesquisa. O selenito de sódio foi introduzido de três maneiras: tratamento de sementes pré-semeadura, tratamento foliar de plantas vegetativas no início da fase VI da organogênese - final da fase de perfilhamento - início da fase de extensão do caule e aplicação de solução salina no solo ao embalar os vasos. As amostras de controle representaram variantes sem selenito de sódio. Para avaliar a produtividade fotossintética das plantas, determinou-se o teor de clorofila nas folhas das plantas. Os resultados da pesquisa permitiram determinar o efeito protetor do selenito de sódio sobre a capacidade adaptativa de plantas em condições de estresse oxidativo devido à contaminação do solo com cádmio. O aumento da capacidade adaptativa das plantas se manifestou pela diminuição do rendimento diminuindo devido à melhoria das condições para floretes férteis e iniciações de espigas no ápice vegetativo, bem como o desenvolvimento de flores em grãos, o que contribuiu para o aumento do grão conteúdo da espiga. O efeito estimulante do selênio na intensidade dos processos fotossintéticos foi revelado, o que mostrou não apenas o aumento do teor de clorofilas, mas também as mudanças na proporção de clorofilas a e b.

The use of phytoregulators is a modern way of producing crops to increase yields and product quality. The components of phytoregulators have a beneficial effect on the growth and development of plants and help to withstand unfavorable environmental factors, stress, lack of mineral nutrition, soil fatigue, and the action of a wide range of pesticides. The research is aimed to investigate the influence of three phytoregulators: Cherkaz, Floravit, EcoFus on two varieties of flax: Severny and LM 98. We conducted a 3-year, field experiment with flax. In the so-called herringbone stage of the plant growth, the flax seedlings were treated the investigated phytoregulators. Flax plants were analyzed for yields. The method of near-infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze the content of lipids and proteins in flax seeds after harvesting. The oil content in flax seeds was determined. Using chromatography, we analyzed each variant of the experiment from the point of view of fatty acid composition. The application of phytoregulators increased the seed yield by 14-19% and the short fiber yield by 9-20% relative to control. The protein content in the seeds of the experimental samples Floravit and Cherkaz increased by 2.3-2.5% and by 1.5% in the experiments with EcoFus relative to the control. The lipid content in flax seeds increased by 5-5.6% (Floravit), by 3.5-3.95% (EcoFus), and by 4.7-5.1% (Cherkaz) relative to control. The oil ratio in flax seeds of the LM 98 and Severny varieties averaged 35.5-45.5%. An increase in the oil yields was 2.8-6.9% for Floravit, 2-4.1% for EcoFus, and 4.4-4.9% for Cherkaz relative to control. The application of Floravit, Cherkaz and EkoFus in flaxseed cultivation contributed to an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids in oil: the content of ω-3 fatty acids ranged 61.90-63.10% compared to control 54.70%. Floravit proved to be the most effective of the three tested phytoregulators. The studies carried out over three years allow us to conclude that the use of new phytoregulators contributes to an increase in the quality and flaxseed yield and the flax fiber yield. Floravit was the most effective preparation and can be used for pre-sowing seed treatment and during the growing season.

O uso de fitorreguladores é uma maneira moderna de produzir culturas para aumentar a produtividade e a qualidade do produto. Os componentes dos fitorreguladores têm um efeito benéfico no crescimento e desenvolvimento das plantas e ajudam a suportar fatores ambientais desfavoráveis, estresse, falta de nutrição mineral, fadiga do solo e ação de uma gama de pesticidas. A pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a influência de três fitorreguladores, Cherkaz, Floravit e EcoFus, em duas variedades de linho: Severny e LM 98. Realizamos um experimento de campo de três anos com o linho. No chamado estágio de espinha de peixe do crescimento da planta, as mudas de linho foram tratadas com os fitorreguladores investigados. As plantas de linho foram analisadas quanto à produtividade. O método de espectroscopia no infravermelho próximo foi utilizado para analisar o conteúdo de lipídios e proteínas em sementes de linho após a colheita. O teor de óleo nas sementes de linho foi determinado. Usando cromatografia, analisamos cada variante do experimento do ponto de vista da composição de ácidos graxos. A aplicação de fitorreguladores aumentou o rendimento de sementes em 14-19% e o rendimento de fibra curta em 9-20% em relação ao controle. O teor de proteína nas sementes das amostras experimentais Floravit e Cherkaz aumentou em 2,3-2,5% e em 1,5% nos experimentos com EcoFus em relação ao controle. O teor de lipídios nas sementes de linho aumentou 5-5,6% para Floravit, 3,5-3,95% para EcoFus e 4,7-5,1% para Cherkaz em relação ao controle. A proporção de óleo nas sementes de linho das variedades LM 98 e Severny foi de 35,5 a 45,5%. Um aumento nos rendimentos do petróleo foi de 2,8-6,9% para Floravit, 2-4,1% para EcoFus e 4,4-4,9% para Cherkaz em relação ao controle. A aplicação de Floravit, Cherkaz e EkoFus no cultivo de linhaça contribuiu para o aumento dos ácidos graxos poli-insaturados no óleo: o teor de ácidos graxos ω-3 variou de 61,90 a 63,10% em comparação com o controle (54,70%). Floravit provou ser o mais eficaz dos três fitorreguladores testados. Os estudos realizados ao longo de três anos permitem concluir que o uso de novos fitorreguladores contribui para o aumento da qualidade e do rendimento da linhaça e do rendimento da fibra de linho. Floravit foi o medicamento mais eficaz e pode ser usado para o tratamento de sementes pré-semeadura e durante a estação de crescimento.
