EFFECT OF TREPTOLEM ON MORPHOGENESIS, YIELD AND QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF WHITE MUSTARD PLANTS

Abstract

The influence of treptolem on morphogenesis, crop yield and qualitative characteristics of oil from white mustard cv. Oslav is studied. It is found that the treatment of white mustard plants with treptolem led to an increase in linear size, stem thickening, increasing the number and area of leaves.The formation of a powerful photosynthetic apparatus has caused enlarged yields of white mustard plants.It is established that the application of exogenous growth stimulant influenced the fruit formation, led to positive changes in the crop structure, increasing the number of pods on the plant. At the same time the mass of one thousand seeds and the number of seeds in the pod increased. It resulted in the increase in the productivity of white mustard culture. The use of treptolem led to an increase in the oil content in mustard seeds and improved its quality.Under the action of the preparation, the iodine number, saponification number, as well as the acid number decreased, which is an indicator of higher oil quality.
