Abstract

Seed germination and early growth microbiotest PhytotoxkitTM was used in the
experiment, which consisted of 3 independent laboratory experimental series with
one month intervals each and 3 replications. The aim of this study was to evaluate
germination dynamics and capacity as well as selected biometric parameters after
seed treatment with two preparations containing effective microorganisms: EM
Farma (EMF) and EM Farma Plus (EMFP). Sunflower seeds (H. annuus) were
chosen as the experimental material. Seeds soaked in distilled water were control
objects (K) in these experiment. Apart from control (K), reference material was
prepared in the form of two biostimulants: Kelpak SL (KSL) and gibberellic acid
(GA3). The effect of the two biopreparations EM Farma (EMF) and EM Farma Plus
(EMFP) was beneficial related to germination capacity and biometric parameters of
sunflower (H. annuus).
