THE EFFECT OF MICROFERTILIZERS AND REGULATORS ON THE ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION OF WHEAT GRAINS

Abstract

Plants have been shown to absorb all elements from the environment (1,2). The uptake of minerals by plants is influenced by a number of factors, including soil properties, metal pedochemistry, and plant physiological characteristics. Under natural conditions, the uptake of minerals is 10 or more times higher than normal (3). Changes in environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity, can cause a decrease or increase in the amount of minerals in plants during their growing season (4). During ontogenesis, their distribution in plant tissues and organs changes (5). Studying the accumulation of minerals in plants is important for assessing the state of plants, the biosphere in general, and for conducting environmental monitoring (6-7).
