Abstract

Analcime is a natural mineral of volcanic origin, which in accordance with previous studies has a positive effect on the functional state of living organisms, stimulates the growth and development of plants, increases their productivity and resistance to biotic and abiotic factors. The influence of the analcime on morphological, biometric and biochemical parameters of seedlings of Schizandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., Actinidia arguta Planch., Lonicera caerulea L., Elaeagnus multiflora Thunb. and Viburnum opulus L. when it is adding to the soil.  It is shown that the exogenous use of the mineral contributes to the growth and development of the root and aboveground system of plants, increases their resistance to adverse abiotic environmental factors. A significant increase of shoots have  V. opulus and E. тultiflora (38% and 76.8% respectively) compared to the control plants. At the same time, the greatest increase in roots was observed among L. caerulea plants (47.1%).  The greatest effect of analcime on growth of roots was noted in the variant with V. opulus, the weight of which was more than 77.6% compared with the control. The addition of mineral into the soil contribute to the increase in the flavonoid content in the leaves of experimental plants and reduce the proline content. The study of the content of flavonoids in the leaves of experimental plants, as one of the indicators of non-specific stress response to drought, has showed that the addition of 50 g/m2 of analcime to soil lead to the increasing of the total content of flavonoids by 3345 % in the leaves of all studied objects. The increasing of  the dose of analcime in the soil to 100 g/m2 area almost did not cause a further increasing of  the amount of flavonoids in the leaves of the studied objects, but on the contrary, there was a slight recession of this indicator by 29 %.

 While soil application of 100 g for the analcime square meter, the content of рroline decreases 1 mmol/g, which indicates a positive anti-stress action of analcime on the seedlings V. opulus. At the same time, species specificity and dose dependence of the mineral action on experimental plants were noted.

The analysis of the results indicates the perspectivity of using analcime to increase the resistance of berry plants to negative environmental factors and stimulate their growth and development for the cultivation of planting material.
