Abstract
Studied in the experiment were the following components of cultivation technology for black currant: maintaining the soil
between rows as black fallow or grassed; maintaining the rows as black fallow, mulched with straw or covered with polyethylene
mulch film; foliar dressing in the budding stage with liquid suspended organic fertiliser Riverm at the concentrations of 1, 3
or 5% against the background of complete mineral fertiliser N60P90K90. According to the results of the research, it was found
that the best growth and development of black currant plants was for maintaining the soil between rows as black fallow and
maintaining the rows mulched with straw. Such practices activate the soil microbiota and facilitate the availability of nutrients
to plants. Mulching with straw effectively protects against weeds, prevents damage to plants by tillage tools, and does not
prevent rainfall from entering the soil. Accordingly, the best indicators of the maximum number of bunches of black currant
(604) fruit number per bush (1315) were obtained in the treatment with maintaining the rows as black fallow and the use of
fertiliser N 60P90 K90 (background) + Riverm 5 %. However, the highest fruit weight (1.66−1.74 g) was obtained in the treatment
with maintaining the soil between rows as black fallow, the use of fertiliser background N60Р90K90 + Riverm 3 % or Riverm
5 %. In general, the use of mineral fertilisers along with foliar dressing using Riverm increased the fruit yield in the treatment
with N60P90K90 + Riverm 3 % under maintaining the rows as black fallow and mulching the rows using the straw up to 13.44 t/
ha; for the use of Riverm 5 %, the fruit yield was 13.28 t/ha.
Description
It was found that the best growth and development of black
currant plants was observed under the soil maintenance
between rows as bare fallow and mulching with straw
in rows. Bare fallow activates the soil microbiota and
facilitates the availability of nutrients to plants. Straw
mulch in bush rows is permeable for precipitation,
effectively controls weed germination, and prevents
damage to blackcurrant plants by tillage tools.
The maximum number of bunches of black currant (604)
and the fruit number per bush (1315) were obtained in
the treatment with bare fallow between rows, the use of
fertiliser background(N60P90K90) + Riverm 5%. However,
the best fruit weight (1.66−1.74 g) was in the treatment
with bare fallow between rows, the use of fertiliser
background (N60P90K90) + Riverm 3% or Riverm 5% .
It was found that the use of mineral fertilisers along with
foliar dressing with Riverm increased the fruit yield to
13.44 t/ha in the treatment N60P90K90+ Riverm 3% plus
mulching bush rows with straw, while applying Riverm
5% resulted in the fruit yield of 13.28 t/ha.
