HIGHLIGHTS
- It should be noted that in the available literature there is no research on the effect of biostimulants on the content of carotenoids in potato, which is the main food in the world.
KEYWORDS
TOPICS
ABSTRACT
An application of biostimulants is becoming an increasingly popular operation in agriculture
because they positively affect crop performance and qualitative characteristics, and
prevent stress-related losses. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of an
application of the following biostimulants: PlonoStart, Aminoplant, and Agro-Sorb Folium,
and the herbicide Avatar 293 ZC on total carotenoids in table potato tubers. The research
material consisted of tubers of two table potato cultivars, Oberon and Malaga, which were
produced in a 3-year field experiment. Chemical analyses of fresh material were conducted
4–6 days following harvest. Biostimulants applied with the herbicide significantly increased
the table potato tuber content of carotenoids compared to tubers obtained from unamended
control plots. The highest accumulation of carotenoids was determined following an application
of the biostimulant Agro-Sorb Folium, and it was higher in the tubers of cv. Oberon
versus cv. Malaga. It should be added that in the available literature there is no research on
the effect of biostimulants on the content of carotenoids in potato, which is the main food in
the world. Carotenoids perform many important functions in the human body. They exhibit
antioxidant properties, which means that they protect cells from damage, and also have
a beneficial effect on the immune system. Carotenoids are substances that show an indispensable
effect on the health and appearance of the skin. Regular consumption of them
in the form of vegetables and fruits ensures its firmness, elasticity, smoothness, as well as
a healthy appearance. The protective function of carotenoids against free radicals simultaneously
contributes to slowing down the aging process. This action, in turn, translates into
preventing the development of cancer or diseases of the circulatory system.
