Abstract

Field studies were conducted from 2016 to 2019 (south-eastern Poland; 49°58′40.6″ N 22°33′11.3″ E) with the aim to identify the chemical composition of winter wheat grain upon foliar application of biostimulants, of which PlanTonic BIO (containing nettle and willow extracts) showed antifungal activity. The main chemical compositions and their spatial distribution in wheat grain were characterized by Raman spectroscopy technique. It was established that applied biostimulants and hydro-thermal conditions changed the chemical composition of the grain during all the studied years. A similar chemical composition of the grain was achieved in plants treated with synthetic preparations, including both intensive and extensive variants. The second group, in terms of an increase in fatty acid content, consists of grains of plants treated with biostimulants PlanTonic BIO, PlanTonic BIO + Natural Crop and PlanTonic BIO + Biofol Plex. The future of using biostimulants in crop production, including those containing salicylic acid and nettle extracts, appears to be a promising alternative to synthetic crop protection products.
