The concentration of supplied mineral nutrients is one of the most important and limiting factors for enhancing the efficiency of plant nutrition. Optimal concentration of nutrient solutions (NS) provide plants with the necessary amount of nutrients. From this point of view, research on several physicochemical parameters that characterize concentrations of NS and uptake of nutrients by the plants remains an actual problem. The changes of electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) depending on the concentration of biofertilizer as well as the role of biofertilizer solutions on the rooting capacity of cuttings (lateral sprouts) of Callisia fragrans are presented here. The EC and TDS of the biofertilizer-water mixture changed gradually according to the biofertilizer concentration. The biofertilizer solution was a good medium for the rooting of C. fragrans cuttings. The results could help to provide the crops with the necessary amount of mineral nutrients and regulate the suitability of irrigation during the entire vegetation period.
La concentración de los nutrientes minerales suministrados es uno de los factores más importantes y limitantes para mejorar la eficiencia nutritiva de las plantas. La concentración óptima de la disolución nutritiva (DN) proporciona a las plantas la cantidad necesaria de nutrientes. Desde este punto de vista, la investigación sobre varios parámetros fisicoquímicos que caracterizan la concentración de la DN y la absorción de nutrientes por parte de las plantas sigue siendo un problema en la actualidad. Se muestran aquí los cambios de conductividad eléctrica (CE) y de los sólidos disueltos totales (SDT) en función de la concentración del biofertilizante, así como el papel de la disolución del biofertilizante sobre la capacidad de enraizamiento de las estacas (brotes laterales) de Callisia fragrans. Ambos parámetros CE y SDT de la mezcla biofertilizante con agua, cambian gradualmente dependiendo de la concentración del biofertilizante. La solución del biofertilizante fue un buen medio para el enraizamiento de estacas de C. fragrans. Los resultados podrían ayudar a proporcionar a los cultivos la cantidad necesaria de nutrientes y regular la idoneidad del riego durante todo el periodo vegetativo.
