Effect of Fungal Infection and the Application of the Biological Agent EM 1™ on the Rate of Photosynthesis and Transpiration in Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) Leaves
Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: A b s t r a c t Field experiments conducted during the years 2003-2005 showed that the rate of photosynthesis and transpiration decreased as a result of pea infection by Peronospora viciae. Foliar application of effective microorganisms (EM) combined with chemical control increased the rate of photosyn-thesis in pea, while other methods of EM application reduced net photosynthesis values (An). Chemical control and seed dressing with the tested biological agent caused a significant decrease in molar transpiration (E) values, compared to the control treatment. Soil application of EM contributed to inhibiting fungal pathogen infestation on pea plants. K e y w o r d s: rate of photosynthesis, rate of transpiration, fungal pathogens, biological control.
