Abstract

The field experiment in the village of Trębanów in Świętokrzyskie province, Poland was conducted during the period 2018–2020. The aim of the research was to determine the plants morphological characteristics, size and yields structure and the essential oil content and yield depending on the application of biostimulants in integrated production of sweet marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) Natural biostimulants such as: Viva (2 dm3‧ha–1); Stimplex (1,5 dm3‧ha–1); Megafol (1,5 dm3‧ha–1); Kendal (1 dm3‧ha–1) were used twice as foliar application.

Results indicated that application of the preparations contributed to better plant growing, stimulated forming of aboveground parts and increased raw material yields by 6.8–16.4%. In the three-year research period, Stimplex and Viva application appeared to be the most efficient. There was also an interaction between years and preparations. In 2018, Megafol reduced the adverse reactions of plants to water stress, while Kendal – infestation by fungal diseases in 2019. It was shown that the yield and quality of marjoram were variable in the years of the research. Among compared preparations only biostimulant Stimplex increased essential oil contents in marjoram herb.
