ABSTRACT
Glasshouse experiments were carried out in Institute of Plant Protection in Poznań. The aim of these trials was to determine an influence of seaweed extracts (Ecklonia maxima - Kelpak SL and Saragassum spp - Algaminoplant) and humic (12%) and fulvic (6%) acids mixture (Humiplant) on early growth and development of winter rape depending on method of application. Trials involved soaking of seeds in aquaous solution of seaweed extracts and humic substances, soaking seeds and than foliar application and finally two foliar applications. Results shows different action of tested substances on winter oilseed rape depending on application method. Seaweed extracts stronger induced seed germination than humic substances. Joint seed and foliar application and double foliar application promote shoots and roots growth. Seaweeds and humic acids were not influenced chlorophyll content.
