Biostimulant application in transplants production of Allium Sativum L. and Rosa Canina L.

Advantages of in vitro propagation of some vegetable and flower transplants is that can be started with very little amount of plant material that represents initial explants, which is very important in the protection of endangered and rare species. Slavonian winter garlic is an old, indigenous variety of garlic grown on Slavonia and Baranya fields, east Croatia. Today, unfortunately, due to the introduction of foreign varieties into production, lack of local seed source, the increasing commercialization of vegetable production and the depopulation of rural areas, large part of the local varieties of garlic may be lost forever. Method of in vitro propagation provides a rapid propagation and large number of plants as a single mother plant can produce up to several thousand of seedlings. Aim of this study was to investigate the influence of biostimulant on adaptation of garlic and wild rose in vitro seedlings. In vitro transplants of Allium sativum L. and Rosa canina L. were transplanted in commercial substrate and treated with biostimulant Radifarm® by watering. Influence of biostimulant had positive effect on shoot number and root weight. Investigation shows how biostimulant application in Rosa canina and Allium sativum transplants production improves growth and development of root and above-ground mass which is important for faster plant adaptation on stress during transplanting.
