EFFECT OF DIFFERENT NITROGEN FERTILIZER ON PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF GARDEN CRESS (LEPIDIUM SATIVUML.)

The present investigation was undertaken to examine the influence of the different nitrogen sources on theLepidium sativumL. Two parallel experiments were set up, one with plant nutrient solution (Hoagland type) and one with soil in different water holding capacity. Bio and artificial fertilizer were applied to examine the effect on garden cress in the event of difference between treatments. According to results the bio fertilizer turned out as the best treatment at 50 % water holding capacity in case of soil. In case of artificial fertilizer a correct evaluation can not made caused by miss plant. The vitamin C and chlorophyll content determination were done, too. The highest vitamin C and chlorophyll content was found in case of biofertilizer samples.
