Materials used in this chapter were published in the book Biostimulant Albit for
increasing yields and protection of agricultures against diseases, A.K. Zlotnikov, Ed.
Prof. À. Melkumova. All-Russia Institute of Plant Protection, Russia, 2006.
Influence of Albit on eggplants was examined in trials of All-Russia Institute of Vegetable
Selection and Seed Breeding in 2001 on eggplant var. Solyaris . In trials, seedlings
were planted in film greenhouses according to scheme 30x60 cm. After certain period, film
was removed and plant were grown in field conditions. Plot surface was 9 m2,
3 replications were used. Eggplants were harvested in their technical ripeness. Yield in
control set was 0.80 kg/m2. Under influence of Albit, yield of eggplants increased
by 0.26 kg/m2 (32.5%). Foliar sprayings appeared to be more important, since yield
increase in sets with presowing seed treatment only was just 13.8% over control.
