The influence of 3-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-yl)-4-phenylaminobutanoic acid sodium salt on summer rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) yield and oil quality

Abstract

The influence of the biological activity of various concentrations of 3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-4-phenylaminobutanoic sodium salt on summer rapeseed was studied by the laboratory screening in vitro and in field conditions. It was determined that the study compound stimulated rapeseed growth, increased their yield and had a positive effect on the oil quality. This compound increased plant biomass in vitro and root length by 2 mg/l. In the field trials, rapeseed seedlings were sprayed with a 100 mg/l solution, and the number of siliques and the weight of seeds were found to be increased. When seedlings were sprayed with 125 mg/l solution of the compound, the content of oil increased. The content of flavonoids and the radical scavenging activity were highest when seedlings were sprayed with a 75 mg/l solution of the compound.
