Abstract

The protective effect of two chitosan complexes with biologically active substances was studied on wheat for the period 2016–2020. Chitosan I included a 0.1% chitosan solution of Chitosan mM 100 kDa and Chitosan mM 50 kDa (1 : 1), succinic acid, glutamic acid, and 0.025% salicylic acid. Chitosan II included a 0.1% chitosan solution, Chitosan mM 50kDa, succinic acid, glutamic acid, 0.0015% indolylacetic acid, and 0.1% chitosan salicylate mM 60 kDa containing 25% ion-bound fragments of salicylic acid. The complexes Chitosan I and Chitosan II significantly reduced wheat damage by brown rust and septoria–pyrenophorous spotting, and a decrease in the development of powdery mildew was noted in the Chitosan I variant. Chitosan salicylate (0.1%) reduced the degree of root-rot damage to wheat by 79% and yellow rust by 29.1%; suppressed the development of powdery mildew; increased the yield by 32.8%; and caused a 55.6% increase in indices of wheat growth, development, productivity, and yield. The complexes Chitosan I and Chitosan II had a positive impact on 11.1 and 27.8% of the wheat productivity indices.
