“…Studies done by Radkowski et al, (2015) demonstrated that an increase in the Phleum pratense L. yield after Tytanit application was due to its influence on plant morphological parameters. The authors found that the highest dose (0.8 dm 3 ha −1 ) contributed to an increase in the length of stems, florescence, and leaf blades of this species, leading to 19.5% yield growth.…”

“…Therefore, new effective methods and environmentally friendly solutions are needed to improve the health and quality of plants ( Ilieva and Vasileva, 2013 , Janas et al, 2013 , Serrano et al, 2004 , Szparaga et al, 2018 , Kocira et al, 2019 , Vasileva et al, 2017 ). One of such biostimulants is Tytanit ( Godlewska and Ciepiela, 2018 , Malinowska and Kalembasa, 2012 , Radkowski and Radkowska, 2013 , Radkowski et al, 2015 , Wadas and Kalinowski, 2017a ), the active ingredient of which is titanium (Ti). This chemical element is a micronutrient having a positive effect on plant biochemistry, supporting processes leading to an acceleration of plant growth and to an increase in the production of biomass ( Kužel et al, 2003 , Lyu et al, 2017 , Radkowski and Radkowska, 2010 ).…”

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of different doses of Tytanit as a biostimulant on the yield and nutritional value of Medicago × varia T. Martin and Trifolium pratense L. It was assumed that titanium application during any life cycle of alfalfa hybrid and red clover would contribute to their growth, digestibility, and total protein content. In addition, it was expected that increasing doses of Tytanit up to 0.6 dm 3 ha −1 would improve the yield and quality of forage plants. Different doses of Tytanit in different ways affected the yield. However, the largest dose of 0.6 dm 3 turned out to be the most effective. It contributed to a 38% increase in the yield of hybrid alfalfa and to a 31% increase in the red clover yield. Individual doses of Tytanit in different ways affected accumulation of protein and crude fibre in the dry matter. Used at 0.4 and 0.6 dm 3 doses it increased the amounts of protein and crude fibre relative to control. The smallest dose had no significant effect on these parameters. Tytanit did not improve dry matter digestibility, and there was no statistically significant variation as a result of its application. Foliar application of the biostimulant resulted in an increase in the concentration of phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium in plant dry matter. High content of calcium in the plant species before Tytanit application increased further as a response to 0.2 and 0.4 dm 3 doses, with a slight increase in the ratio of K: (Ca + Mg) and an excessive growth of the Ca: P ratio, which reduced hybrid alfalfa and red clover nutritional values. Thus, Tytanit doses used in the experiment significantly increased hybrid alfalfa and red clover yields, but the nutritional value of the plants did not improve.

“…Janas [36] showed that in the cultivation of onion for seed production, treated plants demonstrated a higher seed yield and a better quality and health status after foliar spraying with that compound compared to nontreated plants. Similarly, Radkowski et al [37] obtained a higher yield, thousand-grain weight, and germination capacity of timothy seeds due to foliar application of the titanium organic complex.…”

Optimal weather conditions are necessary for the proper course of the flowering process and high activity of pollinators, which is the most important factor affecting pollination. Because weather conditions do not always favour effective pollination and because pollinators’ activities are decreasing, the application of compound stimulating pollination and fertilization may be a good perspective for increasing yield. Titanium is considered a beneficial element for plants. Preliminary studies have indicated the positive effect of titanium organic complex on pollen adhesion to the stigma and pollen germination on the stigma of tomato and cucumber. Therefore, a 2-year experiment was designed to determine the effect of titanium organic complex application on the pollination process and fruit development of apple cv. Topaz (Malus domestica Borkh.) The experiment demonstrated the positive effect of titanium organic complex on fertilization of ovules because of effective pollination, seed setting, and fruit development of apple. Application of titanium organic complex improved pollen adhesion to the stigma and pollen germination on the stigma. In addition, titanium organic complex increased the number of pollen tubes growing through the pistil style, which resulted in fertilization that was more effective, as confirmed by the higher number of seeds set in fruits. Higher numbers of seeds set in fruits positively affected their weight and size. Therefore, fruit harvested from trees to which titanium organic complex was applied were characterized by greater weight, length, and diameter compared to fruits obtained from the trees to which titanium organic complex was not applied.

“…Titanium (Ti) is one of a plant biostimulators and presence of Ti in plant tissues improves plant enzyme activities, particularly those involved in the photosynthesis redox processes( as nitrate reductase, lipoxygenase, peroxidase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase). Plant supplementation with Ti stimulates their chlorophyll content, growth, pollination, fruit and seed formation (Radkowski et al, 2015).…”

ABSTEACTTwo field experiments were carried out in El-Gemmeiza Agricultural Research Station Agricultural Research Center, El-Gharbiya Governorate in 2016 and 2017 seasons to study the effect of foliar application with bentonite (times of application and rates) on leaf chemical composition, plant growth, earliness traits, fiber quality and yield of Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.), Giza 86 cultivar. A split-plot design with three replicates was used. The main plots included three intervals at (squaring stage and flowering initiation), at (flowering initiation and the top of flowering) and at (squaring stage, flowering initiation and the top of flowering). The sub plots involved four rates of bentonite; (control "without application", spraying with 2, 3 and 4 kg bentonite/fed). The important results could be summarized as follow: Times of foliar application with bentonite gave significant effect on nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, chlorophyll (a), (b), total chlorophyll and carotenoids concentrations in cotton leaves, in favor of foliar application with bentonite three times (at squaring stage, at flowering initiation and at the top of flowering). Leaves concentrations of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, chlorophyll (a), (b), total chlorophyll and carotenoids significantly increased with foliar application of 3kg bentonite /fed as compared with the other rates.The interaction between times of bentonite as foliar spraying and its rates had significant effect on chlorophyll (a), (b), total chlorophyll and carotenoids concentrations in cotton leaves, where foliar spraying with 3kg bentonite per fed three times (at squaring stage, at flowering initiation and at the top of flowering) produced the highest values of these traits. While, leaves N, P and K concentrations did not affect by this interaction. Times of application did not affect plant height and number of fruiting branches/ plant at harvest in both seasons. Bentonite at the rate of 2kg/fed significantly increased cotton growth parameters, i.e., plant height and number of fruiting branches/ plant at harvest as compared with the high rate of betonies(4kg/fed) in both seasons. The interaction significantly affected these two traits in the first season only, where the highest values of cotton growth parameters, i.e., plant height and number of fruiting branches/ plant were, generally, recorded with foliar application of bentonite at the rate of 2kg/fed three times(at squaring stage, at flowering initiation and at the top of flowering). However, the lowest values were recorded with foliar application of bentonite at the rate of 4kg/fed three times (at squaring stage, at flowering initiation and at the top of flowering).Times of foliar application with bentonite gave insignificant effect on earliness traits (numbers of total flowers and total bolls / plant, boll setting % and boll shedding %) in both seasons.Bentonite at the rate of 2kg/fed and at the rate of 3kg/fed significantly increased earliness traits (numbers of total flowers and total bolls / plant a...
