The study evaluated the effects of plant growth promotor Agro-Sorb Folium and foliar fertilizers Agro-Sorb L-Amino+ and Agro-Sorb Radiculum on the development of pansy leaf anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum violae-tricoloris. Agro-Sorb Folium and Agro-Sorb L-Amino+ were applied 6 times at 7-day intervals in a greenhouse conditions at the concentrations of 0.25, 0.5 and 1%. Their efficacy ranged from 48 to 61.7% and 40 to 61.7%, respectively. Higher concentrations of the tested products increased their effectiveness. Agro-Sorb Radiculum used as a foliar treatment at 0.5% displayed an efficacy of approximately 57%. The fertilizers Agro-Sorb L-Amino+ and Agro-Sorb Radiculum applied 6 times as watering plants, showed an efficacy from 67% to 70.2% and from 57.5% to 65%, respectively. All the tested products used for spraying or watering caused significant stimulation of the growth of pansy plants. None of the tested products caused changes in the appearance of the plants (phytotoxicity).

Oceniano wpływ stymulatora wzrostu roślin Agro-Sorb Folium, nawozów dolistnych Agro-Sorb L-Amino+ oraz Agro-Sorb Radiculum, stosowanych 6-krotnie co 7 dni do opryskiwania bratka ogrodowego uprawianego w szklarni, na rozwój objawów chorobowych powodowanych przez Colletotrichum violae-tricoloris. Agro-Sorb Folium oraz Agro-Sorb L-Amino+ stosowano w stężeniu 0,25, 0,5 oraz 1%. Ich skuteczność wynosiła odpowiednio od 48 do 61,7% oraz 40 do 61,7%. Wzrost stężenia badanych środków powodował zwiększenie ich skuteczności. Agro-Sorb Radiculum w stężeniu 0,5% zastosowany do opryskiwania bratka, wykazywał około 57% skuteczność. Nawozy Agro-Sorb L-Amino+ oraz Agro-Sorb Radiculum po 6-krotnym podlaniu bratka wykazywały skuteczność odpowiednio od 67 do 70,2% oraz 57,5 do 65%. Wszystkie badane środki stosowane do opryskiwania lub podlewania powodowały istotną stymulację wzrostu krzewów bratka. Żaden z badanych środków nie powodował zmian w wyglądzie bratka (fitotoksyczności).
