Abstract
This research was carried out to analyse the effect of diverse types of fertilisers on the morphological
features of pansy seedlings (Viola x wittrockiana Gams.), as well as to decide on the most appropriate
concentration of fertiliser in order to obtain the highest seedlings quality. Two different types of liquid
fertilisers were used in this experiment - Magnicvet and Magnihortal with six treatments. Each
treatment comprised 30 plants or a total of 180 plants in the experiment were used. 30 plants per
treatment were measured, 50 days after planting into plastic containers. The following biometric
parameters were analysed: plant height (mm), stem thickness (mm), number of branches and number
of flower buds. Measurements of biometric parameters showed that the liquid mineral fertiliser
Magnihortal with NPK 10-5-5 + micro elements is more appropriate as compared with the liquid
mineral fertiliser Magnicvet with NPK 7-1-5 + micro elements concerning the reinforced nutrition and
eventually the enhanced quality of Viola x wittrockiana Gams. seedlings. Treatment V (Magnihortal
0.3 %) showed the highest average height of seedlings, average stem thickness and average number of
branches, while the treatment VI (Magnihortal 0.4 %) showed the highest average number of flower
buds.
