Researches regarding the influence of of some foliar fertilizers on the physiological processes were carried out on Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai plants, Oltenia variety, cultivated in the Oltenia region - Romania. The physiological analyses carried out according to the climatic conditions on June 30th 2023, both for watermelon plants fertilized with Green-Top and also for the watermelon plants in which fertilized have not been performed.
In fertilized plants, compared to non-fertilized plants, it was observed that the intensity of physiological processes has higher values as a result of the application of foliar fertilizer with a positive effect on plants growth and development. In the fertilized plants were recorded higher values of chlorophyll content, thus existing a positive correlation between this content and the photosynthesis intensity. Fertilized plants also had a higher water content and a lower dry matter content, compared to unfertilized plants.
