Effects of growth stimulants on the morphological and anatomical characteristics of feed bean plants

Treatment of ‘Pikantni’ feed bean plants at the 10 cm shoot stage with the broad-spectrum growth stimulant Biolane and the semi-synthetic film-forming plant growth regulator N¹-Acetyl-5-Methoxykynuramine (AMK) with antioxidant activity induced significant morphogenetic changes. The agents substantially accelerated the growth of the above-ground biomass, particularly from the branching stage onwards, peaking prior to pod formation. The strongest effects on plant height and the fresh weight of lea
