Abstract

The article presents the results of a comparative study of the variability levels of 14 quantitative characteristics of the biochemical composition of Vaccinium corymbosum l. fruits. These results were obtained in field experiments with the addition of growth-promoting preparations – the biological peat oxidate and the microbial Ecoberit—on soils with different fertility levels. It was established that the main contribution to its formation was provided by traits with moderate and high levels of variability. It was shown that increased mineral nutrition of the experimental plants contributed to a decrease in the level of variability in the field experiment for the accumulation of free organic, ascorbic, and hydroxycinnamic acids, the total amount of anthocyanin pigments and bioflavonoids, but an increase in the content of dry matter and tannins, soluble sugars, catechins, and the sugar-acid index. Moreover, soil fertility under the tested agricultural practices had no effect on the variability of pectin content, anthocyanins, leucoanthocyanins, and flavonols. It was found that the accumulation of dry matter and pectin, soluble sugars, and ascorbic acid in fruits demonstrated the greatest resistance to the effects of edaphic factors when using growth stimulants, while the content of tannins, titratable acids, leucoanthocyanins, and the sugar-acid index were considered the least resistant.
