. The research investigated the influence of compost-based substrates on plant growth and development over 25 days. The study utilized compost from the Lviv municipal enterprise “Green City”, which consisted of garden and park waste (leaves, branches, and mowed grass), as well as food waste from city residents and organic food waste from manufacturing enterprises. The composting process was conducted in a designated area under controlled conditions. A mixture of compost, peat, soil, sand, and clay, mixed in various ratios, was used to prepare the substrate.

The work investigated the effect of encapsulated mineral fertilizers on the growth and development of plants for 45 days. As a mineral fertilizer, nitroammophoska was used, which was encapsulated by a shell of different compositions: sample KD1 – a mixture of polystyrene, lignin, and carbon; sample KD2 – a mixture of polystyrene, lignin, and zeolite. The bioindication method was used to determine the effect of encapsulated mineral fertilizers on plant growth kinetics.
