ABSTRACT
The present experimental work is set as a vessel experiment in a non-heated
greenhouse of department „Plant Production“, Technical University – Varna, with purpose
to be established the role of three biological products (Ekstrasol, Herbagreen, Life Bat
Guano) and one mineral fertilizer (NPK) on chemical and enzyme indexes of soils at growing
of greenhouse cucumbers variety Kiara F
1
.
It is established by the carried out analyzes, that the biological fertilizers leave the
soil well stored with total phosphorus and potassium, as the highest results are reported at
usage of Ekstrasol. The highest values of total nitrogen are registered at the variants with
mineral fertilizing. The catalase activity is higher at the combined fertilized soils with NPK +
Herbagreen, Ekstrasol + Herbagreen and Life Bat Guano + Herbagreen in comparison with
the controls and the samples, fertilized only with one product (NPK, Ekstrasol and Life Bat
Guano). The bringing in of fertilizers increases the activity of the enzyme cellulase at all
fertilized soils in comparison with the controls, as this tendency correlates with the increased
content of nutrient elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium after the adding of the
fertilizer products. The activity and of both enzymes may serve as a sensitive bioindicator at
fertilized soils.

1. INTRODUCТION
During the last years the interest towards the greenhouse production of vegetables
increases. It occupies hardly 0,4% from all areas, on which are grown vegetables. Thanks to
its high intensity of production, the Bulgarian greenhouse production provides 15-17% from
