The aim of the study conducted between 2017 and 2019 is to evaluate the influence of the herbicide stress caused by imitation of "mistaken" treatment of the ExpressSun® sunflower hybrid P 64 LE 25 with imazamox to the leaf N, P and K content of plants before flowering stage. Treatments of the experiment were: 1. Untreated control; 2. Pulsar® Plus - 2.00 l ha-1 (25 g/l imazamox); 3. Pulsar® Plus - 2.00 l ha-1 + Amino Expert Impuls - 3.00 l ha-1 (biostimulant). The herbicide was applied in 4th - 6th true leaf stage of the crop. At treatment 3, biostimulant was applied four days after the herbicide intervention. An increase in the leaf N content after the medicative biostimulant application average for the period was found. No influence of the "mistaken" treatment on the P content in the leaves was recorded. The plants treated "mistakenly" with Pulsar® Plus (2.00 l ha-1 ) had increased K levels in the leaves. This increased K content was probably due to high abiotic stress. K, in turn, helps the plants to overcome the stressful conditions to some extent.
