BIOTECHNOLOGY for growing SPRING GRAIN CROPS

     Russian scientists and agriculture experts have developed a BIOTECHNOLOGY for the production of food and forage summer grain crops that largely surpasses by its efficiency and cost/benefit ratio all conventional mineral fertilizers, chemical protectants and growth stimulators. THE BIOTECHNOLOY includes application of different types of Risobakt (SP), which due to: 1) activization of nitrogen extraction, by rhiso-bacteria, from the ambient air, 2) degrading hard-to-consume soil compounds of phosphorus, potassium and microelements down to forms easily consumable by plants, 3) release of natural antibiotics and growth stimulators – helps provide a comprehensively balanced plant nutrition and protection from disease during the whole vegetation period, as contrasted with the disjointed, non-concerted interventions only possible with conventional technologies.

BENEFITS OF THE BIOTECHNOLOGY

1). It accelerates sprouting and development of the root system of plants, improves general tillering capacity:

  • No chemical stress upon corcules during seed treatment, which increases seedling vigour by 2-3 days.
  • Coleoptiles’ width increased by 2-3 cm, which helps the plant to form a stronger flag-leaf.
  • Formation of "fluffy" roots covered in tiny thin fibers, which increases plants’ drought tolerance.

2). Ensures yield capacity at the rate of 30-50 metric centners per hectare, with 24-30% of gluten and 20-25 % of protein:

  • Productive tillering capacity increased by 2-3 stalks, the number of grains in a head larger by 5-6 pcs.
  • Suppressed are such diseases as root rot, septoria, snow rot, rust, false mildew, dark mildew of spikes, glume mold of rye, etc.
  • Formation of a stronger culm, which reduces the risk of mass lodging 2 or even 3-fold.
3). Increased yields and gluten/protein content are linked to an increase of the content of easily consumable organic matter in soil up to 5 metric tons per hectare.

The efficiency of the biotechnology is higher on fields where plough-pan is absent or weak. Destruction of the plough-pan (by deep tillage, chiseling, or paraploughing) improves soil aeration and activates the migration of total unavailable forms of nutritive elements to be transformed by Risobakt SP into available ones.
