PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS

NE ISTC

Agrobiotech has license of the Ministry of Industrial Policy of Ukraine for manufacture of 13 plant growth regulators (PGRs).

PGRs

are protected by 22 patents of Ukraine, 4 patents of the Russian Federation.

PGRs

are permitted for use (are registered) in:

Ukraine –

13 preparations;

Belarus –

4 preparations;

Kazakhstan –

4 preparations;

Russia –

1 preparation;

China –

1 preparation;

Germany –

1 preparation.

ADVANTAGES

• PGRs

are characterized by high efficiency, low doses of using (10-20 ml per 1 ton of seed or 1 hectare of crops) and ecological

safety (1 m2 of crops gets 1·10-9

g of active substance).

• The technologies of their application coincide with existing agromethods.

• The harvest of the basic agricultures is increased by 15-20 % and the quality of plant products is improved.

• Joint treatment of seed with PGRs

and pesticides allows to reduce the doses of pesticides on 20-30 % without lowering the protective effect.

• New PGRs

decrease the content of radionuclides, ions of heavy metals and nitrates in agricultural production.

• Our PGRs

have antimutagenic

effect.

ADVANTAGES

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

PGRs

are used for pre-sowing treatment of seeds in doses 10-20 ml per 1 ton and for sprinkling of crops in doses 10-20 ml per 1 hectareTheir application costs 2.5-5 USD per 1 hectare.

Application of growth regulators make possible to improve quality of production and to get additional harvest (tones):
