RESOURCE-SAVING BIOLOGIZED AGRICULTURAL METHODS FOR GROWING CEREAL CROPS IN THE TECHNOLOGY OF “DIRECT SOWING”

Abstract

Modern resource-saving technologies such as No-till, lead to an increase in the number of pathogens populations in the soil and an increase in the  frequency of application of chemical plant protection products. The production of biological agents directly in the farms, as well as the use of other low-risk agro-practices, including  methods for reducing herbicides from the group of glyphosates, is an effective way to resolve these problems. Such measures can reduce the cost of production and amount of pesticides application: fungicides by 70%, insecticides by 90-98%, herbicides by 30-40%. The use of the Agrobiovit + Krokus Universal tank mixture was very effective in the treatment of wheat seeds. It is also effective biological protection against root rot of cereal crops by treating them with a tank mixture based on Krokus Universal and Agrobiovit. Such treatment affects not only on plants damaged by root rot, but also improves their biometric parameters, increases the chlorophyll content in the leaves in the tillering phase. To reduce the likelihood of epiphytoties and epizootics in agrobiocenoses, it is necessary to carry out, in addition to the early spring treatment, the introduction of biological agents’complex (which can be carried out simultaneously with the addition of glyphosates under the No-till conditions). In this technology, it is reasonable to use an innovative (Krokus glyphosate) drug to increase the effectivity of glyphosates. Experiments have shown that the use of this method leads to a decrease in the concentration of aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine and tyrosine) already on the 7th day after the treatment of plants (compared to the standard).
