Summary
Environmentally safe technique for producing biostimulants and plant-protecting agents from wastes of starch industry
Description
The technique involves extraction and cleaning from wastes of
starch industry a bioactive product of wide range activity, consisting of amino
acids, peptides, functional proteins, micro-and macro-elements, protein-Pi
protease inhibitors suppressing activity of phytopathogens and extracellular
enzymes of mushrooms.

Technical advantages and economic benefits
In comparison to similar products (peat oxidant, betastimulin, maltamin, agrostimulin, phitolavin, biocal, etc.) the technique is characterized by: 1) Obtainment of products with higher active ingredient content and, consequently, with greater effectiveness; 2) Decrease of cost price due to reprocessing of secondary raw materials; 3) Reduction of environmental pollution due to re-use of processing industries wastes. Use of such products reduces import of biostimulants and chemical weed and pest killers.
Technology differentiation and uniqueness
Environmentally safe technique orientated towards production of biostimulants and plant-protecting agents from wastes of starch industry characterized by low costs of resulting products. The products can be used for increase in productivity and quality of agricultural, decorative and medicinal plants. They can be used in greenhouses, orangeries, agrarian, countrified farm units and by large agricultural producers.
