Summary
Implemented technology of production of a microbiological preparation for protection of vegetable and green cultures from diseases in low-capacity hydroponics conditions.
Description
Biopesticide “Ecogreen” is worked out on the basis of bacteria Pseudomonas aurantiaca БИМ В-446 strain which is fungicidally active to such fungi as Fusarium sp., Botrytis cinerea, Pythium sp., Colletotrichum lagenarium, Alternaria cucumerina, Rhizoctonia solani incitant of diseases of cucumber, parsley and dill grown according to the hydroponic method.
Technology type
Technical advantages and economic benefits
The advantage of the proposed technology is its wastelessness and cheap raw material. The application of biopesticide “Ecogreen” while growing cucumbers according to the low-capacity hydroponics ensures yield increase by 9,2-10,3% and acquisition of 58000 $/hа net profit.
Technology differentiation and uniqueness
Biopesticide “Ecogreen” can be used for application into nutrient solution as well as for treatment of vegetating plants in low-capacity hydroponics conditions which makes it possible to provide more entire plant protection. “Ecogreen” preparation with its biological efficiency excels renowned analogs in protection of vegetable and green cultures against diseases.
Context in which technology was identified
Biopesticide “Ecogreen” was used for protection of vegetable and green cultures in Unitary Enterprise “Minsk Hothouse Enterprise”.
