Pesticides and Alternative Biological Solutions
Pesticides (from Latin pestis — "plague" and caedo — "to kill") are chemical agents for combating harmful or undesirable microorganisms, plants, and animals.
The presence of pesticides in environmental objects (in soil, water, atmosphere, food products), their chemical stability, and ability to accumulate in the human body poses a serious threat to health.
Scientists have established that the first pesticides were not created by humans.
Plants, in the course of competing for better territories, began producing organic substances that negatively affect other plants and insects.
Some of them, when entering the human body, can even cause cancer.
Today we suggest considering the Microbiological fertilizer "Biogor" of the "KM" series. We will answer such questions as: what problems does the preparation solve? Why should it be used?
We often encounter irrational use of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, observe soil erosion, runoff of the fertile soil layer into water bodies, leaching of fertilizers, contamination of agricultural products that end up on the consumer's table.
All of this ultimately constitutes factors affecting human life and health.
To address these problems, new biologically active preparations are being introduced. This is an important factor in the production of agricultural products, improving their quality, and an indicator of the transition from traditionally chemical methods and approaches to fighting for high yields to a more effective, progressive land use approach.
The use of Microbiological fertilizer "Biogor" of the "KM" series is an example of using a new preparation in the crop production sector!
Let us begin with the fact that "Biogor" of the "KM" series is a microbiological fertilizer — it represents a community of beneficial microorganisms possessing probiotic, cellulolytic, nitrogen-fixing, and phosphate-mobilizing properties.
The fertilizer is produced by a microbiological method and contains microorganisms and their metabolic products (low-molecular-weight organic acids and their salts, enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, and other biologically active substances), carbohydrates, micro- and macroelements (nutrient media elements for microorganisms).
The fertilizers contain a set of necessary growth factors for microorganisms and a certain amount of microelements in chelated form.
Microorganisms have been introduced that convert insoluble mineral salts, primarily phosphates, into soil solutions. A significant feature is the increased bactericidal activity provided by a specialized strain of microorganisms.
The preparation not only effectively fulfills the task of providing plants with all necessary nutrients but also uses natural mechanisms to enhance soil fertility.
By saturating the soil with biologically active substances, "Biogor" of the "KM" series provides plants with all the elements necessary for their growth and vital activity — elements that simply cannot be recreated artificially.
Thanks to the activity of live bacteria and microorganisms within them, plants gain access not merely to individual micro- and macroelements. They protect plants, improve and qualitatively transform soils, ensuring the restoration of natural fertility and biological environment.
In the deep layers of soil, the fertilizer serves as a "bioactivator," as it initiates the process of substance fixation or converts hard-to-dissolve mineral compounds into soluble forms accessible to plants.
Advantages of using microbiological fertilizer "Biogor" of the "KM" series:
- environmental friendliness: microbiological, natural composition. The fertilizer will not harm the ecosystem and creates conditions conducive to restoring natural soil fertility and normal soil microbiocenosis structure;
- reliable composition: over twenty years of production experience, continuously improving fertilizer production technology; quality control of the manufacturing process and finished products; field-proven effectiveness by agricultural producers, private farms, farming enterprises, and garden communities;
- effectiveness: shortens harvest ripening time by 10-15 days and increases yields by 20-40%; when applying the fertilizer, leaching and other types of macronutrient losses that plants fail to absorb are eliminated;
- cost-efficiency: high effectiveness and concentration of microorganisms and beneficial substances allow for economical use of the microbiological fertilizer;
- safety: harmless and non-toxic, does not form toxic or fire- and explosion-hazardous compounds in the presence of other substances in the air or wastewater.
"The only means of keeping a state independent from anyone is agriculture. Even if you possess all the riches in the world, if you have nothing to eat, you depend on others... Trade creates wealth, but agriculture provides freedom."
