Biotechnology for increasing crop yields and obtaining high-quality organic plant products

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the global economy that ensures food security and public health by producing a wide range of products – sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. However, due to the pursuit of quantity and yield, the latest agricultural tools deplete the soil, lead to its erosion and deflation, which leads to a decrease in the safety and nutritional value of food. Existing farming strategies rely heavily on synthetic pesticides. However, these chemicals are often highly resistant in the environment, which leads to their accumulation in soil, water and food, causing damage to ecosystems and human health. Moreover, the excessive use of chemical pesticides has led to the formation of resistance of phytopathogens, disruption of the natural composition of the soil microbiota, which plays a major role in the process of soil formation, plant nutrition and soil sanitation. According to current data, >1.0 million hectares – annual losses of fertile soils; > 20 billion rubles. – damage from soil erosion and ~50% of the food produced reaches consumers in poor quality or does not reach it at all. These losses not only mean huge economic losses, but also represent a significant environmental burden based on the loss of resources spent. And a decrease in the nutritional value of the plant food obtained causes a shortage of appropriate nutrition elements in the population, which is one of the reasons for the deterioration of general health and the increase in the prevalence of so-called diseases of civilization. In such circumstances, it becomes obvious that there is a need to rethink the approach to agricultural production and move to more environmentally friendly solutions. One of them is the introduction of "green technologies" using environmentally friendly farming methods to improve soil and human health while protecting the environment based on bio-products with a reduction in the use of mineral fertilizers and synthetic pesticides. BashInkom Scientific and Innovation Enterprise LLC is one of the leading biotechnological enterprises in Russia, actively supporting an ecological approach to agriculture. It includes the development of biotechnologies aimed at minimizing negative environmental impacts and improving product quality, as well as education and awareness-raising among consumers and producers about the importance of environmentally sustainable practices in crop production. To solve the above problems, the company offers comprehensive biotechnologies for implementation into an integrated system of protection and nutrition of agricultural crops to reduce the pesticide load, preserve the soil microbiota and obtain safe high-quality products. They represent a system of application of biotechnological preparations, organomineral and mineral fertilizers for root and foliar top dressing and assessment of the mineral nutrition of the cultivated crop using a mobile laboratory at key stages of cultivation.
