Altai State University begins testing its own biological products
The project manager, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Vladimir Tatarintsev said that the purpose of the research was to assess the impact of microbial and metabiotic preparations patented by AltSU on the quantitative and qualitative indicators of spring crops. The objectives of the tests were to determine in laboratory conditions the effect of the use of microbiological preparations that impact the quality of seeds, laboratory germination, germination energy, growth force and viability; in vivo study on selected crops (in different phases of growth) of the stimulating effect of microbiological preparations, as well as evaluation of the comparative effectiveness of a biological product with chemical analogues.
The industrial partner is the head of a peasant (farm) economy from the Kamensky district of Altai Krai. The project is co-implemented by the Altai Federal Research Center for Agrobiotechnology (headed by Alexey Garkusha) and the Altai branch of the Grain Quality Assessment Center (headed by Maria Shostak).
