GROW & GO Concept HOW IT WORKS?

Analysis of the mineral resource base showed that to obtain samples of agronomically active components it is advisable to use lowland peat with a high degree of decomposition.

This allows us to change the characteristics of the product we produce, increase its biological activity, structure-forming properties, moisture-retaining and sorption abilities for various areas and methods of application, as well as increase the insecticidal properties of drugs without the use of chemical reagents.

The mechanism of action of antistress agents in mineral nutrition of plants. Modern theory and practice of optimizing the mineral nutrition of plants pays considerable attention not only to the basic fertilization of the soil for various crops, but also to its foliar feeding with growth stimulants, macro- and microelements and humic substances from organic and organo-mineral fertilizers. At the same time, the high efficiency of treating seed material with these preparations has been proven.

Their characteristic feature is their use in microdoses with the achievement of macro-indicators in the formation of yield. Many of them are characterized by multifunctional purposes – in addition to improving the mineral nutrition of plants, they can act as anti-stress preparations and perform a protective function against unfavorable environmental conditions, diseases and the spread of plant pests. In this regard, phytohormones are important.

There are 3 growth hormones identified in plants that stimulate their life processes: cytokinins, hyberelic acid, auxin and 2 stress hormones – ethylene, abscisic acid. Cytokinins are a transformer hormone that is formed at the tips of the root system and interacts with auxin in the aboveground organs of the plant and, together with cytokinin, stimulates cell division, ensuring the growth of the root system.

The more auxin, the more intense the growth of the root system; the more cytokinin, the better the development of the above-ground mass. The hyberelic acid produced by the plant acts as a cell size regulator, shaping the height of the plant and intensifying the processes of photosynthesis.

Ethylene is a gas produced in plant cells that regulates the movement of hormones in two forms: 1) ordinary ethylene controls the movement of auxin in the plant, and also provides a signal of reproductive maturity of the plant and initiates its flowering and fruiting, as well as dormancy; 2) stress ethylene is produced under extreme conditions, as a signal for the synthesis of protective proteins and overcoming moderate stress. With an excess of stressful ethylene, premature aging of cells occurs, which leads to their death.

Abscisic acid is responsible for the maturation of cells and the cessation of their further growth. Thanks to its action, the leaves close the stomata and retain moisture, the level of auxin decreases, the development of cells in the shoots, but not in the roots, is delayed, and the ripening and dormancy of seeds is ensured. Hormones must be available in required quantities throughout the life of the plant.

Nutrients supplied as part of mineral nutrition can act as catalysts and influence the duration and intensity of hormonal activity. Stabilizing hormonal activity is important both under normal conditions and under stress during plant growth and development. Humic and fulvic acids are inert components of soil organic matter and are not readily available to plants during mineral nutrition.

Using the technology developed by our company, humic acid was separated into fractions, making the full range of biopolymers available to plants during mineral nutrition. These substances have high water absorption capacity and, by increasing cation- and anion-exchange capacity, can stimulate protective functions in plants. A key property of our fertilizers is their high efficiency at low concentrations in aqueous solutions.

In simple terms, an aqueous solution of BIOCOMFORTI LLC concentrates, when applied to the soil, serves as a readily available nutrient medium for plants. It has been established that the interaction of humic substances with water creates a “meltwater” effect, which is described as having healing properties for living organisms. They enhance the activity of soil microorganisms, stimulate seed germination and early-stage growth, increase moisture absorption and water retention in the soil, and promote soil structure formation.

The humic substances contained in our fertilizers are considered a “reservoir” of slow-release nutrients. They also promote the absorption of fertilizers applied to the soil. In plant cells, under the influence of humic and fulvic acids, photosynthesis occurs more intensively. When using organic and organo-mineral fertilizers, overall yield increases of 20–50% can be expected compared with an untreated baseline. At the same time, increased plant resistance to stress factors and accelerated ripening (by 7–10 days) have been observed. Modern research has demonstrated the ability of plants to directly absorb certain nutrients (fertilizer components) as well as degraded humic acid molecules.
