OREANDA-NEWS Russian scientists from Kazan State Agrarian University have found a way to increase wheat productivity by a quarter - the new technology consists in a two-stage approach to processing seed crops of spring wheat, the university's press service told RIA Novosti.
"The Kazan State Agrarian University has developed a technology for the production of wheat seeds, which increases productivity by 24%. ... The essence of the new technology is a two-stage approach to the processing of seed crops of spring wheat," the press service reported.
This technology allows you to dry plants and protect them from diseases. Scientists propose to process wheat with the biological preparation "Pseudobacterin-2" twice: when the ear begins to form and two weeks before harvesting. At the second stage, Pseudobacterin-2 is mixed with a glyphosate-containing drug that helps accelerate seed maturation and facilitates harvesting.
"Field experiments were conducted on the experimental fields of the Kazan State Agrarian University in the farm of LLC Agrofirma Igenche of the Arsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan. The object of the study was a variety of spring wheat Yoldyz. ... The results of the study showed a significant improvement in seed quality and an increase in yield. When using the developed technology, it was possible to completely get rid of the infection of seeds with the dangerous disease "black germ", while in the control version without treatment, the infection rate reached 24.3%," the university noted.
As noted by Radik Safin, head of the research, Head of the Department of General Agriculture, Plant Protection and Breeding of the Kazan State Agrarian University, the developed technology solves a number of problems in spring wheat seed production - first of all, it improves the quality of seeds.
"Our method effectively protects plants from diseases caused by seeds. This is especially important, since the damage from infectious diseases can be significant not only in the current season, but also in subsequent years. Finally, the combination of biologics and desiccation allows us to achieve these results without excessive use of chemical plant protection products, which makes the technology more environmentally friendly and cost-effective," he added.
It is noted that this technology does not require expensive drugs and can be implemented using equipment already available in farms.
