Scientists from the Kazan State Agrarian University (KSAU) have developed an innovative organomineral fertilizer. Researchers have experimentally found that it can increase potato yields by 3,2 tons per hectare, which is 10,8% increase.
It was also proven that when using the new fertilizer, the starch content in tubers increases by 0,6%. And, additionally, losses from various rots during potato storage are noticeably reduced.
An organomineral product created on the basis of humic substances and food industry waste is a new generation of environmentally friendly and highly effective plant nutrition products. It combines the benefits of both mineral and organic fertilizers, providing a quick and targeted supply of nutrients, improving soil structure and fertility.
As Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, Professor of KSAU Radik Safin noted, obtaining such fertilizer is an important step towards sustainable agriculture. After all, it not only increases crop yields, but also contributes to more rational use of resources and reduction of waste.
