POLYFUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF PREPARATIONS BASED ON NATURAL BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES
There are presented results of long-term investigations carried out at the Lisavenko Research Institute of Horticulture for Siberia, Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, into the effectiveness of ecologically safe preparations Aphidine, Artaphidine, Tetranicide, Mycocide, Phospholipid, Vita-Start and Neo. The preparations have been developed on the base of natural biologically active substances against sucking and leaf-gnawing insect pests in open and protected ground and some pathogens, and act selectively on the beneficial fauna. It is shown that the physical mechanism of action prevents the development of resistance to new plant protection means in harmful organisms. There are given the data on afteraction of the preparations. The new preparations have a positive effect on growth and development of plants, contribute to high yields and good quality of fruits and can be used as root formation stimulators at a nursery. The preparations are possible to be used as protection means for birds and animals against exoparasites.
