Creation of a broad-spectrum antimicrobial plant composite

Abstract

Seeds are carriers of fitopatologi fungi, bacteria and viruses, some of which can become the source of plant diseases. Unsterilized soil harbors fungi and other organisms that damage seeds and sprouts. To protect seeds damaged by insects during storage, pre-sowing treatment may be required. The seeds are pre-treated with biological, physical and chemical agents, which ensure protection of seeds and plants from diseases and pests.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health lists a wide range of health conditions among the many types of harm caused to the body by pesticides, including: carcinogenic, neurological, reproductive, dermatological, and gastrointestinal (Chemical Pesticides and Human Health: The Urgent Need for a New Concept in Agriculture, 2016 Jul 18;4:148. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2016.00148).

The purpose of the work is to creation of a novel bio remedy for pre-sowing treatment of plant seeds based on the antimicrobial substance Bilontsa((hereinafter – Bilontsa), which will allow the production of safe, sufficient and high-quality food products with minimal impact on the environment.
