A course for biologization: Kernel and BTU-Center share experience in implementing biotechnology in agriculture

Kernel is the largest producer and exporter of sunflower oil in Ukraine, as well as one of the leading suppliers of agricultural products on the international market. The company accounts for about 15% of the world's sunflower oil exports and 18% of grain exports. Kernel supplies products to more than 80 countries around the world. Also, Kernel is one of the pioneers of biologization of the domestic agricultural industry: the company's specialists understand that the introduction of biotechnology is an integral part of agricultural production. They have been working with the Ukrainian company BTU-CENTER for more than 10 years.

“"We do not refuse fertilizers or pesticides, we are well versed in all types of all combinations of chemical and biological active substances - we understand that everything needs to be assessed comprehensively. But while working with BTU-Center biological preparations, we forgot what fusarium head blight is, what major diseases are in corn - despite the fact that in many regions we have a monoculture. We abandoned the fourth fusarium treatment of wheat. He is simply not there! 

 

As far the implementation of the developments of our research center is concerned in the past year microbiological products are in second place after means to protect against pests and weeds"”, - says the head of the Kernel research department, Arkady Lungul.

Kernel specialists have been carefully studying the world's most effective biological practices for many years. The holding trusts BTU-CENTER products and recommends them to other manufacturers.  

Commercial director of BTU-CENTER, Tetyana Khomenko, highlights: "Bio is the future that has already come. After all, the use of biologicals in technology ensures the improvement of the soil and prevention of its degradation, increasing the absorption coefficients of nutrients from the soil and fertilizers, increasing the yield, reducing the costs of pesticides, and restoring biodiversity. Establishing the effectiveness of biologicals at the BTU-CENTER begins with laboratory modeling of technologies with the study and verification of norms and methods of their application. And we transfer only the best variants of laboratory research to field, many of which, by the way, were laid together with the Kernel agricultural holding. After passing all stages of verification, we share the most effective recommendations, which can be trusted and undoubtedly integrated into agricultural cultivation technologies. cultures Therefore, we advise you to give preference to those products, those microorganisms, the properties of which correspond to the declared ones, and their effectiveness is verified and substantiated. It is this approach that will help shorten your path to a successful result!". 

 

The world is changing and agriculture is changing with it. Smart farming is a rational and balanced approach, attention to new technologies, biologicalization and care for soil health. Dear farmers, the health of the soil depends on you! Combine intensive with biological!
