DEVELOPING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SEED PROTECTANTS WITH COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION AGAINST PESTS, DISEASES AND RESIDUES OF HERBICIDES IN SOIL

Abstract

Aim. Taking into consideration one of the most important environmental problems of agriculture, contamination of the soil with residues of pesticides, in particular herbicides, we have investigated the technology of developing complex substances and including them in the composition of antidotes that protect crop plant from the residues of herbicides.Methods. To prepare the complex preparations we have proposed methods of mechanochemistry, namely co-grinding of several components having fungicidal, insecticidal, growth-regulatory and antidotal properties.Results. These complex compositions have been used for seed protection and showed a wide range of biological activities demonstrating synergism.Conclusion. Developed complex compositions have a synergistic effect (fungicide, plant growth regulator, an antidote against the residues of herbicides).
