Promoting better root growth and soil fertility through biofertilizers is proving to be an effective means of increasing yields. Methods of pretreatment of agricultural waste - cavitation delignification, electric pulse and ultrasound contribute to the transformation of complex molecular structures into simpler monomers and the development of new value-added bio-products such as biofertilizers. It was found that the use of these methods does not destroy the fibrillar structure of cellulose, but causes the re-localization and partial removal of lignin. Pretreatment of samples increases the yield of dry substances by an average of 3.4 times when using ultrasound and 5.6 times when using hydrodynamic cavitation. At the same time, the amount of reducing sugars increases by 2.3 and 5.8 times, respectively. The obtained extracts after fermentation of Bacillus have a growth-stimulating effect, increase the germination energy of wheat seeds by 29.4% to control and by 34.2% germination.
