A variety of profitable agro-technical products have recently been introduced in the agricultural sector, winning considerable popularity among agricultural workers.

Some of them are introduced below:

Biological compound nutrition activator

A biological compound nutrition activator has attracted the attention of agricultural officials and workers in recent years.

The nutrition activator, made by combining various natural bioactive substances in a nano complex compound-making method, facilitates the nutrient transport and energy metabolism of crops and boosts their photosynthetic capacity and immunity.

Especially, as it contains more microelements than other products, it is very effective for the safe growth of crops.

The introduction of it showed that the number of roots of paddy rice more than doubled as compared to previously when it was not applied and the crop took roots deep into the ground.

And it is very profitable for the low cost and convenient use.

According to a researcher of the Academy of Agricultural Science, when used in a hot and humid period, this nutrition activator is greatly helpful to the safe growth of crops.

'Hwanggumisak'

The "Hwanggumisak(golden ear of grain)" crop-ripening stimulant which has widely been introduced recently in the agricultural sector is an advanced sci-tech product efficient in accelerating the growth of crops and preventing damage from drought and moisture.

The application of it enables crops to withstand prolonged drought.

It is a labour-saving product as it requires less rounds of spraying.

One to two rounds of intermittent spraying of it accelerate the growth of crops and increase their yields.

Experts say that it can restore to their original state the crops that suffered damage from high temperature and herbicide.

It took the first place at the national presentation of technical experience and exhibition of scientific research achievements in the agricultural sector and is winning popularity among many users.

Fulvic acid raises drought resistance

Fulvic acid is very effective in increasing drought resistance of crops. It is a kind of humic acid with molecular weight lighter than other humic acids and is easily soluble in water.

This organic compound with a complex ring-shaped structure has a large number of various active functional groups in the molecule and therefore it is biologically active.

It was mainly used for soil improvement in the past, and these days it has been actively introduced into agricultural production units, being recognized as an effective substance boosting drought resistance of crops.

It checks the opening of the pores of leaves to reduce the evaporation of moisture and ensures the healthy growth of plants.

Accordingly, it increases the tolerance of crops in unfavourable environments.

The introduction of fulvic acid in different farms has increased crop yields as compared to when it was not applied and it proved more effective when they had severe droughts.

It is produced through the chemical treatment of peat or lignite or through the microbial fermentation of agroforestry by-products such as the straw of cereal crops, sawdust and leftovers after fruit processing.
