The Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus offers consumers biofertilizer «SoyaRhiz®» to increase soybean productivity under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus has developed a biofertilizer «SoyaRhiz®» to increase soybean productivity.

The based of preparation is:
* strain of soybean nodulating bacteria Bradyrhizobium japonicum and its metabolites;
* peat (carrier).
Titer – not less than 1,0×10⁸ CFU/g.

Principle of action:
Due to use of symbiotic active strains of nodule bacteria on roots of soybean plants, an effective symbiosis is formed, which ensures the intensification process of biological nitrogen fixation.

Efficiency
Biofertilizer «SoyaRhiz®» allows:
* ensure process of biological nitrogen fixation, replace nitrogen of mineral fertilizers with biological;
* against background use of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers (P₅₀K₁₂₀):
- improve technological properties of grain and green mass of soybeans;
- increase seed yield by 38%, crude protein harvest by 60% (without nitrogen fertilizers);
* ensure accumulation of ammonia nitrogen in soil in an amount of not less than 6.3 mg/kg while reducing the nitrate nitrogen content in the soil by 60..70%.

Biopreparation is not phytotoxic and not hazardous to humans, animals, beneficial insects.
Promotes output of eco-friendly farm products.

Application guidelines:

Dosage	Treatment	Number of treatments
200 g of preparation (10 l of working solution) / 1 ha portion of seeds	Recommended pre-sowing seed treatment: working solution of «SoyaRhiz®» is mixed with seeds to attain homogenous spreading over the surface. In 20..30 min the seeds regain initial consistency. The process is conducted in the shady place or at the warehouse to avoid lethal antimicrobial effect of direct sunrays. The treated seeds are packed into sacks and sown during the following 24 h.	1
4 kg of preparation (200 l of working solution) / 1 ha	It may be expedient to carry out treatment of 8..9 day sprouts with cultural liquid of nodulating bacteria Bradyrhizobium japonicum as the active biofertilizing element introduced during soil furrowing	1

Package:
Plastic or metallized bags of 0.6 kg weight;

Terms of storage:
6 months since fabrication date within temperature range +4 to +15 °C in shady place.

Application area: agriculture (crop production).

Institute of Microbiology offers partners:
* biofertilizer «SoyaRhiz®» to increase soybean productivity under a manufacturing agreement;
* biofertilizer «SoyaRhiz®» to increase soybean productivity under a distribution services agreement.
