Summary
The Central Botanical Garden offers consumers biotechnology for the phytoreclamation of high-moor peat deposits that have ceased to be in commercial use using plant-microbial associations with subsequent scientific support under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and/or a licensing agreement and is looking for partners for further improvement of the technology at the reclaimed site under a technical cooperation agreement.
Description
In the interests of the country's agricultural sector, in order to prevent degradation and improve soil fertility, a technology for the biological stage of reclamation of peat deposits that have ceased to be in industrial use has been developed based on the use of plant-microbial associations.

The scope of application is the agro-industrial complex and food security, nature management and environmental protection.

The prospects of the development are due to the large area of ​​peatlands that have ceased to be in industrial use in the Republic of Belarus, as well as the high export potential.

Information is posted in  Album of promising developments of the NAS of Belarus organizations for the real sector of the economy (2023), p. 262-263. (in Russian)
Advantages and Innovations
The development corresponds to the world level, and in terms of the range of plants used and the possibility of using optimized fertilizers in plantings, it surpasses similar foreign developments.

World producers of blueberries (USA, Chile, Canada, etc.) use mineral fertilizers to obtain high yields of berry products.
The first application of domestically produced microbial fertilizers on this crop in Belarus, with the justification of optimal regulations for their application corresponding to the soil and climatic conditions of the region and the principles of organic farming, will increase the yield of blueberries without the application of mineral fertilizers and ensure the production of export-oriented, environmentally friendly berry products that meet high standards of organic farming, which will make a significant contribution to solving the problem of import substitution.

The developed technology is environmentally safe. As a result of the activation of the processes of development and fruiting of plants, environmentally friendly, export-oriented, high-quality berry products are obtained.

Additional comments
The Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus is the leading and largest center in the country for the conservation of biodiversity of living plants, a leading scientific institution in the field of introduction, acclimatization, physiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, biochemistry and ecology of plants. Research and practical work in the field of plant introduction has ensured the creation of a gene pool of ornamental and economically useful introduced plants from more than 15 thousand names.

In accordance with the Charter, the main goal of the Central Botanical Garden is to conduct scientific research in the field of introduction, botany, physiology, biochemistry and biotechnology, ecology, green construction and phytodesign, rational sustainable use and protection of plant resources, as well as the preservation of the gene pool of plants of the world flora.
The Central Botanical Garden is one of the oldest botanical institutions in Belarus. In 1999, by decision of the Government of the Republic of Belarus, it was given the status of a scientific object constituting a national heritage. The Central Botanical Garden has been declared a botanical natural monument of national significance and historical and cultural value. Today it is a unique natural object of landscape gardening art, combining the functions of a metropolitan landmark and an important cultural, educational, ecological and educational center.

The main areas of scientific and technical activities:
- efficient use, renewal and protection of plant resources;
- identification of physiological and biochemical patterns and mechanisms for the formation of plant resistance and productivity;
- creation of scientific foundations for the introduction, protection, selection and management of acclimatization processes and - biological productivity of economically useful plants based on traditional and modern methods of biotechnology and genetic engineering;
- biological monitoring, ecology;
- industrial botany;
- green construction and phytodesign;
- use of plant resources in industry, agriculture, medicine;
- solving problems of biosafety of biological methods and technologies.

Promising areas of work of the Central Botanical Garden:
- development of scientific foundations and practical measures for the effective sustainable use of plant resources in the economy and social sphere of the country, for the conservation of the gene pool of rare and endangered species and habitats of representatives of the Belarusian flora.
- creation of new competitive varieties of ornamental, medicinal, spicy-aromatic, bioenergy plants and projects of original decorative compositions for various landscaping objects, including interiors.
- development of effective methods for accelerated production of planting material based on in vitro culture and methods of identification and protection from bacterial and viral contamination in order to obtain healthy planting material.
- study of the genetic diversity of plants and plant communities, their habitats and ecosystems, solving issues of systematics and taxonomy using traditional and molecular genetic approaches.
