Scientists of the Zabolotny Institute of Microbiology and Virology (IMV) under the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine created the Azogran preparation that is used for increasing the yield capacity of crops, as well as for quickening growth of lawn grass, conifers, ornamental and other plants.

Testing of Azogran has shown a substantial increase in the yield of plants. In particular, the yield capacity of tomatoes and roses rose by 18-37% and 26-45% respectively.

Ukraine has a lot of advantages in the field of agriculture and can be self-sufficient in terms of the food supply. The combination of soil fertility with application of biotechnologies developed by the Ukrainian scientists will enable an increase in the yield of areas under crops without polluting the environment with protectants.
