    Science 9 March 2022 1412

    Scientists of the Institute of Microbiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan have developed the drug "Azos-Uz", which consists of an association of active nitrogen-fixing, phytohormone-producing effective strains of bacteria of the genus Azospirillum.

    The biological preparation is intended to increase the yield of agricultural crops and increase their resistance to various diseases in salinization conditions.

    "Azos-Uz" also has the ability to dissolve mineral phosphates, produces a number of B vitamins and growth-stimulating substances. "Azos-Uz" is offered for processing seeds of agricultural crops.

    As a result of the processing of agricultural crops with a biological product, the yield increases by 5-10 kg/ha, the need for chemical nitrogen fertilizers decreases by 50%, while environmentally friendly products are grown.
