Phyto-ecological estimation of the impact of anthropogenic factors (herbicides, pesticides, agricultural products, nano-drugs, GMOs) and global climate change

POD Reference

TOUA20140620001

Summary

A university in Kyiv (Ukraine) offers expert estimation of the impact of the effects of herbicides, pesticides, agricultural products, nano-drugs, GMOs and global climate change on the adaptation and production potential of plants and on ecological state of agrocenosis. Unlike other assessments, the estimation provides a comprehensive analysis and a systematic approach. The organization is looking for partners interested in further studies and use in the agriculture industry.

Description

The organization has developed a test system with a primary screening of variety-samples for stability, model systems of oxidative stress and the effects of biotic stressors (eyespot infection under controlled conditions) for the determination of the adaptive capacity of plants.

The organization proposes:

- Rapid assessment according with indicators of integrated parameters of growth, state of photosynthetic and pro-antioxidant systems, nonspecific resistance of plants;

- Checking in a production environment state of phyto- agrocenosis.

Field tests provide reliable assessment of the productive potential of ecosystems and biohazards for environment.

Phyto-ecological assessment of the impact of anthropogenic factors on plants can be a basis for the development of methodology for business plans in the field of agri-business and the formation of feasibility and financial indexes of the agricultural sector.

Advantages and Innovations

The main advantage of the proposal is an evaluation by integral indicators that enhances the reliability of the phyto-ecological results of the impact of anthropogenic factors.

Using of the proposed expert estimation significantly reduces the risks for the agricultural industry.
