Cost Efficiency

Economic parameters on the basic crops are specified below. Figures will surely differ depending on a certain farm and season. Crop yield rise values due to biochemicals use are average (On the basis of experimental findings). Due to absence of exact actual data, one hectare treatment cost is specified on the basis of own calculations including basic expenditures, such as petrol, machinery depreciation, tractor operator wages and maintenance & repair). Biochemicals actual sale prices are adjusted for 25% of the public grant.

Economic parameters of the biochemicals use as a component of container mixture with herbicides, insectoacaricides and soluble fertilizers for foliar nutrition are shown in darkened lines. Spraying costs haven’t been taken into account in this case. The profit from one treated hectare has been counted as a difference between additional crop cost and total biochemical treatment usage expenses. Profitability has been counted as a ratio of profit to total expenses.

Additional profits

We should mention that estimations given were based only on yield increase, but use of our biochemicals brings other economic and agrotechnical advantages as follows:

1. Ripening acceleration up to 3—9 days

Cereals and industrial crops — harvesting at better weather
Fruit, berries and vegetable crops — increase of getting early (the most expensive) products
More possibilities for anti-weed treatment at the autumn season
Probability of high moisture reserve in the soil in autumn is much higher
More possibilities for a complete stubble soil treatment
More possibilities got growing stubble crops, green manure
Protected ground results in acceleration of crop rotation

2. Increase of products quality

Sugar beet — increase of sugar content in beets
Sunflower oil seeds — increase of oil content
Fruit, berries and vegetable crops, and grapes — Fruit, berries and vegetable crops
White cabbage — increase of heads density
Fruit, berries and vegetable crops, and grapes — increase of fruit size and marketability
Fruit, berries and vegetable crops, and grapes — products taste improvement

3. Improvement of products keeping capacity, decrease of diseases at storing

4. Increase of stubble remains’ weight (including rootage)

Improvement of soil structure at increase of organic substance
Activation of efficient soil microflora
abatement of soil erosion

5. Decrease of infectious background in crop rotation
