Abstract

Significant investments were made to develop intensive agriculture over the last 35 years in the effort to produce large quantities of agricultural produce. During this period, global crop production has risen nearly 2 times, but the losses from diseases, pests and weeds have increased more than 3 times, and costs for plant protection - 5-6 times. This led to justifiable reactions of agricultural consumers and their concern is expressed regarding: the safety of food; the effect of the methods of agricultural production on the environment; conditions for the breeding of plants and animals. For the production of clean and quality agricultural production the application of liquid organic fertilizers is essential, which are well absorbed by plants and also have an economic effect. In order to achieve higher yields it is necessary to focus research on creating innovative organic fertilizers. Current study presents the composition, basi c technological methods and the effect of the application on crops of several innovative liquid organic fertilizerс created by the authors.
