LACTOBACILLUSPLANTARUM STRAINS TO PLANTS’ PROTECTION FROM BACTERIAL CANCER
1. Main characteristics, description of the offer.
On the basis of strains Lactobacillusplantarum ONU 12, which possesses a strong antagonistic activity against pathogenic agrobacteria, a biological product can be made to destroy phitopathogenic bacteria Agrobacteriumtumefaciensi Agrobacteriumvitis, which causes bacterial pathogens cancer of dicotyledonous plants. The biological product can significantly reduce infection of plantations. Biological product based on lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillusplantarum ONU 12 is used applied over plant surfaces, and is especially efficient being applied for plant material being seed into the soil. Upon using the product the number of infected plants is reduced by 78-86%, and some parameters such as the number of viable plants, the number of viable buds on the stems, the number of green shoots and their average length are improved.
2. Innovations and advantages of the offer.
Biological based on lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillusplantarum ONU 12 is used to process plant surfaces, especially expedient processing of biologics plant material into the soil before planting. By use of the drug is reduced by 78-86% the number of infected plants, and improving metrics such as the number of viable plants, the number of viable buds on the shank, the number of green shoots and their average length.
3. Patent search and market substitutes’ comparative analysis.
Comparative analysis made on the basis of patent search by countries as Russia, France, Germany, USA, Poland showed that the product has no analogues regarding the set of essential characteristics such as the method and type of strains to protect plants against bacterial cancer analogues. The development is competitive in being compared to analogues . The development is protected by the patent for a model # 75360.
4. Domain of application. Potential customers of the final product / service.
The final product can be applied to implement at farms and agricultural companies. It can also be used in medical production facilities for the creation, production and quality control of drugs for medical purposes.
5. Profitability, market attractiveness, introduction and sales costs, price.
Economical reasoning is based on significantly reducing the number of infected plants after application of the biological product. The development is environmentally friendly, highly efficient, requires minimum costs for its implementation up to 500 000 UAH.
6. Current stage of development. Existent results of introduction.
The proposed biological product for plants’ protection against bacterial cancer and its application method is a 100% technical solution. The results of the development are confirmed by the patent of Ukraine for «a utility model» and the successful approbation for treatments of grapes’ planting material grapes before planting its knot the soil. Successful laboratory tests for biotechnology cleaning of metal-containing wastewater were conducted. After purification the content of heavy metal ions in the water was reduced to allow the water to be rated at 1-3 categories – the clean water.
