The experience of the Stavropol State Agrarian University on implementation of resource-saving agricultural food systems presented at the VI All-Russian Agrochemical forum

The experience of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Plant Physiology of the Stavropol State Agrarian University to develop and implement systems of resource supply crops in the Stavropol region was introduced to the participants of Sochi VI Russian Agrochemical forum by Head of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Physiology SSAU plants, Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Associate Professor Maxim Sigida.

He presented the Stavropol State Agrarian University and spoke of the constraints increase in the volume of fertilizer application.

Maxim Sigida noticed that research should be systemic in nature, take into account the interests of both producers of agrochemicals and agricultural producers, carried out in a uniform format and uniform methodology. Research results should also be continued in practice to be a tool to increase the efficiency of the industry.

This requires the modernization of the short- and long-term field, vegetation, laboratory experiments, and experiments to bring them into line with the level and needs of all participants in modern agriculture.

Meanwhile, the country's R & D works always and far ahead of the production of and does not always correspond to its resource potential. As a result, Russian agriculture is carried out with short supply balance of nutrients. This is the cause of low yields and quality of agricultural crops against a background of sustained uncontrollable world production of plant nutrients.

Thus, production of mineral fertilizers is the leading processing industries in Russia, accounting for over 20% of commercial production of the chemical and petrochemical industry as a whole.

The prices of mineral raw materials pulled by an agrochemical other elements of the ecosystem: production, logistics, pricing, and other agricultural products. For the first time it touched the stagnation of both production and consumption sectors. However, it has also become a new opportunity for companies able to accept new challenges and evolve.

At the VI All-Russian forum agrochemical Head department of SSAU spoke by the invitation of the director of "Marker Group" Sergei Pisotsky, President of the Russian Association of Fertilizer Producers - Dmitry Strezhnev, as well as general and executive director of "Mineral and Chemical Company" EuroChem "Igor Kalugskiy.

The company "Marker Group" is a leader in the information market for agrochemical sector in the CIS. The goal of her work - a comprehensive information support for all companies and individuals interested in working with agricultural chemistry, fertilizers and products related markets.

Russian Association of Fertilizer Producers (RAFP) established by the largest Russian producers of mineral fertilizers. Member organizations of the Association, and companies included in the holdings of these companies are suppliers of more than 90% of the total volume of the Russian domestic market of mineral fertilizers.
