At the present time scientific development in the world, together with the
improvement of agricultural biotechnology, the number of preparations based on plant
extracts is increasing. Such agents are taking the place of such specific synthetic
preparations as they demonstrate their activity against harmful insects (insecticide),
growth properties, against harmful fungi and many others. Such natural means are of
great importance in protecting agricultural crops from pests and increasing their
productivity. Since the extracts are natural, they do not have a negative effect on human
health, and the accumulation of harmful substances in the body is prevented [1].
Based on the above and literature data, the bark of
Allium cepa was extracted and
thoroughly dried. Dry bark was extracted in 96% ethyl alcohol. The resulting alcohol
extract was evaporated in a rotary evaporator and 0.71 grams of dry extract was
obtained. The 1% water solution of the obtained extract was tested in the
organic
synthesis and plant protection
laboratory of the institute. Cucumber seeds of the variety
"Orzu" and wheat seeds of the variety "Asr" were used in the experiments in order to
determine their growth-promoting and herbicide activity. The test process was carried
out according to the established methods [2]. The concentration of the extract is from
1% to 0.00001%. The biostimulator "Uchqun" was used as a etalon. Preliminary
screening results showed that M-01 fractions at a concentration of 0.0001% reduced
wheat root and stem length by 12.0% and 8.6%, respectively, compared to the control,
and in cucumber, these indicators were 37.7% and 38.8% showed growth-promoting
activity respectively.
