• Obtaining extracts containing the biologically active substances, purification and determination of the active principles of extracts or preparations in various preparative forms (liquid or dry extract, polymer bioconjugate, essential oils);
• In vitro and in vivo testing of biological activities of obtained extracts and isolated compounds as plant growth regulators, antioxidants and biopesticides;
• Development of procedures for obtaining of new natural preparations with biological activity and their application in ecological agriculture, silviculture and food industry.

Research materials:

Linaria spp., Veronica spp., Verbascum spp., Carthamus tinctorius, Juniperus spp., Fagus sylvatica, Juglans regia, Phytolacca americana and other plant species as sources of biologically active substances with perspective of utilization in agriculture, silviculture and food industry.

Relevant results:

The preparations MOLDSTIM, ECOSTIM, PAVSTIM and MESTIM have been elaborated, standardized, certified and implemented in plant cultivation technologies as regulators of plant growth and development. The preparations are harmless to the environment, greatly increase crop productivity and plant tolerance to adverse weather conditions and disease.
Recommendations have been developed and published on the application of natural growth regulators in the cultivation technology of cereals and vegetables.
