Abstract

This article explores efficient strategies for sustainable agricultural chemicalization, aiming to enhance crop yields while minimizing mineral fertilizer and pesticide use. It presents an analysis of long-term studies on human- and animal-safe bionutrients synthesized using triethanolammonium salt of orthocresoxyacetic acid and 1-chloromethylsilatrane. Research indicates that high industrial crop yields can be achieved without escalating mineral fertilizer and pesticide inputs. Treating flax seeds and plants with these bionutrients resulted in increased seed yields, attributed to improved germination energy and seed germination, without additional fertilizer. Similarly, flax straw yield increased by 18-20%. These bionutrients also suppress fungal diseases, potentially reducing or eliminating pesticide reliance. Consequently, silatranes and other organosilicon compounds offer promise as crucial elements in eco-friendly agricultural technologies, enhancing plant metabolism, improving nutrient utilization from mineral fertilizers, and decreasing pesticide dependence.
