Materials used in this chapter were published in the book Biopesticide Albit for increasing yields and protection of agricultures against diseases, A.K. Zlotnikov, Ed. Prof. À. Melkumova. All-Russia Institute of Plant Protection, Russia, 2006.
These trials demonstrated high efficiency of presowing seed treatment (50 ml/tonne). Cost of treatment of 1 tonne of rice seeds with Albit is 110 roubles (4.4 USD). Effectiveness of foliar sprayings of rice with Albit has not been studied yet. According to results of trials, Albit increases yield of rice by 4.3-11.2 centners/hectare (7.3 centners/hectare or 19.3% over control on average). Stimulation of vegetative growth due to Albit can be seen at the earliest stages of development (germs). Albit increases germination of seeds by 5-8% and germination power by 7-9%. Roots becomes longer by 3.9 cm on average. Stimulation of rootage development due to Albit intensifies mineral uptake of plants under conditions of flood, when many nutrients are presented in hardly assimilable reduced form. Further accelerated development of biomass manifested in increase of tillering coefficient by 0.7 and stem density by 5.1-8.2%. Mechanisms of yield increase include increase of panicle length by 1.02-1.1 cm, weight of 1000 seeds by 0.4-1.46 g., number of seeds in one panicle averagely by 4.3, weight of seeds from the main panicle by 0.16-0.62 g. Biological effectiveness of presowing treatment of rice with Albit against root rots that arise in flood conditions is 69-77%. Fungicidal activity of Albit against this disease is observed at disease prevalence of 6-10% and disease development of 22.4%.

Influence of Albit on rice was examined in field trials of All-Russia Institute of
Biological Plant Protection and All-Russia Institute of Rice in 2004, on rice var.
Solyaris, Don-1500, Novator, Serpantin and Fontan.
NOTICE: Recommended retail price of Albit inside Russia is 2200-2500 Russian Rubles per liter (approx. 88-100 US dollars). All calculations concerning cost of application and economic efficacy of Albit on this website are made based on the domestic price of 2200 Rubles/liter, with 1 US Dollar taken for ca. 25 Russian Rubles (exchange rate of mid-2008). Recommended prices of Albit in other countries depend on customs/transportation costs, and range approximately between 100 US Dollars and 100 Euros per liter. Actual prices are set by the local dealers. |
