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.
Summarizing all obtained data, one can conclude that foliar spraying of decorative greenery with Albit provides accelerated shoot regrowth and increase of annual shoot increment averagely by 18.2%, increase of chlorophyll content in leaves by 6.2-11.8%, improvement of physiological state of leaves and increase of their assimilating surface by 15-76%, earlier flowering (by 3-10 days), increased number of flowers per shrub by 9-10%, increased stress resistance (air and soil pollution, temperature jumps), decreased sensitivity to root rots, powdery mildew, scab and other infections. Application rate of Albit used for foliar spraying is 200 ml/hectare. Working solution of Albit - 2 ml of Albit/10 L of water, therefore, consumption of working solution is 1000 L/hectare or 5 L/shrub (tree). It is recommended to start treatments (2-3 per season) in stage of budbreak/budding (for ananthous plants – in first half of vegetation), each with 15 days interval. The earlier treatments are more effective ones. Cost of the biopesticide used for treatment of 1 hectare of greenery is 440 roubles (17.6 USD). Albit is also effective for treatment of cuttings before their planting. Such treatment provides better rootage and acclimation (by 40-90%), acceleration of initial growth, increase of chlorophyll content in leaves by 7.4%. Cuttings should be soaked in Albit solution (1 ml/L) for 5 hours. 1 litre of solution can be used for treatment of 50-250 cuttings.

Influence of Albit on decorative greenery was tested in trials of All-Russia Institute
of Vegetable Selection and Seed Breeding (2001 and 2004) on dog rose var. Madam
Plentye and Yubileynyy. Data on growth stimulating and antistress activities
of Albit was also obtained from trials on 
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.
