Abstract
<p>Spring wheat is a strategically significant agricultural crop all over the world. Increasing yields of the crop need increasing use of the mineral fertilizers and chemical fungicides – using which becomes less and less popular. They are being substituted with various bioproducts being developed all over the world, including Russia. All-Russian Research Institute of Reclaimed Lands (VNIIMZ) has created a novel bioproduct – LBP – featuring physiologically significant amounts of growth factors and nutritive elements favorable for the plants. This work evaluates an LBP effect on spring wheat, Irgina sort, when using LPB as a supplementary fertilizer with a mineral fertilizer as a basic one. The research was carried out in microplot experiments at a VNIIMZ’s test site, Tver Region, Russian Federation, in 2009-2010. Among all options studied, a 0.1 l/sq.m LBP dose (added by spraying on bushing-out and earing plants) proved to be the most effective. That option yielded 16.31 metric centners/hectare, which is 27.3% higher than the same without LBP is. A grain quality analysis showed the following nutritive value rise compared to references: cellulose, oil and calcium (CaO) increased by 10…12%, 9…10%, and 10…12%, respectively. Soils of the plants treated with LBP generally contained more nitrogen compounds, less amylolytic microorganisms (competing for nitrogen) and Fusarium wilt ones - which totally provided better conditions for the spring wheat growth.</p>

Constant use of mineral fertilizers ruins the environment. in this connection, using biological fertilizers and other bioproducts can optimize the biological indices of the soil and provide high yields of the agricultural crops featuring a high quality (Buchanan et al, 2000)
Summary
In Russia, spring wheat gives 23% of the total grain yield. Its grain is reach in protein and gluten. Spring wheat needs no hot climate, which is why it is grown in many regions of the Russian Federation (Physiology of Agricultural Plants, 1969). Spring wheat has a short vegetation period and its roots have a lowered uptaking capacity – so it has high requirements to the soil in the beginning of its vegetation period and, needs valuable fertilizers (Markhieva, 2004). In this connection, using biological fertilizers and other bioproducts can optimize the biological indices of the soil and provide high yields of the agricultural crops (including grain) featuring a high quality (Buchanan et al, 2000) Constant use of mineral fertilizers ruins the environment. in this connection, using biological fertilizers and other bioproducts can optimize the biological indices of the soil and provide high yields of the agricultural crops (including grain) featuring a high quality (Buchanan et al, 2000)
