New synthetic resins help make the soil more fertile

A team of scientists in Russia's eastern Russian city of Khabarovsk has synthesized a unique plastic, making the soil in these plastic tanks more fertile , helping the gardener and the owners of the farm.

On the surface, pots, gutters, barrels made of new plastic "medical" tools commonly used by farmers or gardeners. In fact, they have very unique properties because of the introduction of useful microorganisms into them. These microbes can promote fast growing plants, increasing yield and quality of plants.

The process of synthesizing this useful microorganism is not complicated. Only lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, micro-organisms and many other useful microorganisms are cultured.

Next, the manufacturer uses this resin to create pots, gutters and earthenware containers for planting. When microorganisms from the plastics penetrate the soil, they escape from the 'static' state and begin to reproduce, encroaching the harmful microbes in the soil. As a result, soil becomes more fertile and safer for plants. Plants will grow fast, give good harvest.

Experiments show that the new plastic can work well to a 30-35cm thick layer of soil, which is harmless to humans. In addition to cultivating, new plastics can be used to treat organic waste.

An enterprise in the city of Khabarovsk has developed the production of plastic containers for year-round crops.
