From medicine and space to microelectronics and food - Science Week starts in Belarus

The Science Week starts in Belarus. More than a thousand developments that are not inferior to the world ones were presented by scientists during the exhibition "Belarus Intellectual" ranging from the development of medicine and space to microelectronics and food. For example, the works of scientists from the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus can be applied in several fields: medicine, nature protection and agriculture.

Natalia Golovneva, head of the laboratory of the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus:

“Due to the fact that we have the possibility to produce a certain amount of the product at our pilot production facility, we are increasing the production of the product every year. We try to maintain our competitiveness at a high level. During the period when import supplies were reduced, we felt the demand not only of domestic, but also, for example, of Russian consumers.”

Plant protection is one of the key areas that scientists of the Institute of Microbiology have been working on this year. The result is the microbial fertilizer Biotilia. Its composition protects plants from the harmful effects of anti-icing mixtures that get into the soil during road treatment. The effectiveness of its use along highways has already been proven.

Zinaida Aleshchenkova, chief researcher of the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus:

“It can be used not only in urban plantations, but also for the remediation of agricultural land. The main thing is that Zelenstroy should apply this preparation in time. We have developed it and recommend it to Zelenstroy and other organizations involved in landscaping.”

Many of the scientific works have already received practical application, solving the issues of import substitution. In general, science is one of the most profitable areas. There are many developments in Belarus with a hundred dollars of profit per ruble of expenses.
