The Polesie Agrarian Ecological Institute offers consumers an ameliorant prepared from carbide lime under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.

Ameliorant obtained by drying and grinding carbide lime (acetylene production waste) to the state of flour.

The ameliorant contains a lime component, as well as nutrients and microelements necessary for plants, which ensures a balanced nutrition of agricultural crops and creates conditions for obtaining environmentally friendly products.

Ameliorant composition:
* calcium (in terms of CaO) - 45.0%
* potassium (in terms of K2O) - 0.3%
* magnesium (in terms of MgO) - 0.1%,
* total mass fraction of calcium and magnesium carbonates (СаСО3+MgСО3) - not less than 80%.

Ameliorant based on carbide lime is intended for use in agro-industrial enterprises and household plots with acidic soils. The ameliorant is able to increase the yield of corn and clover by 20..30%, which has an aftereffect for 2..3 years.

The development involves production waste in the secondary circulation, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the company's costs (up to 61%) for the storage and disposal of large-tonnage waste generated as a result of acetylene production.

The main objective of the Institute is to conduct fundamental and applied scientific research in the field of developing scientifically based measures aimed at preserving and rationally using the natural resource potential of the Polesie region.

Research areas:
- Agrobiology. Scientific substantiation of the main elements of the technology of cultivating forage crops, including non-traditional ones, and the formation of highly productive environment-stabilizing phytocenoses in agroecologically problematic areas of Western Polesie agrolandscapes, taking into account modern climate change;
- Biogeochemistry and Ecotoxicology. Study of the migration of xenobiotics (compounds alien to living organisms that do not enter into either plastic or energy metabolism in the cell) in ecological systems, mechanisms for including them in natural cycles, as well as the consequences of changes in natural flows of substances in the biosphere - disruption of the ecological balance and transformation of elements of the biosphere, reduction of biodiversity, risk to human health. The main efforts are aimed at studying the impact of heavy metals on biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems, as well as studying their biological and ecological fate;
- Optimization of ecosystems. Intensification of innovative approaches to the protection and interactive use of landscape-biological diversity and agro-economic potential of the Polesie region in the interests of sustainable development and improving the quality of life of people. Promotion of environmental and socio-economic innovations in the framework of the implementation of local sustainable development strategies and local projects of the "green" economy of the Belarusian Polesie;
- Hydroecology and Ecotechnology. Assessment of the quality of water (drinking, surface and waste); numerous projects are being implemented on standardization in the field of water protection and use, as well as waste recycling, scientific research is being conducted in current and promising areas related to improving the quality of water in our region, minimizing the threats of their pollution;
- Feed quality. Analysis of the implementation of technological regulations and standards by organizations of the agro-industrial complex in the production of agricultural products.

Within the framework of international collaborations and projects, research is conducted in various scientific areas in ecology, soil science, zoology and botany, hydrology, biogeochemistry and ecotoxicology, plant physiology and biochemistry, and in the field of agricultural sciences.
