In a groundbreaking move for sustainable agriculture, the Hybrid Innovation AGRO Group has partnered with the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (IFAS) Agency in Uzbekistan to explore innovative solutions for improving wheat production on saline soils. The two organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to conduct further testing of the Aktiv Plus bioproduct in 2025.
This collaboration follows the successful field tests conducted during the 2024 wheat cultivation season. Aktiv Plus demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in addressing the challenges posed by saline soils, a significant barrier to agricultural productivity in the region. For the first time, farmers achieved yields of up to 50 centners per hectare of second-grade wheat – a milestone that underscores the transformative potential of Aktiv Plus.
Aktiv Plus works by improving soil health and mitigating the adverse effects of salinity through its innovative blend of organic components, plant growth activators, and micronutrients. This bioproduct not only enhances soil desalination but also stimulates robust plant growth, making it a valuable tool for tackling agricultural challenges in arid and semi-arid regions.
Uzbekistan, with its extensive areas of saline soils, stands to benefit significantly from this innovation. The partnership between Hybrid Innovation AGRO Group and IFAS Agency aims to refine and scale the application of Aktiv Plus, ensuring broader access to sustainable farming practices and increased agricultural output.
“These results mark a new era for wheat farming on challenging soils. With Aktiv Plus, we’re not only improving yields but also supporting the long-term health of our environment,” said a representative of Hybrid Innovation AGRO Group.
As preparations for the 2025 trials are underway, both organizations are optimistic about the potential for Aktiv Plus to redefine agricultural practices in Uzbekistan and beyond. The focus remains on delivering solutions that enhance food security, promote sustainability, and empower farmers.
