The following consequences are expected to be achieved within the framework of the project:
-progress and proposal of restoration technology using amaranth plants to eliminate the existing salinization issue in the lands of the republic;
-formation of new technologies, feed base, processing enterprises and production areas based on the determination of the stimulating effect of natural biopreparations on plant productivity;
-preparation of proposals taking into account the possibilities of obtaining new therapeutic preparations, extracts and drinks from various parts of the plant;
-the possibility of applying the developed new biological restoration technology to various saline soils preparation of methodological instructions on;
-development of a proposal to establish appropriate agroparks to help solve the issue of unemployment.
The submitted project is intended to be implemented in territories of land exposed to salinization, mainly in the Aran region of the Republic.
