This paper considers the selection of stabilizing/preserving agents for a long-time storage of the liquid-phase biological product (LBP) used in crop production. LBP belongs to microbiological products, so the authors have been challenged to preserve its activity by reaching three objectives: to keep the number of useful microflora close to the original one, prevent the growth of sanitary indicator microorganisms (enterobacteria) and avoid a bad smell caused by active microflora.The work has been performed in three experiment series. Experiment Series 1 and 2, which are different by time (six months and a year), have been devoted to the studying of stabilizing properties of some preservatives such as sodium benzoate, sodium thiosulfate, aminobenzoic acid and sodium chloride. Experiment Series 3 has tested LBP (of different storage durations) in spring wheat germination. It has been found that the best LBP quality is guaranteed by 5% (mass to mass) sodium chloride at low storage temperatures. The storage duration for LBP containing the stabilizer should not exceed six months.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
