Under open environmental conditions, Trihodermin and BioMikss were used for trial purposes to study lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) yields in 2008. Experiments were carried out in the Region of Riga at the farm 'Pukulejas'. The lettuce cultivar 'May King' and the strawberry cultivar 'Senga Sengana' were both used in the trial. The purpose of the trial was to evaluate the use of biological products when applied on the above mentioned trial plants. In the field trial, both Trihodermin and BioMikss in dry powder form in peat mixture were applied for soil treatment 10 kg haE-1. Trihodermin contains cells of microscopic fungus Trichoderma harzianum 8-21 and Trichoderma viride 1-5. BioMikss is a mixture of microorganisms, containing cells of seven various bacteria (Azotobacter chroococcum 23, Polyangium cellulosum 5-t, Polyangium 56, Pseudomonas putida 48-t, Rhizobium meliloti 15, Streptomyces griseoviridis P-t and Streptomyces cellulosae D) and cells of two various fungus (Trichoderma harzianum 7-t and Trichoderma viride A-L). Three times during the growing period Trichodermin and BioMikss water solution 100 g kgE-1 was applied on the trial plants. When compared to non-treated plants, significantly increased yield was observed on BioMikss-treated lettuce. A significantly increased yield was also observed on BioMikss-treated strawberries. The results of the experiments showed that in open environment, both strawberry and lettuce plants treated with BioMikss showed resistance to the grey mould, caused by a parasitic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The results prove that biological products, by environmentally friendly means, revitalize soils, protect plants, and enhance growth, immunity and productive potential.
