The aim of the operation is to create an improved potato and sugar beet production technology. The use of electrolysed water with silicon (zeolite) will reduce the use of chemical plant protection products and increase the consumption value of the potatoes produced. By introducing electrolysed water and zeolite for on-farm use, it is anticipated that this will make a major contribution to improving the profitability of potato and sugar beet production. The concrete effect of the measures taken under the operation will be an improvement in the quality of the crops produced, with no pesticide residues and a reduction in the adverse effects of tillage on the natural environment.

The main benefit resulting from the implementation of the operation will be the development and implementation of an innovative technology for potato and sugar beet production, which will maintain the healthiness of plants and at the same time significantly reduce the use of chemical plant protection products. This will translate into a reduction in the production costs of the above-mentioned plants and will make a practical contribution to increasing innovative solutions in Polish agriculture and rural areas. Farmers' demand for alternative, effective methods of plant protection is high. The withdrawal of many active substances from the list of authorised plant protection products causes difficulties in maintaining plantations in an appropriate health condition. The economic situation in recent times has contributed to an increase in the price and availability of many inputs. By introducing electrolysed water and zeolite for on-farm use, it is anticipated that this will make a major contribution to improving the profitability of potato and sugar beet production. The concrete effect of the operation will be an improvement in the quality of the crops produced, without pesticide residues, and a reduction in the adverse effects of tillage on the natural environment. In addition, the operation will prepare studies to disseminate the results obtained among potato and sugar beet producers, but also among scientists.
