This document summarizes a technology for sowing small-seeded crops in liquid activated medium. Key points include: carrying out two growing cycles in one season to increase yields up to 600 c/ha per cycle; earlier harvests than traditional methods; reduced water and pesticide use; proven results from pilot projects showing higher yields from smaller areas; and a business model focused on specialty, high-value crops near urban markets. Contact information is provided for the project authors.

3. 1. Technology
The essence of the development is that through a dispenser of a special design, in
Liquid environment, in a sprouted form, the seeds are sown. By reducing
period of germination, and due to the increased energy of growth and development,
the growing cycle is reduced, depending on weather conditions up to 30%.
The development is aimed at creating long-term competitive advantages:
- Carrying out two full-fledged vegetative cycles in one agricultural season;
- a sharp increase in productivity;
- implementation of the idea of ​​avoiding the "price bottom" - growing early products;
- significant expansion of technological capabilities - the technology is suitable for
closed ground and for places with an arid climate;
The technology of sowing and growing vegetable crops has been developed:
- carrots, onions, beets, all types of cabbage, radish, rapeseed, seed potatoes,
flax, poppy seeds, salads, garlic, amaranth ... ..;
- flowers, incl. with very small (like dust) seeds: Lobelia, Begonia, Cyclamen ...;
lawn grasses incl. roll technology.

6. 3. Key competitive advantages
The main competitive advantage is that it
formed in the technological field, in which the most
it is difficult to compensate for it, or its compensation is the most costly.
- Carrying out two full-fledged vegetative cycles in one season;
- second cycle products can be sold with attractive consumer discount;
- there is a sharp increase in yield, up to 600 c / ha per cycle;
- implementation of the idea of ​​avoiding the "price bottom" - growing early
products;
- significant expansion of technological capabilities – technology suitable for both
indoor and arid zones;
- the technology allows, due to the second cycle, to react to a deficit formed in the
market due to various circumstances;
- obtaining seedlings two weeks earlier than the traditional dates for this
the terrain corresponds to the transfer of the site to the south by 700 - 900 km;
- the use of this technology increases efficiency
application of pesticides 2–2.5 times, reduce water consumption by 30–40%;
- when using this technology, seed germination is close to laboratory;

7. 4. Market
In the context of dynamically changing factors the
external environment becomes a basic advantage
technological factor.
It is the technological factor that forms competitive
position, cost and quality products, allows ultimately,
successfully operate on both internal and external
markets.

8. 5. Pilot project
implemented for confirmation/correction of forecasted
technological and market parameters:
- sowing in liquid environments allows to carry out two consecutive
full-fledged growing cycles in one;
- minimum guaranteed yield is 500 c/ha for of the first culture, and not less than
550 c/ha for subsequent (root crops);
- in order to obtain the same volume of marketable products it is required the
area is 4 to 5 times smaller than the traditional growing technology;
- the consumption of moisture is significantly reduced due to the reduction of
the phase seeds - seedlings, and due to the general vegetative period;
- the levelling of shoots is better than the traditional technology;
- more efficient use of seed was noted, for by reducing the consumption of
seeds.

9. 6. Business model
The business model is built on competitive advantages of technology.
- placement of plots near places with the greatest concentration consumers,
cities from ≈500 thousand and above;
- specialization in the most profitable market segments: early vegetables,
different types of herbs, spices, urgent flowers ...
- building a unified production + sales system;
- preparation and delivery of the main components of technology from a
single center;

10. 7. Finance
The payback period of the project is reduced in comparison with
the accepted practices in the industry at the expense of higher
returns.
More production cycles per season are proportional increases
cash flows.
Improved production rates organically reduce the cost of
borrowing capital accepted in the industry.
The set of better financial indicators reduces financial risks.
An object with a real market value is formed.

11. 8. Key project resources
Availability of technology that forms technological advantage.
Technology dramatically reduces the impact of seasonality.
Proven technology capable of minimizing entry costs.
Team of key specialists.
High profitability of this type of production.
Experience in promoting a product throughout the entire territory of
the former USSR

12. 9. Risk-research
Safety of the project is ensured
- high control over technology;
- it is supported by existence easily hidden from copying a component
(structures of the activated environments, a technique of
preparation of seeds, complex of other influences);
- restriction of number of the centers owning full structure
technologies;
- high cost intensity of an initial stage of researches, application wide
range of technologies not characteristic of rural farms;
- others technological, technical, organizational events;
