The paper discusses environmentally friendly ways to improve the productivity of crop production. Drugs made from plants containing terpenes are capable to protect crops from various diseases and stimulate their development. Outer bark of birch may contain triterpene alcohol betulin up to 40% of the mass, which allows to obtain environmentally friendly plant protection products. Experimental studies are devoted to studying the process of extracting betulin from birch bark, creating a betulin-containing preparation “Stimulin” for treating seeds and vegetative plants, as well as testing “Stimulin” on various agricultural cultures. The results of the use of the drug showed a significant increase in yield (by 8-35 %%) of crops such as wheat, barley, buckwheat, soybeans, and watermelons. The test of the fungicidal activity of “Stimulin” was carried out on sea buckthorn, the main causative agent of diseases and the cause of drying of which is the Fusarium mushroom. The fungicidal activity of “Stimulin” is comparable to potent synthetic agrochemicals.
