The present article is concerned with materials based on polyhydroxybutyrate and polylactide as new materials for seed carriers, producing a stimulating effect on their germinating ability as well as the growth and development of plants. It has been established that the growth of wheat is fundamentally affected by the structure of these materials. The composition and chemistry of polymers determine a mechanism of its biodegradation in a biological environment. At the same time, the structure of polymers and polymer of composites determines the speed and affects the kinetics of processes. Thus, the use of the biodegradable polymers has a positive impact on both the growth of plants and the environment.
