Introduction
According to thermodynamics, to control
a biological system, no matter what system it is - microbes, plants or animals
(including human society), two conditions must be met.
a) It is necessary to study and understand the features of internal regulation
of this system. And having understood that:
b) Create most favorable conditions for its self-development. Do not force the
system to change in the direction desired by certain individual, but to promote
self-development, creating conditions required for that.
Unfortunately, this principle is most often not taken into account and not
observed by the human. After all, to do it correctly, one needs to think
carefully, instead of destroying everything around and showing his coolness.
And which is most important, prevent violation of the objective laws of nature,
which sooner or later would end with environmental disasters. In this regard,
the slogan “human is the ruler of nature” should be considered the most harmful
and strongly propagated by the authority’s thesis. This opinion arose under the
influence of certain achievements of the human in the creation of highly
productive plant varieties [1]. We should note that humans immediately
absolutize every achievement, even minor, but a new one. When formation of ATP
under the influence of light was discovered, it was immediately declared that
the main regulation mechanism is ATP deficiency. After discovery of the
regulatory involvement of cell membranes, everything was explained by a change
in membrane permeability. They discovered genetic codes and genetics became the
main thing in all the regulations. During the Lysenko period in Russia,
genetics was suppressed, but then it returned to normal. But now the role of
genes is being absolutized. And their role as an executive mechanism for the
accumulation of information has become dominant, and even more important than
metabolism itself.
But humans’ actions change a lot without understanding the consequences.
Selecting plants with large fruits, people did not see what was happening with
a root system that was outside their field of vision [2]. As a result, all
cultivated plants have a root system 2-3 times smaller than that of their
evolutionary predecessors. The consequences of that were tragic. A small root
system provided an increased yield only with sufficient moisture and a high
concentration of minerals in the soil. This promoted hydroponics. In such
conditions, the use of mineral fertilizers has intensified with a simultaneous
increase of plants quantity per unit of sown area (hectare). There was even an
idea of “PROGRAMMING THE HARVEST”. Its principle is as follows. If you want to
get a high yield, add the appropriate amount of minerals to the soil. In
Europe, where soil fertility is insufficient and humidity is high, the role of
mineral fertilizers has especially increased. While teaching economics and
ANALYSIS of economic activity to students in the 1960s, I proudly told the
students that in Holland they apply 1 ton of mineral fertilizers per hectare,
whiler we (in Russia) are only 60-100kg / ha. At that time, students were told
about the small root system of cultivated plants, that the plant does not need
a large root size, since we give it all the necessary resources (water and
minerals). And then we get a high yield.
