The natural bio-activator is a green product which is useful in pomiculture and afforestation as well as grain production.

With hundreds of ingredients needed for plant growth, it strengthens the photosynthetic capacity and root activity of plants.

It was developed by Doctor Yu Son Ok, Section Chief of the Botany Institute under the State Academy of Sciences.

Yu Son Ok has devoted herself to researches for the green agricultural development of the country for decades.

She developed new botanical chemicals with natural resources rich in the country, which do not give damage to the ecological environment as well as the human at all, making it possible to exterminate tens of kinds of harmful insects which greatly affected the grain production.

As a result, she was awarded the February 16 Science and Technology Prize, the highest prize in the scientific field of the country, in 2008.

Afterwards, she concentrated efforts on the research into bio-fertilizer which raises the photosynthetic capacity and root activity of plants while giving no damage to the human and animals and plants and finally developed the natural bio-activator that is not only good for preventing drought damage and cold-weather damage but also effective for minimizing the damage of crops from diseases.

In April 2017 the World Intellectual Property Organization awarded a medal of inventor to Yu Son Ok who developed the natural bio-activator, an organic fertilizer made of vegetable materials.

Several years have passed since then.

In those years, Dr. Yu further intensified the research for maximizing the effectiveness of the natural bio-activator together with other researchers.

"The natural bio-activator was made by extracting organic active ingredients from plants abundant in our country.

We have recently doubled its effectiveness by adding some more organic active ingredients."

Last year, the natural bio-activator developed by Dr. Yu Son Ok was widely introduced into farms across the country.

It won popularity at those units which introduced it for its great practicality.

Yu Son Ok always had an idea of transforming even a blade of grass into priceless treasure.

She is in her 70s. But she is still making researches for finding out useful plant resources with her tireless enthusiasm.
