Abstract
Biological experiments with nonmedical antibiotics lucensomycin, tetramycins A and B, aureofungins A and B, and antimycin A were carried out. These antibiotics were found to be environmentally friendly preparations possessing antifungal, antibacterial, and insecticidal activities. The prospects for their application for plant protection against diseases and harmful arthropods and for increasing the agricultural crop yield were shown.
