Abstract The solution to the problems of enhancing the yield of grain crops in current agriculture development is not conceivable without applying new land processing technology and using mineral fertilizers. Simultaneously, to obtain environmentally friendly products in organic farming, it is required to use mineral organic fertilizers in large quantities. For these purposes, we developed manufacturing technology and proposed the extract of “Saprolin.” This extract, obtained from organogenic lake storage, is supposed to be used for pre-sowing seed treatment, contributing to providing the planting material with biologically active substances, macro- and microelements, and natural soil conservation. During the production of the extract from the obtained source material, solutions of different concentrations were prepared, and their features (viscosity, density, electrical conductivity, refractive index, and pH of the medium) were studied. Using the wheat seeds “Novosibirskaya-31” and barley “Astana-2000” as an example, under the influence of solutions of the obtained extract, the germination and vigor of seeds were determined. As it was proved in experiments, the obtained extract is a good germination stimulant for grain crop seeds. It has a greater effect on seed vigor. Nevertheless, seeds with high vigor are the most viable, give good yield, and provide high-quality products. The germination rate significantly affects plants’ survival, shows the speed of their growth, and characterizes the ability of seeds to germinate in the field evenly (good uniformity). The research determines the germination and vigor of seeds using processing solutions of different concentrations. The research shows that the obtained extract of “Saprolin” increases the germination of seeds of grain crops by 1%–9% and vigor by 12%–19%. The extract of “Saprolin” is classified as a herbal stimulant containing a water-soluble natural mineral substance for improving plant nutrition.
