This work considers the needs and methods of phage
therapy of two bacterial infections in poultry. The
review examines the use of bacteriophages, from the
moment of their discovery to the present day. We
discuss the relevance of such diseases as
compilobacteriosis and colibacteriosis transmitted
from birds to humans, we show how to use
bacteriophages and their efficacy in models of adult
birds and chickens, including information provided on
the pilot study of phage therapy at a poultry farm. The
reported study was partially supported by RFBR,
research projects No. 16-44-230855 and No. 13-04-

The article presents the data on the chemical elements
content in soils, plant leaves and lichens of three
squares in Rostov-on-Don. The calculation of the total
index of soil contamination by chemical elements finds
that soils of the square are characterized by a low
degree of contamination
The article deals with the problem of eliminating
environmental pollution by oil-contaminated waste. It's
suggested modern ways of improving technologies for
oily waste utilization. The comparative characteristic
of the essence, advantages and disadvantages,
effectiveness of ways of waste recycling is described.
The basic utilization technologies of oil sludge of
various origins are emphasized taking into account the
aspects of their composition and properties. It's
represented the results of a patent search in this area to
ensure a high level of new developments. It's
characterized the developed technologies for
utilization and recycling of oily waste to produce
environmentally products of utilization – organic and
mineral additives which are suitable for use as
secondary material resources
An important element in the technology of growing
seed plants of onion is the use of physiologically active
substances to protect plants from frost in early spring
growing season. Damage to plants during this period
affects seed production. In the experiment we used
preparation called Epin-Extra R, with which the leaves
of plants were treated a day before expected frost. Test
results have shown high efficiency of preparation in the
field and in the film unheated greenhouse. Treatment
helps to balance the negative impact of low
temperatures and obtain an additional seeds yield 92-95
kg / ha more compared with the control, due to the
increase of seed of productivity of plants to 3.2 g
The research results on regeneration activity of
wilding cuttings of phylloxeraresistant varieties of
grapes influenced by heteroauxin treatment are
analysed in the article. The preliminary studies were
held in All-Russian research institute of viticulture
and wine-making of Ya.I. Potapenko using cuttings of
3 grape varieties – Berlandieri x Riparia Cober 5bb,
Riparia x Rupestris 101-14 and Berlandieri x Riparia
CO-4. The cuttings were soaked during 48 hours in
0,005 % heteroauxin and were implanted in sand in
adjustable conditions of temperature, humidity and
aeration. In 2012-2013 experiments were continued in
Kuban State Agrarian University. The varieties
Gravesak, RSB and Berlandieri x Riparia Teleki 5C
were added to the experiment. Three-items buds were
shooted in damp steamed sawdust in a film hothouse.
In preliminary researches application of heteroauxin
has allowed to increase root-growing by 20,3-40,0 %.
The greatest increase of root-growing (40 %) was
observed on variety СО-4, that is characterized by the
weakest potential rhizogenesis activity, and the least
(20,3 %) on control variety Cober 5 bb. Next
researches show that treatment of cuttings basal ends
by 0,01 % heteroauxin activated their regeneration
process, that was expressed in: increase in sprouts
length – variety 5 C, 101-14 and Gravesak by 23,1-
157,6 %; increasing of cuttings root-growing from
16,7 % on variety 5C to 60,0 % on variety Cober 5 bb,
the quantity of cuttings with not fewer of 3 roots from
accordingly 13,0 % to 54,7 %; increasing of roots
from 0,7 on variety СО-4 to 2,7 on variety 101-14 or
in 1,7-2,7 times. The application of heteroauxin on
variety RSB did not show positive results, because of
the variety peculiarities
At present, the demand of producers and the market
determine the model of future varieties. Task for
breeders is to develop varieties having a set of
economic and biological traits fitting into the model
templates. The developed varieties and hybrids should
ensure for climatic conditions of the Krasnodar region
consistently high yields, better product quality and
maximum efficiency of crop industry. As a result of
breeding work there was developed a watermelon
variety called Yubilyar, belonging to medium-ripening
group, having high figures of economically valuable
traits. The variety has resistance to unfavorable factors
of growing conditions and stable yields. It is suitable
for cultivation in rainfed areas and practically does not
require protective measures against major diseases
prevalent in the southern regions. Fruits are large, of
wide elliptical shape, with bright crispy red flesh and a
thin crust. Determined by stable fruiting under
different weather conditions, friendly yield return,
commercial fruits – up to 92%. Potential yield – up to
25 t/ha. Good stored for 40-50 days, suitable for
transportation on a long distance. Passed preliminary
tests on the fields in the Krasnodar, Rostov regions and
the Republic of North Ossetia. According to results of
evaluation from producers the variety meets
requirements of the market and has a commercial
appeal
The phenomenon of fasciation on the example of higher
plants was considered. The effect of fasciation on the
various particularities of plants has been shown. The
numerous examples of the different groups of plants with
fasciation bodies are given. We have demonstrated that
the phenomenon of fasciation is more common for
cultivated plants than for wild. In most cases, fasciation
is considered as an exceptional phenomenon. A number
of authors have distinguished fasciation to inheritable
and non-inheritable. The first is caused by internal
reasons. The second is the influence of external factors
such as insect damage, injury, weather conditions. The
number of regularities was installed: reproductive bodies
of plants fasciationing more often; thermophilic forms
are more likely to be fasciation. The images of different
cultures with fasciation parts are given. We discuss using
the introduction of the term ”connаtions” as
morphological abnormalities. Fasciation can be
considered as a marker trait for the cause of this
phenomenon with violation of ecological situation. The
plants with morphosis, including fasciation of the certain
parts of bodies, can act as indicators of environmental
pollution. The study of the phenomenon of fasciation in
higher plants can be regarded as a method of breeding for
large fruit size. From one side, to establish the adaptation
abilities of newly created genotypes. Thus, the
phenomenon of fasciation has affected many areas of
science. On the other side, it is proof of the violations
caused by environmental factors. On the other hand, it is
hereditary reasons, and can also serve as a model for
studying morphogenesis
The article presents the long-term data (2007-2015.)
biometric aboveground plant parts and the estimation of
the prospects of the three introduced botanical species
of juniper and recommendations for their use in
landscape design. We have established very promising,
promising and unpromising varieties for landscaping in
the conditions of the foothill zone of the Krasnodar
region out of 16 varieties of juniper species: China,
ordinary and rock

Tomato is one of the most popular vegetables in Kuban. Every year, the area under this crop in the region occupies more than 11 thousand ha. Currently the State Register of Breeding Achievements approved for use in Krasnodar region, includes more than 90 tomato varieties and hybrids, however, the need for new, more productive varieties is not reduced. The important task of breeding is development of varieties and F1 hybrids with stable realization of the potential, with high level of yield ability, resistance to adverse environmental factors. In the southern regions of Russia for tomatoes, especially during flowering and fruit ripening, the most unfavorable abiotic environmental factors are excessive heat (air temperature 35 - 45 ° C or higher) and high solar radiation. Adverse temperature conditions often act as a deterrent in obtaining high yields, due to the flowers and fruits drop. The article presents the results of breeding activities of the last ten years (2007 - 2016) on development of new tomato varieties and F1 hybrids for different purposes As a result of studies there were developed four tomato varieties and one F1 hybrid that meet the requirements of production and are adapted to abiotic conditions of cultivation in open field in Kuban
