Sorghum is a source of concentrated, succulent and
coarse forage. Its grain is used for making the mixed
fodder and as the concentrated forage for swine, cows,
sheep, horses and poultry. Sweet sorghum is successfully
used for silage and haylage. Green chop of Sudan grass
is used as fresh food for domestic animals and it’s used
for making hay and silage. The nutritional value of the
fodder is the way to meet the animal needs in nutrients,
necessary for living. To determine the nutritional value
of the fodder, oat fodder units and energy fodder units or
exchange energy are used. At present the assessment of
nutritional value according to fodder units is being
revised, because it doesn’t give the true picture of the
value of fodder nutrition and animal needs in nutrients.
The general energetic nutritional value of fodder is
considered as contents of all organic substances, supplied
with fodder or with its energy. The nutritional value of
fodder is valued according to the characteristics of its
chemical composition, digestion of nutrients and general
(energetic) nutritional value. The purpose of the work is
to assess the nutritional value of fodder, obtained from
the best sorghum varieties, as the food for different kinds
of agricultural animals. Sorghum, used as fodder for
poultry possesses the largest nutritional value. Among
the grain sorghum varieties, the variety ‘Zernogradskoe
88’ has got the biggest value of fodder units. The green
chop of Sudan grass and green fodder for silage of sweet
sorghum possess the greatest nutritional value for swine.
The varieties of Sudan grass ‘Krasava’ and ‘Arkadiya’
and the variety of sweet sorghum ‘Listvenit’ are the best
varieties according to the contents of fodder units
The article analyzes the possibility of complex
processing of one of the most important secondary raw
materials of Krasnodar region – sugar beet pulp with
the aim of obtaining a food product and enriched feed
additives. Meanwhile, the use of environmentally
safety technologies that cause minimal harm to the
environment and human health is provided. One of the
most valuable components of sugar beet pulp after
extraction of sugar is pectin substance. Sugar beet
pectin substances have high complexing ability and are
used not only in food industry, but also in medicine.
They are natural detoxifiers and antioxidants.
Currently, only dry powder pectin is produced from
sugar beet pulp and only by foreign producers. Making
food pectin extracts from sugar beet pulp will not only
reduce the number of processing steps, but also
significantly reduce the cost of the final product. Food
pectin extracts can be used not only as a standalone
product in treatment and prophylactic nutrition, but
also as an ingredient in the manufacture of soft drinks,
confectionery and bakery, meat and dairy products,
etc. The technology of producing a valuable
component of feed bioproduct based on spent sugar
beet pulp and a microscopic fungus of the genus
Trichoderma is described
EFFICIENCY OF CULTIVATION OF DIFFERENT WINTER WHEAT CULTIVARS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE WEST CAUCASUS
The influence of the crop rotation type, predecessor and different doses of mineral fertilizers on the yield of two winter wheat cultivars (Lira and Krasnodar 99) was investigated. The investigations were carried out in the North-Kuban Agricultural Experiment Station in two five-crops: grain tillage and grain - grass tillage rotation of prolonged stationary experience. The soil is the black soil, low in humus, powerful, with humus content, depending on the power of nutrition backgrounds in the arable (0-30sm) soil layer is 3,95-4,00%, of mineral nitrogen is 5,9-8,3 mg / kg of soil, of exchangeable potassium is 330-360 mg / kg of soil. It was found that the maximum value of the winter wheat crop structure elements is noticed in the fertilizer systems with complete mineral fertilizer, and the minimum value - with PK and NK. Winter wheat yield depends on the crop rotation of 8-15%; from its predecessor - 15-18% and 27-31% of the fertilizer. Grain quality was generally determined by the dose of fertilizer. High and higher doses of fertilizers contributed to the protein content from 11.7 to 12.3% and fibrin content - 23,5-24,0%. A strong correlation between yield and agronomic methods was determined
Results of researches on studying of various doses of
mineral fertilizers on efficiency of hybrids of sunflower
Vulcan, the Arena, the Brio and the Signal are given
in article. Researches showed that depending on formation
of biological mass of sunflower reserves of
productive moisture decreased that was a major factor
in productivity formation
The research purpose was estimate of the red oak
growing suitability in Mari El Republic. To achieve
this goal we investigated experienced 44-year-old red
oak plantation at the Botanical garden-Institute,
determined acorns morphological characteristics of red
and English oaks and seedlings grown from them. The
evaluation of red oak plantings identified excess of
average height and tree diameter in comparison with
English oak, but the sanitary condition of both oaks
forests was weakened due to the influence of the
complex of unfavorable factors. Morphological acorns
evaluation showed that the shape factor of acorns of
English oak is equal to 1.64, while the red oak is 1.1.
Biometrics parameters of red oak bareroote seedlings
in the field were higher than English oak bareroote
seedlings. In greenhouse biometric parameters of red oak container seedlings had not excess. According to
this research, red oak is recommended for use in
landscape construction in Mari El Republic
Early-ripening white cabbage has a special place
among the vegetables cultivated in the Kuban region.
It opens the pipeline of vegetables from the open
ground and is supplied to other regions at a time
when shortage of vegetables of domestic production
is felt the most. Modern producer requirements to
domestic hybrids are the highest - product quality,
uniformity and productivity should not concede to
foreign analogues. Ways to improve the quality of
early ripening hybrids: development of lines based on
modern foreign hybrids, high uniformity of lines by
morphological and economic traits. Development of
male sterile lines and dihaploid lines in culturein
vitro can more successfully solve the problem of
quality of early ripening hybrids. The use of the
above methods and approaches helped develop series
of inbred lines - gene sources for complex agronomic
traits. On the vase of obtained lines promising earlyripening
hybrids were developed. One of the hybrids,
Ritsa F1, entered the State register of breeding
achievements. Advantages of the hybrid: earliness,
uniformity and high marketability of heads, high
productivity. According to results of contest trial new
hybrid Milana F1 is passed for State trial, this hybrid
has high productivity potential for growing in sale
cropping. Both hybrids were produced with the
participation of male sterile line Dt46f, resistant to
fusarium. High quality seeds of these hybrids were
produced in a greenhouse in direct crop for a wide
industrial and environmental testing

Introduction of new elements of fruit cultivation
technology into production is one of the elements
of intensification of the branch. The problem of
providing plants with moisture is the key in
modern technology. The purpose of the research
is a development and manufacturing of
innovative methods of water supply of modern
fruit plantations. Researches were conducted in
two fruiting zones of the Krasnodar region
(Northern and Kuban) with the aim of
assessment of influence of different ways of
water supply on the growth and productivity of
apple-tree varieties: Idared and Gala Schniga
grafted on the stock М9 and planted in 2012 due
to the scheme 3,5x0,8 m. There was determined
that the application of the absorbent Aqua Life
and absorbents with the addition of
recommended elements (Ecogel-1; Ecogel-2)
increase the acclimation rate of seedlings on 2-
6%. The presence of proper conducting system to
supply with the moisture and nutrients the
overhead part (roots-leaves) and a large number
of photosynthezing apparatus promoted to obtain
the high-quality fruit productivity, accumulation
of phytomass and increase of fruit quality.
We have found, that complexes of
hydroabsorbents on the basis “Aqua Life”,
“Ecogel-1” and “Ecogel-2” in conditions of
Kuban in fruiting apple-tree plantations on dwarf
stocks showed the high effectiveness on water
supply, for the first time
From 2011 to 2015 in the laboratory conditions there
were studied the physical properties of absorbents in the
controlled environment. There was defined that in the
variant of the "soil+water" the usual colloidal mass is
formed and in variants "soil+absorbents+water" - a
mixture of soil and gel. There was determined that the
least diurnal evaporation was fixed at the use of the
mixture: soil+ preparation “Ecogel-1”. In the control
variant of the experiment the full water evaporation was
marked on 31st day after beginning of the experiment, in
the variant with the use of the absorbent Aqua Life the
whole water evaporated on 48th day, and at the use of
preparations Ecogel-1 and Ecogel-2 the duration of
evaporation of the same amount of water supply at
temperature 22-24оС and air moisture in 55-60%
continued 57-65 days. In the result of five-year
laboratory researches there was determined the
possibility of development of water-saving technology
for fruit plantations. When we used absorbents
(granules, powders) in planting process and watering
resulting the gel-like mass completely collapses the root
system of fruit plants and the operation of the system
"soil-roots-leaves" will not depend on the physical
condition of soil and environment due to water
consumption for transpiration
