The article considers tendencies of development of the
agroindustrial complex based on intellectualization of
technical means, development and implementation of
robotic machines in different manufacturing operations.
We have analyzed design features and practical
application of robots with vision systems in crop
production. We have identified the feasibility and
effectiveness of the introduction of new physical
methods of processing plants by means of robotic tools
that will automate technological processes of
processing plants. The article describes the analysis of
the mobility of the model of robots developed in the
WIM based on mathematical simulation at different
operating conditions. To check the model, we present
calculations of the dynamic behavior of the robot body
at different driving modes. The study shows the graphs
of movement parameters obtained from the results of
simulation and dynamics of dispersal. The analysis
identified the advantages of technological application of the robot on the example of gardening
With the possible radioactive contamination of the
territory, as a result of emergency situations at
enterprises of the nuclear fuel cycle, there occurs a
task of further use of the soil for agricultural purposes.
Researches on the cultivation on contaminated areas of
fruit plants in the conditions of the Krasnodar region
were not carried out. As a result of the experiment in
the field we received experimental material on
migration and 90Sr accumulation in vegetative and
generative organs of cherry-plum. Research lasted for
8 years. The accumulation of 90Sr, placed on the
surface of the soil, in the bark, wood, leaves, and fruit
was 7,0×102
; 4,8×102
; 9,7×102
and 1.8 ×102Bq/kg.
With the penetration of 90Sr in soil at 50 cm
accumulation in the bark, wood, leaves, and fruit were:
5,1×102
; 3,0×102
; 6,9×102
; 1,4×102Bq/kg. The
experimental material obtained in the field makes it
possible to calculate the coefficients of the nuclide
transition from polluted soil to the various organs of
the studied plant and to make a forecast of the possible
use of contaminated areas for the cultivation of fruit
crops. Radioactive contaminated areas cannot be left
without proper control, since, firstly, non-planted
fields are exposed to wind and water erosion of soils,
which leads to rapid and large-scale pollution of the
environment and, secondly, if it is possible to obtain
products from such fields, this should be done for
economic reasons
Lodging resistant is a very important factor of limitation of the yield of barley. The yield of lodged crops may be decreased up to 50%. The quality of the yield also deteriorates which negatively affects brewery characteristics. The lodging resistance of a variety is determined genetically and depends on a plant height and weather conditions during dynamic vegetation. One of the main aims of breeding of the crop for lodging resistance is the selection of short-stem varieties. However, a thorough study of the basic material and determination of its adaptability to a particular soil and climatic zone and suitability of its usage as parental forms are needed. The article covers the plant height of collection varieties of winter barley in the central zone of Krasnodar region and determines the groups of the varieties based on this trait. The dynamic of plant height formation depending on the vegetative conditions during five years is studied. The examination of lodging resistance of winter barley revealed that there are many non-lodging forms of the crop. New local varieties and lines have short and strong culms. Also, some varieties from Western Europe and the USA show its good lodging resistance under these conditions
To improve the quality, safety and competitiveness
of the domestic raw materials of animal origin the
use of probiotics in the poultry industry is a priority
and promising direction of the development of
organic agriculture. One of the key problems of the
production of probiotics is to provide actively
stable preparations. Biocompatibility of the
indigenous microflora with probiotics, medical
form and individual range of antibacterial activity
of probiotics have a significant impact on the
introduction of probiotics in new habitat conditions
and its effectiveness. Consideration of these factors
can enhance the effectiveness of probiotics.
Currently, the available literature has insufficient
justification of certain doses of administration and
methods of using different probiotic preparations.
The materials present and summarize the results of
the research concerning the use of probiotics in the
poultry industry, based on the achievements of
Russian and foreign scientists. In addition, based
on the analysis of various sources of scientific
literature, we suggest ways to solve the problem of
probiotic therapy and give some recommendations
on the organization of the technological process of
selection and application of different probiotics in
poultryfeeding. Raw meat from poultry reared with
the use of probiotic preparations is safe, because
metabolites of probiotic microorganisms are not
accumulate in the body tissues. Researches of
biosynthesis regularities of probiotics were made at
the cellular level, including genetic aspects,
features of regulation of secretion, dependence on
the cultivation conditions, interaction with binding
sites on the cell surface, participation in the vital
activity of the population of individual cells. The
use of probiotics contributes to normalization of
the intestinal microflora, activation of protein
metabolism, productivity increase, reduction of
feed costs per unit of production and increasing of
poultry industry economic efficiency as a whole
Under the current conditions, it is very important to
boost the production of pork and improve its sanitary
and hygienic quality for the successful handling of
problems subjected to import substitution of meat
products. This can be reached by means of
strengthening of food reserve. For that purposes, in the
frame of two experiments yacon tubers in combination
with enzymatic agent protosubtilin GZx have been
introduced in the intakes of fattening pork stores
instead of fodder beat, and various doses of carbitox
adsorbent have been additionally added when
superfluous background of heavy metals was
observed. During the 1st experiment, the substitution of
fodder beet with the similar quantity of yacon tubers
has allowed the animals of experimental group to
outweigh the ones from the control group on 7,5% in
the terms of gross formation of body weight, and to
gain 100 kg of body weight for 7 days ahead of the
animals from control group as well. Additionally,
fodder costs per product have been reduced and the
morphological and biochemical values of animals
blood have been optimized. Based on the data from
2
nd experiment, it has been defined that the better dose
for feeding of adsorbent carbitox was 2,0 kg per tonne
of concentrates thereby the animals of 3rd experimental
group had reasonably higher body weight gain and
thereby higher feed-conversion ratio by products.
Therewith, the animals intermediary metabolism has
been speeded up due to optimization of morphological and biochemical values of blood and reduction of
heavy metals content in blood serum, in other words
level of zinc, lead and cadmium was not exceeding
maximum allowable concentration
The article presents the results of studies of 92
indigenous varieties and 15 wild genotypes by 24
microsatellite markers. As a result a locus database about
germplasm in the collection stored at the Russian
ampelographical collection AZOSViV (Anapa Zone
Experimental Station of Viticulture and winemaking)
was created. During the research of varietal breeding
populations confirmed the validity in the production of
the cultivar of Krasnostop anapsky with obvious changes
in microsatellite sequences as a clone of famous indigenous
Don cultivar Krasnostop Zolotovskii. This clone
was selected in 1953 by prominent agrotechnologist
Zotkin Ivan Ivanovich which is propagated by the
author and his followers, and after a formal registration
submitted to state testing in 2007 in GSK RF, zoned in
the North Caucasus region (number 6) in 2014 year. Sort
-clone Krasnostop anapsky only in the Kuban today
cultivating in 35 hectares. By using molecular genetic
techniques, now clonal selection of vine grapes is reasonably
improving. Recent data collected by us in the
work process, were analyzed a comprehensive manner,
making it possible to draw conclusions about distinctness
of grape varieties. Some clones were studied by DNA
primers, based on retrotransposon sequences
The study was carried out during 2010-2015 years in the
All-Russian research Institute of Grain Crops named
after I.G. Kalinenko (the laboratory of the cultivation
technology of plowing crops), situated in the southern
soil-climatic zone of the Rostov region, which is characterized
with the unstable and insufficient humidity. The
trials were conducted on the heavy loamy, calcareous
chernozem obyknovenny (natural blacksoil). The object
of the study was the grain sorghum variety ‘Zernogradskoe
53’, approved to use in the Rostov region. The agroclimatic
conditions during the years significantly differed
during the vegetation in the amount of precipitations
(from 110.2 mm in 2010 to 200.2 mm in 2013) and
in the temperature regime (from 2512.9 0С in 2010 to
2788.8 ºС in 2015), that allowed evaluating the grain
sorghum productivity more objectively. The article gives
the study results of the effect of the weather conditions
on the duration of vegetation, productivity and grain
quality (content of protein, oil, ash and fiber). The article
showed the estimated interconnection among the sum of
active temperatures, precipitations and hydrothermal
coefficient during the sorghum vegetation with the principal
economic-valuable traits of grain sorghum. The
sum of active temperatures showed the greatest effect on
the duration of the vegetation (r=0.89); the sum of precipitations
during the vegetation had the greatest effect
on the productivity (r=0.80). There was determined the
strongest positive correlation of the sum of active temperatures
with the content of protein in the grain sorghum
kernels (r=0.80) and the average negative correlation
with the content of oil (r=-0.69). The sums of active
temperatures and precipitations, when the grain sorghum
gives the largest productivity, were established
The article deals with the issue of improving the
profitability of sheep breeding by using improved
mutant genotypes in the breeding system. The results
of studies of the main indicators of economic-useful
traits are given, the dynamics of growth, level and
quality of wool productivity of sheep of improved
genotypes obtained on the basis of such breeds as
Soviet merino and Stavropolskaya, as well as firstgeneration
daughters cultivated in themselves are
estimated. It was found that at birth, the live weight in
the groups of the 3 group (the breeding of half-blooded
hybrids "in oneself") was higher than that of the
females from the 1 and 2 groups, respectively, by 0.50
kg, or 13.1%, and by 0.20 kg or 5.2% (P> 0.95). At a
more senior age, the young, having a large live mass at
birth, retained its rank position. The highest indicator
of the cutting of physical wool was observed in animals
of the 2 group, obtained as a result of the use of sheepproducers
of Stavropolskaya breed on sheep of the
Soviet merino. The parameters of the 1 and 3 group
were lower by 0.6 kg - 12.3% and 0.17 kg - 3.5% (P>
0.95), respectively. The conclusion is made that the use
of sheep-producers of the Stavropolskaya breed on the
uterus of the Soviet merinos breed had a positive effect
on the wool productivity and the live weight of the
hybrid offspring. Further breeding of half-blooded
hybrids “in oneself” showed the possibility of
reproducing improved genotypes without losing the
acquired qualities
In Nizhny-Volzhsky Agricultural Research Institute
at Dubovskoye strong point, by hybridizing local
varieties with southern varieties, and by using
cultivated hybrids from free pollination, a number of
plum varieties combining winter hardiness with high
fruit quality have been introduced. The varieties
Volgograd, Bogatyrskaya and Vengerka
Korneevskaya are sorted, as well as a number of
other local Volga varieties obtained by
hybridization: Volga Blue, Summer Ternosly,
Autumn Ternon with the most adaptive introduced
varieties. These Volga varieties are donors of winter
hardiness. The environmental conditions of the
Lower Volga region contribute to the development
of adaptive genotypes that combine winter hardiness
with high fetal quality. The use of new varieties of
plums obtained in the Lower Volga region, in
crosses with the best varieties of plum, allows the
creation of industrial varieties of this crop
The article gives a brief summary on the results of the
introduction of rose varieties of climbing type in the
central sub-zone of the Krasnodar region. Starting
from the year 2000 in our institute a collection of roses
from different garden groups, which includes 164
varieties, has been formed. Presently the rose varieties
with long stems (from 2.5 m or more) are popular
among specialists of landscape industry and floristlovers.
Therefore we carry on introductions and study
rose varieties of the groups of Rambler and LargeFlowered
Climber. Rose varieties with valuable
decorative signs, with enhanceable resistance to cold
and drought-resistingness are selected. The valuable
varieties and sources of the indicated signs are
identified. Varieties of Albertine, American Pillar,
Devichiy grezy are the sources of bright flower color;
Bobbie James, Dorothy Perkins, Duc de Constantine -
sources of long (more than 4 meters) of flexible
shoots Warthburg - the source of early flowering.
Variety New Daun - one of the few varieties of
Rambler, which is characterized by re-bloom
throughout the growing season in the conditions of the
Krasnodar region. The indicative collection of several
rose varieties includes the group of Large-Flowered
Climber. A variety called Adzhimushkay is a source of
large fragrant flowers of bright and early flowering.
For the variety of Crimskiy Motive we noted the
presence of a valuable feature - long flowering during
the dry season (July-August). Flammentanz was
included into the collection as one of the most winter
resistant varieties of large-flowered. Promising
varieties of the series of Super Rambler in the
conditions of Krasnodar in the dry season formed short
shoots, and flowers were not formed. Rose varieties
included into the collection can be considered
indicative of "anchor" genotypes, which are valuable
for involvement into the selection process
