The article shows the results of the impact of foliar nutrition on crop and product quality of the Grenny Smith apples. Also the impact of the agricultural practices to fruits saving ability is discussed, as well as their quality in terms of sugars, acids and vitamin C. It was found that the use of 3-fold foliar nutrition feeding with nitroammofoska impacts positively on the results of storage.
The effect of spontaneous road network on the natural vegetation and the possibility of accelerated rehabilitation of disturbed land transport by method of agro steppes was studied
The trials were conducted in 2013-2015. Research objects: apple trees cv. Zhigulevskoye/62-396, year of planting – 2007, at 4,5x1m. Place of research – experimental orchard of ”I.V. Michurin Federal scientific centre " in Tambov region. The goal of research: to study the effect of fertigation and foliar nutrition in an intensive apple orchard. During the research there were done yield records, was determined the content of nutrients in leaves and soil. In the soil there was also determined humus content and acidity, fruits were analyzed on vitamin C, saccharides and organic acids contents. Nitrogen in leaves and soil was determined by Kjeldahl method, phosphorus by photocalorimeter KFK-3, potassium and calcium by flame photometer Jenway PFP-7. We have established the optimal average application rate for fertigation in conditions of the Central Chernozem zone of Russia, which could be used to calculate specific application rates with data of soil-leaf diagnostics. In our research, it is shown that the use of this application rate had no significant negative impact on the studied parameters of soil. It is shown that the biochemical composition of fruits is largely determined by weather conditions of the year of vegetation and foliar nutrition. Maximum efficiency of measures for mineral supply optimizing is achieved only with the good combination of fertigation and foliar nutrition
This research reviews an analysis of several problems of milk production process as well as fast methods of dairy cows' health control widely used in the countries of high-level dairy breeding. The results of milk analysis via test stripes reveal that about 30% of cows during transition period - phases transit 2 and 1st phase of lactation - have clinical and subclinical ketosis marks what comes as one of the reasons of cow's low productivity. Evaluation of cows' fatness evidence that only 46,4% of tested animals have normal fatness according to the appropriate lactation period, whereas other animals have too high fatness index and only very small part - 1% have extremely low fatness index. Cows' obesity leads in future to ketosis and disturbance in metabolism. The research also revealed nonconformities in boxes size, they do not satisfy requirements of comfortable Holstein cows handling. The article provides recommendations on implementation of tested methods based on survey in order to suggest the ways of milk production efficiency increase
We have studied the effect of presowing enrichment
with copper on the seed yield of rice. We have found
optimum concentration of water solution of copper,
which provides higher yields of seeds and evaluated
the impact of the enrichment with copper on the
growth processes in the plants of rice. The studies
were conducted in elite seed-growing enterprise
"Krasnoe" of All-Russian Research Institute of rice.
It was found that for rice-growing farms of the
Kuban region with the aim of increasing the quantity
and quality of grain yield it is necessary to make
sowing of rice seeds enriched with copper. This
application should be carried out by wetting the rice
seeds with 0,5 % water solution of the microelement
with a semi-dry method, i.e. the rate of 10 liter
working solution of copper in 1 ton of seed. The
article proves the economic feasibility of enrichment
of rice seeds with copper
In the article, the data of researches of studying of elements of technology of cultivation of winter wheat, taking into account its high-quality features, types of fertilizers and application, joint crops with winter vick provided in the Rostov region, and also the economic assessment is given
In the article there were analyzed the different approaches of Soviet and Russian authors to the assessment of soils regarding to agro-ecological factors. There was given the characteristic of natural-economic zones territorially entering the Azov-Kuban lowland by main soil-climatic indexes. There was considered the valuation of soils which determines their relative value and suitability on main factors of natural fertility or their groups, it serves as a criteria of unification of soils into agro-ecological groups. There were shown the main indexes and order of grouping of soils under unification of different soils into agro-ecological groups. There was calculated the “normative” productivity of main agricultural crops on natural-economic zones of Azov-Kuban lowland which defines the agro-productive value of soil. There were revealed the disadvantages of soil assessment method used in the course of state cadastre valuation of agricultural lands asserted by the order of the Ministry of Economic Development from 20.09.2010 № 445. There were cited the specific rates of cadastre cost (SRCC) of agricultural lands on municipal entities of Krasnodar region. There was given the assessment of obtained data regarding to natural-climatic factors of the region, there were made proposals on optimization of trends of further researches on claimed problem
The article contains research results on the influence
of duration of the first lactation period of sows on
reproductive qualities. The authors have detected
basic problems which reduce indices reproduction of
purebred pigs of the breed of Yorkshire and hybrids
of F1 (Yorkshire x Landras) under conditions of a
new complex. It was found that because of the
increase in duration of lactation period of the sows it
is impossible to increase the safety of the piglets
with a reduced live mass (from big nests and slow in
growth) and improve the reproductive quality of
sows. This method has been used in the economy
what led to a notable improvement in the indices of
pig breeding
In the article, we present results of the research of the
influence of various processings of soil on accumulation
of productive moisture in autumn and winter periods
Results of two- year research on studying of soil cultivation methods influence on its compactness, structural and aggregate content and crop capacity
of winter wheat in the conditions of erosion-dangerous slopes were presented in the article.
Volume mass of soil increases under chisel processing and amount of agronomically valuable aggregates raises as well. Tendency of agronomically valuable aggregates increase in the layer 0-30 cm under use
of fertilizers was marked.
