In peach orchards of the Russian humid subtropics, leaf curl is the most dangerous and harmful disease. Due to the high degree of danger from the peach leaf curl, for the first time in this region the main task was to analyze peach leaf curl development on weather conditions. In order to solve the problem, it is proposed to apply a new innovative intellectual technology: automated system-cognitive analysis (ASK-analysis) and its software tools - the “Eidos” system. In order to build the model, based on our own observations and the experience of Russian and foreign colleagues, it was decided to use the following factors: the sum of temperatures above +4 ° C of the current year (for the period from January to April), the sum of temperatures above +4 ° C of the previous year (for the whole year), the sum of precipitation of the current year (for the period from January to April), the sum of precipitation of the previous year (for the whole year), the number of hours of infection (in the current year). It was established that such factors as the number of hours of infection, the sum of temperatures above +4 ° C in April and during the period from January to April, as well as the sum of precipitation in March and April, are the most important in the dynamics of peach leaf curl development and spread. High rates of leaf curl spread and development are caused by the number of hours of infection in the range of 1440 ... 2064 hours, as well as by low air temperatures in March and April (the sum of temperatures above +4 °C – 89,4-240,4° and 283,7-316,7°, respectively) and high air temperatures - in January and February (the sum of temperatures above +4 ° C – 155,3-259,6° and 243,5-280,1°, respectively)
Feijoa crop is valuable due to the complex of useful
traits (high frost resistance, big yield, ornamental
value and long profitable period). These fruits have
delicate flavor, nutritional and dietary properties. The
fruits are juicy with a pleasant, gentle, refreshing
sweet and sour taste, specific strawberry-pineapple
flavor and contain significant quantities of important
substances for the human body. Pectin (up to 2.5%),
sugars (6-14%), proteins, vitamins, organic acids,
mineral salts, etc. are among them. However, the
challenge of its cultivation is the lack of cultivars and
plantations are represented by a mixture of hybrids
originated from free pollination, and characterized by
a great variety in biological and morphological traits,
differing not only in yield, but in size, shape and
yield period. In this connection, the breeders faced
the objective to create new cultivars of feijoa, using
classical and modern breeding methods and available
genetic resources for commercial gardening and
production. Development of the core hybrid diversity
material and selection of promising forms are the
most important stages of the breeding process,
providing success of further breeding programs. The
breeding of varieties and forms for crossings was
carried out according to the principle of combining
the desirable traits of the obtained offspring. There
are direct and reverse crosses in six combinations
('Dachnaya' x 'Superba', 'September' x 'Superba',
'Dagomysskaya' x 'Superba', 'Superba' x 'Dachnaya',
'Superba' x 'September', Superba ; X 'Dachnaya'). The
viability of the pollen was evaluated prior to
pollination, by germination on a nutrient medium -
1% agar-agar + 15% sucrose. The degree of fertility
varied year by year: in 2015 - 60-62%, and in 2016 -
68-77-88%. The best crossing combinations were
established 'September' x 'Superba' and the 'Superba'
x 'Dagomyskaya for the creation of the hybrid
genepool of Feijoa sellowiana. A high percentage of germination of the feijoa seeds was noted in
combinations of 'Dagomyskaya' x 'Superba' (74%)
and 'Superba' x 'Dagomysskaya' (70%).
In the conditions of middle valley of the Lena River on
the cryogenic, inundated, cespitose and chernozemic
soils different steppe communities differently react on
dietary regime. Herb-grass phytocenosis at organic
dietary regime is reformed in cereal phytocenosis with
the contents of cereals to 76% and bean types 19% of
dry basis with productivity to 20 centner of hectare of
dry basis. At the same time the efficiency of the
improved phytocenosis was on charge exchange
energy of 17,3 mega joule of hectare, feed units 1032
and a crude protein of 247 kilo of hectare. The whetgrasses
phytocenosis has provided productivity to
19,4 centner of hectare and the content of perevarimy
protein in 1 feed unit up to 118 gram. So the most
effective for the steppe meadows is using complex
fertilizer (humus of 20 tons of hectare + N60P60K60),
increasing the productivity twice with a high quality of
food
The article identifies the value of livestock in the economy of the Bryansk region; we have also given the spatial-temporal analysis state of the industry and identified the key trends in its development over the past 25 years. This work considers the geography of industries and production of major livestock products
In the world, huge work is being done to create global
information banks of plant genetic resources. The need
for conservation and rational use of genetic resources
in modern conditions has become very relevant.
Genetic collections are the basis for selection work:
creating new varieties, replenishing the assortment
with new, classic, introduced and native varieties,
adapted to the natural (soil and climatic) conditions of
the cultivation sites. In the Anapa ampelographic
collection, 4911 varieties of various ecogeographical
and genetic origin are represented, the use of which
provides great opportunities for creating and breeding
new varieties, their state testing and zoning. In the
gene pool of the ampelographic collection, most
varieties of V. vinifera L. grapes are represented by
local honeycombs of different regions of the grape
culture, and more than one fourth of varieties of V.
vinifera L. are obtained from intraspecific crossings.
Despite the value of local varieties of grapes, they do
not always meet all the requirements of production.
Therefore, to improve the local assortment, it is
necessary to carry out selection - breeding new
varieties of grapes. This article presents the long-term
results of the work on the selection of varieties of table
and technical directions in the Anapa ampelographic
collection used for breeding. Also, the role of the
genetic collection in the creation of new generation
varieties by combinative selection is shown - as
donors for creating new varieties of grapes. Dedicated
varieties are the sources of valuable traits, which are given primary importance and are especially important
for the viticulture of the Russian Federation
In order to find compounds that increase sugar beet resistance to the adverse effects of herbicides, a series of naphthalenesulfonamides derivatives have been synthesized. The protective effect of new compounds for the herbicide mixture Betanal, Lontrel and Super Zeleke was studied in field conditions. The effect of pyridylhydrazones on the synthesis of photosynthetic pigments in leaves was investigated. Substances with a high protective effect were found
The purpose of the study was to examine a century of
experience of growing of forest cultures of the
Siberian stone pine in forest conditions in the region of
the Middle Volga. To achieve these objectives, we
have investigated old growth culture of Siberian stone
pine in the conditions of fresh oak forests in the
territory of Rootka forestry of the Mari El Republic.
Culture of Siberian stone pine was planted after
continuous tillage. The distance between rows was 2,5
m, step landing – 1,0 m. The site was divided into five
options, depending on variations in the width of
planting strip (I-48 m, II-44 m, in III-40 m, IV - 36 m,
V - 32 m). The studies have shown that the Siberian
stone pine trees, regardless of the variant, are
characterized by good clean ability from twigs, which increases with decreasing of the width of the curtain. It
can be noted that in the 100-year-old age, the average
height of trees reaches of 28,7 m, an average diameter
of 49,8 cm. Stock of forest reaches 795,3 m3
/ha. Best
annual increase is observed in growing cultures of
cedar in the wings with a width of 40 m and is 7,95-of
7,93 m3
/ha. Based оn the research, we have concluded
that Siberian stone pine should be recommended for
introduction into the zone of coniferous-broadleaved
forests of the Middle Volga region. When creating
crops, it is necessary to use larger seedlings and plant
density is not more than 1,0 thousand pieces/ha, and
the width of the planting strip shall be not less than
40,0 m.
Intensification of agriculture during the twentieth
century was accompanied by an increase in
international trade, resulting in the resettlement of
many species across continents. As a result of these
processes, many adventives species have become
economically significant and dangerous plants in agro
and urban biosensors. One such plant is Ambrosia
artemisiifolia L., imported from North America to
Russia. The use of chemical means of suppression of
A. artemisiifolia L. often does not give positive results
in agrocenoses, because of its biomorphological
features. In urban areas, within the boundaries of
sanitary zones, the use of chemicals is prohibited.
Therefore, the most promising direction in the
suppression of ragweed ambrosia is the ecologies
method. The article discusses the possibility of using
an ambrosia leaf beetle in the feeding of ragweed in
the territory of Russia
An experiment has been carried out on the effect of
germination of seeds with perlite on the improvement
of the growth force of rye Vyatka-2. The purpose of
the experiment was to study the effect of perlite on
the growth force of seeds under the conditions of
additional fertilizers and changing the volume water
during irrigation. The task of the work was to
determinate the growth force of seeds with perlite.
The growth force of the seeds was determined after
10 days in sprouted seeds in five samples in glass
vessels with three different moisture conditions. It
was proved that germination of seeds with perlite
increased the seed growth force up to 28% in
comparison with seeds grown in sand (a control
sample). The result also depended on decreasing of
humidity rate up to 30-40%
The proposed agro technology for the cultivation of
soft winter wheat contributes to the reproduction of
fertility of leached Chernozem of the Western
Ciscaucasia. As a result of application of fertilizers in
the arable layer of soil hydrolytic acidity decreased by
21.8%, humus content increased by 10.3%, mobile
phosphorus - by 54.8%, mineral nitrogen by 10.3%
and potassium - by 9.6% compared to the control.
Studied agricultural technology allowed to increase the
yield of winter wheat to 81.8 kg/ha and protein to 15.3
per cent, of gluten, to 27.8%. We have noticed
exceeded concentration of mobile phosphorus in the
upper soil horizon (1.5 MРС) in the cultivation of
wheat after alfalfa, which contributed to reduced grain
yield. Under conditions of prolonged application of
fertilizers and pesticides reduced the content of mobile
forms of trace elements - copper and zinc. The content
of mobile forms of Mn, Cu, Zn, Cr, Ni, Co, Pb and Cd
below the limit values of environmental and
Toxicological regulations clayey and loamy soils for
