Оценка перспектив сельскохозяйственного использования биологического ресурса лугово-пастбищных биоценозов Воронежской области

Abstract

Highly productive meadow grass communities are a valuable biological resource used in agricultural production. To date, there are several main forms of using natural meadows in agriculture – this is haymaking and grazing. The paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of the biological production of aboveground phytomass of four representative sites of floodplain meadows located in Semiluksky, Ternovsky, Talovsky and Bogucharsky districts of the Voronezh region. The study covers a five-year period from 2019 to 2023. The results of the study show differences in the peak values of the aboveground plant biomass of meadows in different regions of the region, as well as the difference in the timing of the formation of the maximum biomass from the beginning of spring vegetation. Based on the results of the study, conclusions are drawn about the prospects of using the biological resource of meadow phytocenoses in the agricultural production of the region, as well as its scaling. Keywords: BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE OF MEADOW BIOCENOSES, DYNAMIC OF PRODUCTIVITY OF MEADOW BIOCENOSES, REMOTE MONITORING, FEED AND ENERGY VALUE
