Application of revitalize liquid biocomplex to increase adaptability of grapes at planting in open ground conditions

At present, the range of modern grape varieties suitable for cultivation in the conditions of the Non-Black Earth zone of the Russian Federation is represented by hybrids of different species origin derived from Vitis berlandieri Planch., Vitis Amurensis Rupr., Vitis riparia Michx., Vitis Labrusca L., which are characterized by low ability to vegetative propagation. Therefore, the development of techniques to improve the technology of accelerated propagation of these varieties, including the technology of clonal micropropagation is currently urgent. However, most studies in the field of in vitro propagation of grapes are devoted to laboratory experiments, but there is little information on the influence of the propagation method on the development indicators and vegetative productivity of grape mother plantations in protected and open ground conditions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop methods of application of Revitalize liquid to increase the adaptability and stress resistance of ex vitro grape plants during summer transplanting into the open ground to create mother plantations. The research objectives are to reveal the effectiveness of feeding (root, foliar, combined) with Revitalize liquid during summer transplanting ex vitro grape plants of grape varieties Kishmish № 342, Moscow White and Kober 5BB rootstock into the open ground. The obtained results indicate that double combined treatments (root 500 ml: 500 ml H2O + foliar 25 ml:1000 ml H2O) are effective for pre-growing of ex vitro mother plants of Kishmish № 342 and Kober 5BB rootstock in open ground conditions, and double root feeding (at a concentration of 25 ml:1000 ml H2O) with Revitalize liquid is promising for Moscow White variety.

Heavy Metal Contamination of Gray Forest Soil in Oilseed Agrocenoses using Mineral Fertilizers

Background: The purpose of the research is to study the features of contamination of dark gray forest soils with heavy metals and to establish the yield of oil cabbage crops as a result of the use of various levels of mineral nutrition in the conditions of the Non-black earth zone of Russia. Methods: The experiments were carried out on the dark gray forest soils of Ryazan region in crops of spring rape, white mustard and gray mustard (Sarepta). Soil sampling to determine HMs was carried out before the experiment. Determination of heavy metals was carried out by atomic absorption spectrometry using a semi-quantitative spectral method on a spectrophotometer in the laboratory of the State Station of the Agrochemical Service “Ryazanskaya” and the laboratories of the university. Result: The studied types and combinations of mineral fertilizers had effect on the growth and development of plants. The effectiveness of the use of mineral nutrition doses proves its high efficiency in studies with oilseed crops in the conditions of the Non-Chernozem zone of Russia. The highest yields, for spring rapeseed (19.3 dt ha-1), for gray mustard (13.7 dt ha-1) and white mustard (12.2 dt ha-1), were observed in the variants with the action of N90-120P60K60.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА МАТОЧНЫХ РАСТЕНИЙ ВИНОГРАДА НА ИХ СПОСОБНОСТЬ К ВЕГЕТАТИВНОМУ РАЗМНОЖЕНИЮ

For many years, grapes were considered to be an unpromising crop in the conditions of the Central Non-Black Earth Zone but their wider spread has been encouraged by the appear- ance of new varieties whose berries ripen in a relatively short time. The assortment of modern grape varieties for amateur cultivation in the non-Black Earth Zone consists mainly of interspecific hybrids based on Vitis amurensis Rupr., Vitis riparia Michx., Vitis labrusca L., Vitis berlandieri Planch., which causes problems with their vegetative propagation. The article is devoted to the study of the effect of the method of obtaining planting material from vine mother plants on the increase of the regenerative capacity of the singletree cuttings obtained from them. During the threeyear research on the grape varieties Kishmish No. 342 and Moskovskiy Beliy, experiments were carried out on the additional growth of mother plants propagated by green and singletree cuttings and by the method of clonal micropropagation. As a result of the research, the advantage of using the technology of clonal micropropagation in the production of seedlings for the establishment of vine mother plantations was revealed. At the same time, the variety Kishmish No. 342 showed reliable differences from the control in terms of development indicators from the 2nd year of cultivation, and the variety Moskovskiy Beliy – from the 3rd year. Both varieties received 1.8–2.1 times more standard seedlings from mother plants propagated in vitro for three years on the basis of high rooting ability of singletree cuttings and the proportion of seedlings according to GOST 31783–2012.

Dacha as a social and economic phenomenon and its role in rural development in Russia

This article delves into the proliferation of dacha as a second / temporary country residence for urbanites in Russia. The phenomenon is viewed from a socio-cultural and economic perspective, uncovering the reasons behind their popularity among Russian city dwellers­. These reasons are related to the geographical, historical, and economic features of the nation as well as to the evolution of rural areas and agriculture across various zones. The article analyzes the diversity of second homes, their types, quantities as well as ­preferences and activities of dacha dwellers (dachniks), their socio-economic composition­ and the challenges they face, contingent on the geographic location of these estates and the demand for them among specific urban groups. It is found that the interaction ­between dachniks who come from urban centers, local communities, and rural economies, as well as the distinctive facets of dacha life, vary markedly depending on the natural and socio-economic conditions, which are largely shaped by the remoteness of a place from cities. Special emphasis is put on the distribution and distinctiveness of dachas in the Non-Black Earth zone regions of central Russia, where their prevalence and significance are especially pronounced.

The effect of correlation between a spring wheat variety with soil tillage technologies and doses of nitrogen fertilizers on the interannual yield stability

There was studied the possibility of reducing the effect of weather conditions on spring wheat productivity in the Non-Blackearth zone due to improving tillage technologies. There has been established that on soddy-podzolic light loamy soil, on the fields of the Ivanovsky Research Institute of Agriculture in the period 2013–2019, the difference in the number of productive stems per m2 when using plowing or minimal tillage was not significant when the HTC changed from 0.73 to 2.65, except the year of 2017 (HTC = 2.19), when there was increased soil moisture throughout the vegetation period. The advantage of minimal tillage under these conditions was 30 %. According to number of kernels per ear, there was identified a significant advantage (more than 20 % (HTC = 2.65; 0.99)) of plowing over minimum tillage (by 13–14 %) during the years with soil moisture in the wheat booting stage. When applying experimental tillage, there have been formed areas with a variable density in the lower part of the arable layer, each of which is favorable for plant development under a certain soil moisture. The transition to experimental tillage has increased number of productive stems on 1–6 %. Number of kernels per ear when using experimental tillage significantly exceeded this indicator (by 5–18 %) under a minimum tillage in the entire range of moisture. Compared to plowing, the advantage of experimental tillage according to number of kernels per ear was 0–27 %. The effect of weather conditions on a number of productive stems was 74.8 %, and number of kernels per ear was 32.4 %. The effect of mineral fertilizers on these parameters of the yield structure was 1.8 and 26.2 %, respectively.

Breeding evaluation of black currant on the basis of shrub habitus

Results of phenotypic evaluation of black currant genetic collection, selected forms, inbred and hybrid progeny by shrub habitus are presented. The possibility of using promising genotypes to produce the progeny with an optimal type of crowns was studied. Studies were conducted in 2017- 2021 in the conditions of the Bryansk region in the plots of the genetic collection, competitive study of selected forms, and hybrid black currant stock. The cultivation of black currants in the collection plantations and on the hybrid plot was carried out in accordance with the common in the Non-Black Earth Zone of Russia agro-technique. The weather conditions of the Bryansk region are typical for the Central region of Russia, the climate is moderately continental. Differentiation of varieties and selected forms by crown shape of plants was carried out. Hybridological analysis of inheritance of shrub habitus trait on the example of nine families from controlled crosses, three populations from self-pollination of genotypes different in shrub shape and three - from free pollination of promising black currant genotypes was performed. Varieties corresponding to the individual parameters of combine berry harvesting technology in terms of shrub habitus, base width, plant height were identified. These include the varieties Litvinovskaya, Myth, Rita, Kudesnik, Kudmig, Ben Hope, Nezhdanchik, Podarok Astakhova, Tamerlan, Tiben, Etyud, Chernavka and others, as well as a number of promising hybrids - 4-94-1, 3-80-01, 4-5-2, 4-19-04, 62-03-7, etc. The phenotypic evaluation of black currant progeny showed that the manifestation of the shrub habitus trait has a significant dependence on the crown type of the genotypes involved in the breeding work.

Substantiation of Typical Agricultural Areas As a Methodological Basis for the Development of Regional Machine Systems

It was shown that when developing regional systems of technologies and machines, it is important to take into account all natural agro-climatic conditions and production capabilities in each region’s agricultural sector.Research purpose To develop a methodology for substantiating typical agricultural territories in each agricultural region so that the calculation results obtained for this territory are then generalized for the entire region.Materials and methods The production potential of the region was monitored, the basic assessment criteria were statistically processed and typical agricultural territories were selected according to the minimum deviation of the criteria particular values for the individual regions from the average weighted values for the whole region. All target territories within the region were grouped into homogeneous samples according to the minimum criteria variance. An algorithm for the sequence of computational and logical operations was proposed. The territories were assessed according to three uniformity criteria: the minimum sum of ranks for the priority of each basic criterion, the number of priority basic criteria, and the comparative significance of each region production potential. For typical areas, it was proposed to perform computer calculations of technical support options.Results and discussion The calculations were performed for the Central Non-Black Earth Zone of the Russian Federation. The following basic criteria for the production resources of the regions were adopted: the total arable land, the number of tractors, tractor availability and capability, the number of agricultural organizations in the region, the area for sowing grain crops, vegetables, and planting potatoes. The monitoring of the production resources criteria revealed their uneven distribution across the region and the subsequent necessity to identify two or three typical agricultural territories.Conclusions An algorithm was proposed for selecting typical territories and agricultural organizations in the region based on the case of the Central Non-Black Earth Zone of the Russian Federation. Within this zone, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Bryansk, and Yaroslavl regions were identified as typical ones.

Using growth regulators in production of peas

Intensive agriculture poses new challenges for science and practice that go far beyond increasing the gross yield. They include the prevention of lodging of cereals when high agricultural background, the synchronization of fruit ripening, which is necessary for their machine harvesting, an increase in the proportion of early harvesting with its unchanged value. The competent use of plant growth regulators will allow solving such problems. In most cases, they are not used to increase the yield of dry matter per unit area. This task is successfully solved by such traditional means as fertilizers. Physiologically active compounds are widely used in vegetable and berry crops, in crops of grain and legumes. These crops, due to their biological characteristics, require management of growth and development during the period of crop formation, especially in conditions of the Non-Black Earth Zone. All common pea varieties are characterized by uneven ripening, cracking of beans, being close to the soil and significant lodging of stems. All these things force researchers to search for physiologically active compounds that can shorten the stem, activate photosynthetic activity, accelerate maturation, facilitate harvesting and increase productivity. Undoubtedly, as the understanding of the mechanisms of hormonal regulation of plant growth and development is expanded and deepened, more and more possibilities will appear for managing these processes to increase productivity or reduce labor costs.

The influence of tillage methods on the yield of oilseeds of the Brassicaceae family

The analysis of productivity studies of spring oilseeds of the Brassicaceae family during their cultivation on gray forest soil in the crop rotation link in Ryazan region, Russia is proposed. The influence of variants of the main tillage on the yield of spring rape variety Ratnik and spring rape variety Lipchanka has been studied. The experiments were carried out in 2015-2020 on dark gray forest soils. Agrotechnical measures for the cultivation of spring oilseeds are typical for the Non-Black Earth Zone of Russia, which includes Ryazan region. On average, according to the research results, the highest yield in spring rape was recorded on the variant of the fallow link of the crop rotation + moldboard processing (3.13 t/ha), in the spring rape (2.56 t/ha). When determining the biological activity of the soil, the method of linen with a density of 150 g/m2 was used. In the experiment, on the variant with the moldboard method, when using a reversible plow, the degree of decomposition of the linen was the greatest in the experiment. In agrocenoses of agricultural crops, a pattern was noted for an increase in biological soil activity, in rape the degree of decomposition was recorded in 45.3 % and in spring coleseed it was 41.9 %.

Optimization of the Androgenesis Method in the In Vitro Culture of Anteneson the Basis ofT. AestivumHybrids

This study aimed to examine the regularities of the regenerationprocesses of haploid plants, the dependence of in vitro microspore morphogenesis in anther culture on optimization factors, and their efficiency in F1 hybrids of T. aestivumof different ecological and geographicorigin. It was found that heterosis contributed to an increased yield of haploid chlorophyll-bearing regenerants from hybrids obtained from the crossing of parental forms with different responsiveness to androclinia. Results were obtained for the complex optimization of the androgenesis method for the in vitro anther culture of T. aestivum, in order to create diploidized haploid lines (DHL) regardless of the influence of the genotype. The agroecological properties for a complex of economically useful traits were also assessed. DHLs were created that combined high yield (5.1-6.8 t / ha) with lodging resistance (straw height – 60-80 cm) and consistently high grain quality; these were characterized by increased resistance to major leaf diseases in comparison with the standard variety in the conditions of the Central Economic Region of the Non-Black Earth Zone of the Russian Federation.

Роль пропашных предшественников в контроле засоренности и увеличении урожайности семян рапса и сурепицы

Practice shows that the demand for oilseeds is currently very high. Having the potential of large processing capacities in the southern part of the Non-Black Earth Zone of Russia, oilseeds are in high demand, characterizing rapeseed and rape as high-margin crops in agricultural production. The study of the influence of row crop predecessors on the productivity of cruciferous oilseeds in the conditions of this region is interesting and relevant, which served to determine the direction of research. The article presents data on determining the effectiveness of predecessors on weediness, growth and development, productivity of agrocenoses of rapeseed and rape of spring forms. On the dark gray forest soils of the Ryazan region, the maximum yield of oilseeds of rape and rape was obtained on the variants where the predecessor potato was chosen (2.80 t / ha for rape, 2.68 t / ha for rape), the minimum yield of rape and rape was obtained from the predecessor of corn for grain (2.55; 2.44 t / ha, respectively). A direct dependence of the weediness of crops to the yield of oilseeds of the studied crops was revealed. Keywords: RAPESEED, MUGGY, PREDECESSORS, CLOGGING, YIELD, QUALITY

Assessment of soybean productivity factors under conditions of the southern part of the non-black earth zone of Russia

In modern conditions, the demand for soybeans is increasing both in the world and in the Russian Federation. Analysis of the trends characterizing the production of this crop has showed the prevalence of extensive factors - the growth of sown areas in all federal districts. Soybean yield is also growing, but its absolute size is significantly lower than the world average. In addition, the productivity of soybeans significantly depends on the hydrometeorological conditions of cultivation. Since most of the territory of the Russian Federation belongs to the zone of risky farming, plant support means are required. The article provides an overview of the influence of growth stimulants X-Site, G and Stimulate, G on soybean yield in Ryazan region. The results have showed that in order to obtain high and stable yields of this agricultural crop, it is necessary to feed soybeans in budding and flowering phases with plant growth regulator Stimulate, F with a consumption rate of 0.5 l/ha. This will increase the yield of the crop by 2.5 dt/ha and increase the protein content to 40.8 %.

Effect of Tillage and Crop Rotation on Cereal Crops Yield in the Urals of the Nonblack Earth Zone of Russia

Proper selection of tillage system is important to increase yields. The work purpose is to assess the effectiveness of three different crop rotation and tillage systems combined with the chemistries use and repetitive sowing methods on spring wheat productive capacity and technology properties of its grains under natural conditions of the Urals in the nonblack earth zone of Russia. The study's objectives included studying the effectiveness of tillage systems in the region's conditions, evaluating the need for the use of chemicals, assessing the impact of each of the factors: meteorological conditions, soil fertility, agrotechnology, and intensification methods on wheat yield indicators. A comprehensive approach is used throughout this work. The study was carried out in 2006-2019 in the forest-steppe region of the Southern Urals (Ural Federal District of the Russian Federation). An experiment involving three influencing factors was performed: Factor 1 – the tillage system in crop rotation; Factor 2 – the chemical methods use; Factor 3 – the preceding crop presence. An inverse relationship was found between spring wheat productivity and weed share (Pearson correlation -0.83). There was a negative correlation between the distance from fallow to the plants' proportion affected by fungal rot. Their number has multiplied by more than 1.7. Depending on the preceding crop, the average yield for fallow wheat was 2.94 t per 1 ha, and for the third wheat after fallow, 1.44 t per 1 ha. The study bridged the lack of knowledge in the established task of increasing wheat yields in the Urals steppe forest territories. The three most important factors influencing wheat grain yield and quality are: 1) combined use of chemicals and fertilizers (45% contribution), availability of the forecrop, meteorological and climatic conditions, and tillage system. Consequently, the yield of spring wheat is related to the level of modern agricultural technologies development, particularly on the level of intensification required. Future similar studies should create a unified spring wheat database and allow the ability to adjust performance indicators depending on areas with different climatic conditions.

Development and implementation of a web-system for making management decisions on increasing soil productivity of degraded agricultural lands

Experimental studies on the effectiveness of the use of new organo-mineral amendments obtained on the basis of biocompost to restore fertility and increase the productivity of degraded alluvial meadow medium loamy and sod-podzolic sandy loamy soils of reclaimed agricultural lands were carried out by the authors of the paper as part of the implementation of the state assignment of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation “To develop a scientific and methodological approach and new agro-meliorative methods for restoring the fertility of degraded reclaimed lands, reclaiming contaminated soils and disturbed pasture areas in the European part of Russia”. The studies included a series of long-term greenhouse and field experiments performed on the reclaimed lands of JSC “Moskovskoye” and the stationary site of the Meshchersky branch of the A.N. Kostyakov All-Russian Research Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Land Reclamation, which resulted in new ways of restoring the fertility of degraded reclaimed agricultural land and low-productivity lands involved in agricultural circulation using multifunctional amendments for the conditions of the southern part of the Non-Black Earth Zone of Russia. At the end of the experimental studies, the authors developed a database, and then an information and reference Web-system that allows entering, storing, finding and analyzing information on ways to increase the soil fertility of degraded reclaimed agricultural land and low-productivity lands involved in agricultural circulation using biocompost based on the processing of organic waste. This software allows making scientifically based and timely decisions to restore fertility and increase soil productivity.

Evaluation of the efficiency of using agricultural land in agricultural production

Relevance. The effective use of agricultural land is a fundamental prerequisite for the successful implementation in the agro-industrial complex of the task of providing the population with food, and production with raw materials. At the same time, the issues of methodological support of the procedures for determining the integral indicator for assessing the use of agricultural land, established on the basis of a theoretically grounded unified approach based on quantitative methods, have been developed with insufficient completeness. Actualization of the issues of improving the theory and practice of assessing the effectiveness of the use of agricultural land in agricultural production is becoming one of the priority tasks of land reclamation science. The purpose of this work is to create a methodological basis for the process of assessing the use of agricultural land, which guarantees the comparability of the considered options for agroproduction in different natural and economic conditions.Methods. The research is based on the method of point assessments for indicators of agricultural land exploitation and the formation on their basis an integral criterion of land use efficiency. The proposed procedure includes: analysis of statistical data characterizing the dynamics of the values of indicators of used land resources, calculation of local assessments of the feasibility of their exploitation and assessment of the efficiency of land use according to a generalizing criterion represented by the sum of these local assessments.Results. A methodology has been developed and a method has been created for determining the efficiency of the use of agricultural land, based on a generalized integral assessment of the operation of agricultural land, which allows to identify bottlenecks in agricultural production and outline rational directions for the development of land use. The testing of the algorithm of the methodology and capabilities of the scale for the integral assessment of the efficiency of the use of land resources was carried out on the example of the Non-Black Earth Zone of the Russian Federation. Shown is an unsatisfactory (below the national average) contribution of agricultural production to the gross regional product. On the whole, positive dynamics of agricultural production in the Non-Black Earth Zone was established, which is achieved due to the development of animal husbandry, which is an effective factor in the formation of modern efficient agriculture of the territory, with the orientation of the crop production system on the raw material basis of feed production or the sector of the economy of the agro-industrial complex of the territory.

Biological and economic efficiency of herbicides on spring rape in the conditions of the south of the Non-black earth zone

The results of studies to determine the biological and economic efficiency of a complex of herbicides in crops of spring rape variety Neman in the south of the Non-Chernozem zone are presented. According to the data of the experiments, it was revealed that in the crops of rape there is a polyspecific composition of weeds. The most was the used for the control of broad-leaved weeds Etamaster, VDG, (etametsulfuron-methyl 750 g/kg), 0.025 kg/ha and for the control grass weeds Miura, EC (quizalofop-P-ethyl 125 g / l), 1 l/ha. The decrease in the number of weeds was 90%, weight – 92% compared to the control. The economic efficiency on this option was also the highest, the yield was 2.94 t/ha, the increase to the control was 1.04 t/ha, the collection of crude fat was 1.25 t/ha, the collection of crude protein was 0.82 t/ha.

Regression mathematical modeling of the population of mouse-like rodents, hosts of blood-sucking arthropods in the Non-Black Earth Zone by the example of the Kaluga Region

The purpose of the research is a regression mathematical modeling of the population of small mammals, hosts of ixodid ticks in the Kaluga Region, which allows assessing the likelihood of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases.Materials and methods. For 10 years (from 2009 to 2019), a 2k multifactorial experiment was performed in the field by the method of V. V. Kalmykov (2016). The study object was mouse-like rodents that are the most common in the Kaluga Region. Rodents were counted by standard methods using techniques of V. N. Shnitnikov (1929), P. B. Yurgenson (1934) and A. N. Formozov (1937). The generally accepted steel spring traps were used. Animals were counted throughout all habitats.Results and discussion. Regression mathematical models of the mouse-like rodent population were obtained depending on the average monthly temperature, precipitation and atmospheric pressure for the year in the Non-Black Earth Zone by the example of the Kaluga Region. The specific nature of the obtained analytical model is that the greatest influence on the population of small mammals is made by the interaction effect of two factors, temperature and atmospheric pressure. Their impact is more significant than the influence of each of the three study factors separately, in particular, it is stronger than the only influence of temperature by 1.02, the only impact of precipitation by 2.58, and the only impact of atmospheric pressure by 2.72. The analytic mathematical model allows us to calculate, without significant material or time costs, populations of mouse-like rodents not only in the Kaluga Region, but also in regions with similar climate conditions.

Improving the soil fertility of agricultural lands in the Non-Black Earth Zone of the Russian Federation

Relevance. According to the Federal Law of 16.07.1998 No. 101-FZ (as amended on 05.04.2016) "On State Regulation of Ensuring the Fertility of Agricultural Land", owners, owners, users, including tenants of land plots are obliged to: carry out the production of agricultural products in ways that ensure the reproduction of the fertility of agricultural land, as well as excluding or limiting the adverse impact of such activities on the environment. Environment.Materials and methods.The research was carried out on a stationary field experience in the Podolsk district of the Moscow region in 2011-2012. On experience, five-floor crop rotation will be deployed in time: 1) oats; 2) barley with planted perennial herbs; 3) perennial herbs of the first year of use; 4) perennial herbs of the second year of use; 5) winter wheat. The plots were located in the upper part of the slope with a slope of 14% (weakly pitched) and in the lower part of the slope with a slope of 7% (gentle).Results. It was found that on average annually in the slope areas of the non-chernozem region soils lose from the layer 0-40 cm with a surface runoff of phosphorus 0.7-6.0 kg / ha, potassium 2.3-28.9 kg / ha, calcium 7.3-45.8 kg / ha. With anti-erosion methods of tillage on a slope with a steepness of 7%, the migration of chemical elements was 2.2 times less compared to similar options on the slope with a steepness of 14%. Surface runoff redistributes substances along the length of the slope, therefore, it is necessary to take this into account during chemical reclamation of the slopes soils and carry out differentiated application of fertilizers and lime. After chemical analysis of the arable layer of soil, it turned out that the maximum content of humus, mobile forms of phosphorus and exchange potassium is noted in the lower part of the slope, which is associated with the processes of washing and alluvium of the soil.
