Biological activity of soils in Ukraine depending on tillage options: A meta-analysis

Tillage is one of the major factors affecting soil biological activity, resulting in changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) content, providing for carbon sequestration and shifts in carbon dioxide emission from soils. Current climate change and aggravation of global warming through the increased emission of carbon dioxide are main driving forces for global transformation of agricultural practices in the direction of climate-smart agriculture (CSA), which requires the implementation of such crop cultivation practices that result in the minimization of SOC losses and carbon dioxide emissions. The magnitude and direction of different tillage practices affecting soil biological activity are different, therefore, the best tillage options should be chosen for implementation in national CSA systems to ensure achieving the global sustainability goals. This nationwide meta-analysis, conducted for tillage practices utilized in Ukrainian agriculture examines scientifically recorded effects of moldboard tillage depth, flat cutter and no-till options on soil respiration rates and cellulose decomposition intensity in dark-chestnut and chernozem soils of Ukraine. This meta-analysis enrolled 45 studies, which met the stipulated scientific quality criteria. Statistical processing was conducted through the standardized mean difference (SMD) model without subgroups at 95% confidence interval (CI). As a result, it was determined that there is subtle impact of moldboard tillage depth on soil biological activity, which is inconclusive and unclear. The similar results were obtained for the comparison between the tillage and no-till groups, where high heterogeneity of the dataset (I2 = 82.8%) resulted in low quality of evidence for the benefits of no-till in SOC sequestration. Besides, zero fail-safe numbers support the suggestion of low-quality evidence in favor of shallow plowing advantage over deep plowing, as well as no-till against tillage. As for the difference between the groups of moldboard and flat cutter tillage, it was established that there is strong enough evidence for the advantage of flat cutter tillage in terms of soil respiration rates and cellulose decomposition intensity reduction. Further studies in this direction are required to fill the gaps in current meta-analysis, especially in terms of no-till options and their effect on biological activity of Ukrainian soils in different cropping systems.

Efficiency of Digestate from Biogas Plants for the Formation of Bio-Organic Technologies in Agriculture

The article examines the potential of digestate from biogas plants as a high-quality organic fertilizer that can ensure environmentally friendly development of the agro-industrial complex. The essence of the European Green Deal, the role of biogas production, and the use of digestate for achieving a climate neutral economy are considered. The purpose of the article was to analyze the potential of digestate production in Ukraine and to substantiate its role in Ukraine’s achievement of the goals set by the European Green Deal. The research was carried out according to dialectical and systemic approaches, using monographic, economic-statistical, index, and cartographic methods. The results showed that Ukraine needs further development of biogas production and an increase in digestate production to meet the demand of agricultural enterprises for organic fertilizers, as there is currently an urgent need to increase soil fertility. It was determined that, in addition to European integration processes and the implementation of “green” technologies, a driving force for the intensification of digestate use is the high cost of mineral fertilizers on the Ukrainian and world markets, as well as high efficacy of digestate as an organic fertilizer. The authors proposed and calculated the green agriculture index, which is based on the calculation of the ratio of the amount of active substance, the rate of mineral fertilizers, kg to the rate of application of organic fertilizers, t/ha. Its levels (intensive, growing, declining, extensive) were determined by the regions of Ukraine, and strategies for the use of digestate were developed depending on the level of the region’s greening. It was proven that the future of Ukrainian agriculture should be based on green agriculture and the active use of digestate as a fertilizer, which will help to produce environmentally friendly products, increase production volumes, and reduce the ecological burden on the environment. The use of digestate will help to achieve a reduction in the application of mineral fertilizers up to 25% by 2030 in accordance with the eco-goals of the European Green Deal.

The article presents the results of research on the impact of qualitative and structural characteristics of artificial rain created by sprinklers and ways and means of minimizing its negative impact on the soil by using modern low-pressure sprinklers. The purpose of the research is to study the design features of different types of sprinklers, and the practice and effectiveness of their use in the conditions of irrigated agriculture in Ukraine. Methods and materials. The study of structural and technological features of the working bodies of sprinklers, the practice of their application, and the determination of the main indicators of the quality of the generated rain were carried out in the economic conditions of their operation during the tests. When assessing the quality of work, the intensity of rain, the average diameter of the drops created, the coefficient of effective watering along the sprinkler belt of the tested machines, the specific power of rain, and the comparison of these indicators when using different types of sprinklers were determined according to the standardized methods of the relevant regulatory documents: SOU 74.3-37-152, DSTU ISO 11545. Results. Modern sprinklers are equipped with highly efficient sprinklers with a large capture area and low energy impact on the soil, taking into account all components of the impact of the quality and structure of artificial rain. At low-pressure values, such sprinklers provide a low intensity of rain due to a large spray area, good uniformity, and optimal droplet sizes. The use of these working bodies provided a solution to the problem of minimizing the negative impact of irrigation on the ecology of the environment. The high efficiency of the use of modern sprinklers was confirmed by tests of machines equipped with similar working bodies, according to the results of which a decrease in the intensity of rain and its energy impact on the soil was noted due to the low-working pressure, large coverage area, a nominal spectrum of droplet size and speed of their fall. Conclusions. The use of low-pressure sprinklers makes it possible to reduce the energetic impact of rain on the soil, which ensures the preservation of its structure and reduction of erosion processes, ensures high uniformity of irrigation at low pressure in the irrigation network, reduces moisture loss from the influence of air temperature and wind, and irrigation costs due to the reduction of pressure in irrigation network. Keywords. sprinklers, intensity of rain, size of drops, sprinklers, uniformity of watering, water erosion of the soil, pressure.

ВИРОБНИЦТВО ПРОДУКЦІЇ РОСЛИННИЦТВА В УКРАЇНІ: СУЧАСНИЙ СТАН ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ РОЗВИТКУ

This article is devoted to the analysis of crop production in Ukraine. The article discusses the current state of crop production in Ukraine, analyzes the main trends and factors infl uencing the development of this industry. An assessment of the current production of key crops is carried out. Particular attention is paid to innovative technologies and their impact on increasing yields and product quality. It examines the challenges faced by the industry, including economic, environmental, and social aspects, and suggests possible solutions. The promising directions of increasing the production of crop production in Ukraine are considered. The carried out studies have shown that the production of crop products in Ukraine has a negative dynamics, the factors infl uencing the decrease in yields have been investigated. The growing role of the production of organic products is positive in Ukrainian agriculture. It should be noted the signifi cant dependence of agricultural enterprises on the infl uence of tax, credit, price and fi nancial factors of the macro environment. It is indicated that due to its huge potential, agriculture continues to be a key sector for investment. It was emphasized that Ukrainian agrotechnical companies are developing modern solutions aimed at improving traditional methods of farming and introducing the latest means for organic production. It is noted that at present, there are already new methods of work in agriculture, which involve digital and technological innovations that increase its effi ciency. It is indicated that the state fi nancial support of the agricultural industry is characterized by contradictory trends, and its volumes are insuffi cient and do not take into account the realities of the development of the industry. It was concluded that the signifi cant potential for the development of crop production lies in the combination of agricultural producers of Ukraine and the EU in production chains and sales channels. This will increase the productivity of the industry through the transfer of advanced EU technologies and practices, increase the scale of activities in the production and processing of agricultural products, and improve access to world markets.

Agricultural reform in Ukraine: the history and present

The purpose of the research is to reveal the process of implementing the agrarian reform in Ukraine as a natural stage of the development of the country's agriculture during the last 100 years. The existing problems in Ukrainian agriculture were considered and it was established that these problems have their roots in the past, in the 20s of the 20th century, when the natural development of agriculture was interrupted, Ukraine became part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), private ownership of agricultural land and private farms were liquidated, collective and state agricultural enterprises were created instead. The paper analyzes the initial stage of agrarian reform in Ukraine at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries after gaining state independence, and it is concluded that agrarian transformations in the country took place quite completely, in comparison with the countries of Eastern Europe. One of the reasons for this state of affairs was the low efficiency of the management of this process on the part of the state authorities responsible for the reform, particularly land reform as a key factor in all agrarian transformations. Only after the beginning of the wide implementation of land reform and reforming of collective agricultural enterprises in the early 2000s, a rapid increase in the volume and efficiency of agricultural production began. The long-term moratorium on the sale and purchase of agricultural land (more than 30 years) was based on political, not economic, reasons. In the analysis of the prospects for the development of domestic agriculture in the period after the agrarian reform, modern comprehensive programs of strategic directions for increasing the efficiency of the industry and rural areas were used, in the development of which the author was involved. These state programs, namely the "Unified comprehensive strategy and action plan for the development of agriculture and rural areas in Ukraine for 2015-2020" and the "National Economic Strategy 2030" conclude with the main task of creating a competitive, export-oriented agriculture and the production of competitive food products in accordance with international safety and quality standards in the context of the European integration of Ukraine. The research methodology is based on the use of publications by Ukrainian and foreign researchers devoted to the analysis of economic transformation in Ukraine and other countries of the former socialist camp, as well as scientific developments by authors, in particular, as a member of teams of international experts and consultants on the development and implementation of agrarian reform in Ukraine. Further directions of research, which were covered in the article, should be aimed at the development of integration processes in the market structure of the European Union, adaptation of the national agrarian policy to the Common EU policy. This is to provide an opportunity to increase the welfare of agricultural workers, the efficiency and productivity of the domestic agrarian industry.

The Impact of Digitalisation on Employment in Agriculture in Ukraine and Slovakia

The digital transformation is strategically important for the agricultural sector development, food security and employment in the agricultural sector and related industries. The study aimed to assess the impact of digitalisation on employment in agriculture in Ukraine and Slovakia. The study found that Ukraine and Slovakia have successfully implemented digital technologies in agriculture, which has led to positive results for agricultural production and sector competitiveness. Both countries use digital platforms to collect, process, and analyse data, contributing to efficient resource management and making agriculture more accurate and productive. However, Ukraine has a low correlation between the number of people employed in agriculture and investments in digital transformation, possibly due to the specifics of agriculture and infrastructure constraints. In Slovakia, however, the level of dependence is moderate, indicating more efficient use of digital tools in agriculture. For the further development of digital agriculture in both countries, it is crucial to consider the specifics of infrastructure, financing, and farmers’ readiness to implement digital solutions. Attention should also be paid to simplifying bureaucratic procedures and supporting research and innovation, which will help to increase the benefits of the digital transformation of agriculture and further improve the productivity and competitiveness of the sector.

Priority areas for the development of field fodder production in view of the climate crisis

This article covers the topical issue of the general impact of climate change on Ukrainian agriculture and on the field fodder production industry specifically, as well as the problems of adapting agriculture to modern environmental conditions. The authors set out to substantiate promising ways of developing modern field fodder production considering climate change. For this, the study employed the abstract-logical method, system analysis, methods of systematisation and classification, and a range of economic and statistical research methods (comparison, series of dynamics, method of structural groupings). Both negative and positive manifestations of the climate crisis in crop production were highlighted, and possible measures to counteract risks and ways to use potential opportunities to develop field fodder production given the impact of climate change were systematised. Particular attention was paid to the global practices of agriculture in the face of climate change, namely, the components of a climate-smart crop production system. The study also described the main promising measures of adaptation of field fodder production to climate change: irrigation of agricultural land, arrangement of snow retention systems in the fields, rainwater harvesting, selection and introduction of new varieties of fodder crops, effective crop rotation, increase in sowing of drought-resistant fodder crops, optimisation of agricultural technologies to reduce losses of fodder crops at the stages of harvesting and storage, application of organic farming, the latest soil fertilisation technologies and the use of nanotechnology in soil cultivation. The findings of this study can be used by managers of specific agricultural enterprises, as well as by advisory services and government agencies in the field of agricultural policy implementation.
