High Quality Seed

To obtain high-quality seed material, it is necessary to form a crop that has the largest amount of standard seed fraction of tubers in its structure, and plants are less affected by viral infection. To obtain high-quality seed material, it is necessary to form a crop that has the largest amount of standard seed fraction of tubers in its structure, and plants are less affected by viral infection. The research was conducted in 2018-2019 on the experimental fields of ISA. The technology of cultivation of a new variety was studied in the link of crop rotation: peas – winter wheat + white mustard-potatoes – spring wheat. The area of the experiment is 0.25 ha, the accounting area is 10 m2, the repetition is fourfold. The soil of the site: dark gray forest, heavy loam; humus content of 3.15%; potassium is 16.2, phosphorus – 19,6; soil pH is 5.4. Predecessor – winter wheat. Scheme of experience. Application of mineral fertilizers before planting and mowing the tops after flowering: N96P96K96, after 30 days, N96P96K96-45, N128P128K128-30, N128P128K128-45 days. The yield was taken into account (24.09.18 and 23.09.19)with the analysis of tubers by fractions: large, seed and non-standard. Mathematical data processing was carried out by the method of dispersion analysis (Dospekhov B. A. Method of field experience, 1985). In the studies, the following protection systems were used: treatment of tubers with Maxim – 0.4 l/t, spraying with herbicides Lazurit Super-0.5 l / ha + Escudo-0.025 kg/ha, treatment of vegetating plants with fungicides Metaxil-2.5 kg/ha, Thanos-0.6 kg/ha and insecticide Borey-0.15 l / ha. The results of two-year field tests on the effect of different doses of mineral fertilizers and the timing of mowing the tops on the yield of seed potatoes of the eupatium variety in the Ryazan region are presented. It was found that when cultivating seed potatoes using the proposed technology, the crop yield increased from 27.9 to 38.0 t/ha with a seed yield of 39.1 to 48.1%.

The Tropics

The potato has been a widely used vegetable crop in temperate countries for a long time. Its consumption and the area of its cultivation has increased significantly over the past decades in the tropics and subtropics as well. The main problems of potato producers in the tropics and subtropics are the unsatisfactory quality of seed potatoes, mainly derived from the informal seed supply system, and the insufficient availability and high cost of certified seed potatoes. The hope for improving this situation can be the application of soil-less technologies for minituber production under controlled conditions. This publication focuses on important advantages of the aeroponic system in the production of pre-basic seed potatoes in the tropics and subtropics. It also highlights some deficiencies that can be overcome with the involvement of several actors in the potato industry, including local universities and the private sector. It emphasizes that innovative aeroponic installations are an opportunity to increase the production of high-quality seed potatoes in the countries of the tropics and subtropics, which, in many cases, will result in less dependence on expensive imported seed potatoes, often from a different climate zone. The introduction of aeroponic installations conserves the shrinking natural soil and water resources and contributes to their protection.

High Quality Seed

The production of high-quality seed is the basis for a durable a profitable agriculture. After production, seed is processed, conditioned, stored, shipped and germinated. For quality assurance, seed quality has to be controlled at all steps of the production chain. Seed functioning is accompanied by programmed transitions from cell proliferation to quiescence upon maturation and from quiescence to reinitiation of cellular metabolism upon imbibition. Despite the obvious importance of these control mechanisms, very little information is available at the molecular level concerning those elements that regulate seed germination. In the present study, the induction of cell cycle activity and the regulation of ß-tubulin expression is related to the water content and other physical properties of the seed.

High Quality Seed

Seed production of field crops plays a key role in ensuring food security of the country and is a continuation of the selection process, a necessary link for the development and maintenance of the variety. In seed production, the main object is a variety that is genetically close to each other a certain group of plants, homogeneous in morphological and biological properties. The finish of high-quality seed production is seeds with good varietal and sowing qualities. The main condition for effective production of field crops is a well-established seed production system, which is a set of functionally interconnected structures engaged in the production of elite and reproductive seeds. Seed production of field crops solves two main tasks: variety exchange and variety renewal. When a variety is changed, one zoned variety is replaced by another with more valuable economic characteristics. During variety renewal, varietal seeds in farms are replaced with seeds of the same varieties, but of higher reproductions. Usually, seeds for cereals and legumes are updated every 3-4 years, for millet - every 2 years, for sunflower - annually. The main goal of seed production of field crops is to maintain a set of characteristics of the variety, its most valuable qualities and economic indicators.

One of the leading grain crops in Russia is spring wheat. This is a strategic food crop of our country; it is also an important component in the structure of forage crops for monogastric animals, such as pigs and poultry. The purpose of the research was to evaluate spring soft wheat varieties of different maturity groups in order to identify genotypes as the starting material for obtaining varieties adapted to the cultivation zones, and to determine the areas optimal for the production of grain for seed purposes with high quality indicators. Field studies have been carried out in three ecologically different zones: the Priobskaya zone, the Prialtaiskaya zone, and the Prisalairskaya zone. Under the conditions of the Altai Territory, genetic sources of spring soft wheat have been identifi ed for different soil and climatic parameters of the study zones, the use of which will allow obtaining high-yielding varieties with high quality grain for specific cultivation conditions. The variability of the indicators of the characteristics of varieties in three ecologically different zones has been determined. The indicators of adaptability and stability of spring soft wheat varieties in different zones of cultivation have been determined. The optimal zones for conducting breeding work and seed production of varieties have been identifi ed. New scientific data on the quality parameters of seed grain in various agro-climatic zones of the Altai Territory have been obtained. The share of the contribution of the factors “variety”, “year”, “environment” to the variability of grain quality characteristics has been established. The economic efficiency of cultivating varieties of spring soft wheat for the production of high-quality seed grain has been determined.

Field grafting is an important tool of tree breeders and other foresters concerned with the production of high quality seed for forestry purposes. Field grafting of many pines is carried out in the early summer during a period which is usually crowded with pollination and nursery work. This paper describes a summer grafting technique by which it is possible to successfully field graft pine species late in the growing season using current year's growth for scion and stock material.
