The term 'Hydroponics' was derived from Greek words 'hydro' means water and 'ponics' means labor. Hydroponic is a modern agricultural technique that uses nutrient solution rather than soil solution for fodder production. As population increases the food demand also increased, the existing system of agriculture will not be able to meet the food requirement in the near future due to environmental challenges in the industry. The major environmental factors affecting the hydroponics production system are; Temperature, relative humidity, and light. The objectives of this studies are to examine the hydroponics greenhouse technologies, impact of environmental factors on hydroponics greenhouse cultivation and challenges of growing on hydroponics greenhouse system. This study revealed that hydroponics greenhouse cultivation is a better option for improved fodder production, water utilization, palatability and digestibility.

In modern conditions, with insufficient resource supply for agriculture, the most popular in fodder production is resource-saving technologies that increase production of highly nutritious feed at a low cost of labor and money. In field fodder production, resource conservation can be achieved through the wider use of new approaches and crops in the harvesting - perennial leguminous grasses for harvesting hay, which have high environmental sustainability and competitive ability. The most important task of intensifying livestock in the winter is the harvesting of hay (haylage) from crops with a high content of protein and protein (carotene). As a result of the study of the size-mass characteristics of the most valuable feed-rich crop, rich in protein and amino acids, which is important when developing methods for preparing fodder from perennial leguminous herbs - alfalfa. Knowing the properties of alfalfa will allow to really reach the design and technological parameters. The linear dimensions of alfalfa are given to enable the design of mower conditioners with vertical placement of conditioner rollers (sizes of working bodies, their setting and operating modes). According to the long-term results of the study of the size-mass characteristics of alfalfa, the features of varying the marked features and their correlation are established. Research data after mathematical processing made it possible to identify the correlation between the length of the stalk of alfalfa and its stability, which is an important indicator in the design of working bodies and the establishment of appropriate operating modes of mower conditioners with a vertical conditioner.

The results of many years of research on the comparative study of single-species and mixed crops of non-traditional forage crops, including festulolium used to create a sustainable forage base balanced in energy, protein and carbohydrates, are presented. The scientific basis for the cultivation of herbs in single and mixed sowing has been determined. It was established that the yield of green mass of festulolium is high-er than that of traditional cereal grasses and on control for an average of three years amounted to 19.8 t/ha, against the background of mineral nutrition — 29.9 t/ha. In mixed sowings, grass mixtures consisting of clover and festulolium and alfalfa and festulolium were distinguished in terms of productivi-ty and fodder value. They provided the harvest of fodder units of 7.95 and 8.65 thousand/ha, with the provision of the fodder unit with digestible protein at the level of the norm or much higher than it — 101–134 g, with an optimal (0.8–1.0) sugar-protein ratio on both backgrounds. The positive effect of grasses on soil fertility, expressed in the accumulation of a significant amount of crop-root residues and nitrogen, is shown. Single-species crops of clover and alfalfa have accumulated 9.83 and 14.8 t/ha of crop-root re-sidues at the control and 10.8 and 19.5 t/ha against the background of mineral nutrition, with which 154, 328 and 253, 431 kg, respectively, were supplied with nitrogen ha, of which symbiotic – 65, 140 and 85, 183 kg/ha.

Abstract From June 17 to 20, 2021, July 22-23, 2021 October 1-2, 2021 in Russia, Moscow Oblast, Bol’shie Vyazemy, the All-Russian conference with international participation “Economic and Phytosanitary Rationale for the Introduction of Feed Plants” was held. The choice of the city of Moscow and the Moscow region is due to its significant contribution to the food security of the country, as well as the distribution of unique fodder crops and conditions for them. In addition, Moscow Region is home to the country’s leading institutions in the field of fodder production and phytosanitary safety. Conference Objective to unite efforts of domestic and foreign scientists in solving urgent issues of economy and photosanitary safety of fodder plants introduction. Over the past few years, positive trends have been observed in the agricultural economy. First of all it is connected with the import substitution program, as well as with the new Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation adopted by the President. In this regard, scientific institutions should play a special role in the chain of ensuring presidential decrees. List of Organization Committee, Program Committee are available in this pdf.

Stolon production by strawberry plants in Florida fruiting fields is highly undesirable. Stolons (runners) act as a sink for photosynthates and nutrients, reducing the amount of resources available for fruit production in an annual hill production system. The presence of stolons makes it more difficult for pickers to find berries among the excess vegetation. Hence, manual labor must be used to remove runners in the fruiting field at a cost of $40 to $60 per acre. If a low-cost chemical means could be found to reduce or eliminate runner production in the fruiting field, producers would benefit greatly. This document is HS989, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

This paper describes the conception, the development and the testing of a prototype of a simple and versatile device for micro displacement measurement and thickness monitoring of paper sheets and opaque or transparent plastic films during their fabrication. The device works based on triangulation using low power red diode laser beams for the measurements and low-cost Silicon photodiodes for light detection. The system reproductibility was evaluated as well as experimental simulations for thickness variation detection on adhesive tapes were carried out. The results showed that the gauge is capable to detect and measure thickness variations smaller than 5 µm in real time and can be easily implemented in a production system.

Mixed crops of annual fodder crops are one of the main levers for balancing livestock feeds, at the same time increasing their productivity and quality remains an urgent task. In connection with these, from 2011 to 2013 years, we conducted field experiments with these crops. Thus, for the first time in the soil-climatic conditions of the Republic of Tatarstan, the following were studied at the research site: the effectiveness of applying calculated doses of mineral fertilizers to the planned yield of poly-species forage crops; quality and nutritional value of feed; dynamics of nutrition elements on strip crops of sunflower and annual grasses, depending on the nutrition background. According to the results of the research, it was found that the largest harvest of fodder units is achieved with the sowing scheme 180 + 180 cm (N85P35K35), the highest increment of dry matter is in the scheme 180 + 180 and 360 + 360 cm (N130P60K60), the maximum harvesting of crude protein for sunflower seeding and annual grasses with a width of strips of 180 cm (N130P60K60).
