The article analyzes the effectiveness of the implementation of digitization projects in agricultural enterprises. The calculations take into account the uneven financial and investment opportunities of agricultural enterprises, which have provided for the differentiation of investment options depending on the funds available to the producer, as well as the actual land bank of the agricultural producer, which has affected the intensity of digitization tools. The most attractive digitization tools for agricultural enterprises in terms of implementation efficiency have been identified, among which are allocated: autopilot and course index with its subsequent installation on agricultural machinery; the system of automatic shutdown of sections of a sprayer; the system of automatic shutdown of sections of a seeder; the system of liquid fertilizer application during sowing; differentiated method of fertilization; field condition monitoring (using drones, UAVs); alternative application of fertilizers and PPE (using drones). Indicators of efficiency of realization of packages of investment projects at the land bank in 500 hectares and 5000 hectares for various options of investment (the sum of investments of 150-200 thousand UAH; 200-300 thousand UAH; 300-500 thousand UAH), and also indicators of efficiency of packages of investment projects connected with preparation and realization of production within five years of realization at the land bank of 5000 hectares for various investment options within the above amounts of investment are calculated. The most attractive sets of investment projects in digitization tools have been presented, which can be chosen by agricultural enterprises, trying to maximize the level of NPV received within certain investment opportunities. It has been determined that having different amounts of initial investment, agricultural enterprises of different sizes (with a land bank of 500 ha or 5000 ha) have a fairly wide choice of options for investing in almost every monetary segment. The expediency of investing funds of agricultural enterprises in digitization tools has been proved, which confirms the general trend towards digitization of agricultural enterprises and has a solid economic basis.

SummaryA British team has been working since 1978 upon a programme of documentation and analysis in the Insula of the Menander at Pompeii, one of the irregular city-blocks situated immediately to the west of the old part of the city in an area which was developed from the early fourth century B.C onwards. Study of the structural techniques, of wall-abutments, and of anomalies in plan can be used in conjunction with the evidence of painted wall-plaster to identify five main phases in the building-history: Phase I (fourth-third centuries B.C), Phase 2 (second and early first centuries B.C), Phase 3 (c. 80-c. 15 B.C), Phase 4 (c. 15 B.C.-C. A.D. 50), Phase 5 (c. A.D. 50-79). These illustrate a complex pattern of changing property-boundaries, but underline the general trend towards increasing commercialization and greater pressure upon living-space in this area of the city. There is also interesting evidence of the economic basis of life in the individual houses during the years immediately before 79.

Correction: In the last line of the abstract, the word 'increase' was replaced with the word 'reduced' on 25th November 2015. The correct sentence now reads "The application of PRH, Calsol and Magic Growth significantly reduced rice yield than that obtained with recommended fertilizer dose."AbstractInherent soil fertility and application of exogenous fertilizer generally affect rice yield. Fertilization would be soil fertilization or foliar feeding through leaf area. Plant growth promoting substances also improve plant performance through modulation of its growth and yield. The study was conducted at BRAC Agricultural Research and Development Center (BARDC), Gazipur. The aim of the study was to find out the growth and yield of Boro rice as influenced by plant revitalization hormone (PRH) and liquid fertilizer Calsol and Magic Growth during dry season 2012-13 using randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatment consists of; T1=Recommend fertilizer dose of NPKS and Zn (Control), T2=T1+ recommended PRH, T3=T2 + half of the PRH, T4=Half of doses of T1 + PRH, T5=PRH, T6=Recommended fertilizer dose of NPK with three N top dressed along with Calsol, T7=Recommended fertilizer dose of NPK with 1st and 3rd split of N application and along with three split of Calsol application, T8=Recommended dose of liquid fertilizer Magic Growth. The effect of different treatment combinations of PRH and liquid fertilizer Calsol and Magic Growth showed significant difference (p<0.05) in panicle m-2, unfilled grain panicle-1, total grain panicle-1, and grain yield. However, none of the treatments out yielded the existing fertilizer application method. The application of PRH, Calsol and Magic Growth significantly reduced (corrected on 25th Nov. 2015) rice yield than that obtained with recommended fertilizer dose.Bangladesh Rice j. 2015, 19(1): 33-39

By and large, investments provide the mechanism needed to finance, develop and grow the economy. In all developed countries the agricultural economy enjoys state support. Investors consider the current state of the investment climate in Ukraine as unsatisfactory. There are a number of factors: a sharp reduction in government funding, the absence of an efficient credit system, a tight tax policy. Credit and banking organizations also do not want to finance in the agricultural sector, as there are risks. Basically, businesses rely only on their own funds. In this article, we will reveal the prerequisites, essence and consistency of the formation of the investment strategy of agricultural enterprises. At present the tool for ensuring the efficiency of agricultural enterprise development management is to formulate and implement an optimal investment strategy. The process of forming an investment strategy involves the selection of objects of strategic management of the organization. Such objects are investment activity of the enterprise as a whole, strategic economic zones and investment projects. The enterprise development strategy is also focused on attracting internal and external investments. Instruments of investment activity of the enterprise can be divided into financial and non-financial.

As organic farming gains more popularity across the world, it is important to discuss the underlying trends of its development in Ukraine, who is an important agricultural producer. Organic farming may have lower environmental pressures—therefore, we seek to identify the major trends in the production and sales of the organic agricultural products in Ukraine. In this study, data on the production structure, costs, and selling prices from Ukrainian enterprises are analyzed. Conventional and organic enterprises are contrasted in order to identify the possibilities for the development of organic agriculture in Ukraine. Our results suggest that enterprises that use organic farming in Ukraine tend to produce higher output per hectare, as opposed to those engaged in conventional farming. However, labor profitability remains low in labor-intensive organic farming, especially in larger companies, and organic products remain a low percentage of Ukraine’s agricultural exports. This calls for further study into the development of organic production and consumption in the domestic market, as well as the implementation of appropriate certification practices in order to ensure the growth of organic exports.

A 3-yr study was conducted on Black and Gray Wooded soils at five different sites in the Aspen Parkland of Saskatchewan to determine the effect of spiking, burning, mowing, deep-banding (Trt) and applications of N, P, K and S liquid and granular fertilizers (Fert) on dry matter yield (DMY) and forage quality of primarily smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) pastures. Fertilizer application was a liquid form blended to provide 100 kg N ha–1, 45 kg P2O5 ha–1, 23 kg K2O ha–1 and 12 kg S ha–1 in 350 kg of fertilizer ha–1. The experimental design at each site was a randomized complete block in a split-plot arrangement. Main plots were spike, burn, mow, deep-band, deep-band liquid fertilizer and control. The split-plot treatment was granular fertilizer broadcast at 0 and 350 kg ha−1 (providing 100 kg N ha−1, 45 kg P2O5 ha−1, 23 kg K2O ha–1 and 12 kg S ha−1). All treatments were applied in the spring of 1994. Interaction effects of Trt × Yr and Fert × Yr were significant (P < 0.05) indicating a wide range of response to the rejuvenation methods among years. Spiking reduced (P < 0.05) DMY in year 1 at two sites. Deep-banding and mowing increased (P < 0.05) DMY at one site in year 3. Burning increased (P < 0.05) DMY in years 1 and 2 only at the Gray Wooded soil site. In year 1, liquid plus granular fertilizer (200 kg N ha–1) [deep-banded liquid fertilizer (DBLIQ at 100 kg N ha−1) + broadcast fertilizer (+F at 100 kg N ha−1] increased DMY at all sites by 84 to 185% over control plots. This effect carried over (P < 0.05) into year 2 at four sites but not the third and final year. The high rate of N (200 kg N ha−1) of the DBLIQ + F almost doubled (P < 0.05) crude protein content of year 1 forage, 170.3 g kg−1 compared with 96.4 g kg–1 for control. It was concluded that an application of broadcast or liquid fertilizer alone or combined with mechanical treatments will produce a significant effect on herbage yield and quality but only in the short term. Key words: Rejuvenation, fertilizer, spike, burn, deep-band, quality
