The research was conducted in the Tambov and Lipetsk regions. A comparative assessment of the sensitivity of the most common and publicly available bioindicators of soils in the northern part of the Central Chernozem region was carried out. Among cereals and leguminous crops, simply and alfalfa are very sensitive to changing the acidity of the soil. From cruciferous vegetable plants, lettuce and radish react well to the formation of humus-rich soils and the change of soil type in the rosette phase during the growth of the root crop (the biochemical composition of the root crop changes). Leaf lettuce and spinach react sensitively not only to the type of nitrogen ferti-lizer, the presence of chlorine, but also to the dose of nitrogen for the active substance. The cu-cumber reacts sensitively to different levels of easily hydrolyzed nitrogen in the soil by the time the first whiskers are formed. Winter cereals (wheat and triticale) are good bioindicators for dif-ferent soil bonuses and their biomass shows a different attitude to the soil from two zones of apple orchards – row spacing and trunk strips. Barley is also responsive to soil bonitet. All its above-ground organs change the content of the common forms of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium when the soil conditions change, and only in the ear of these elements of nutrition remain in the optimal range. Apple seedlings with their aboveground biomass, the number of leaves and their water regime react to changes in the properties of the humus horizon, soil fatigue and the change of the soil horizons themselves. In response to an increase in the content of humus, potassium, and manganese in the soil and a change in pHKCl in the leaves of clonal apple rootstocks PB-9 and 62-396, the amount of potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium changes. Rootstock 62-396 sensitively changes the content of anthocyanins, chlorophyll and carotenoids in the leaves in re-sponse to the change in soil type. Yeast and mold fungi reduce their number when the pesticide load on the soil increases. The complex of cellulose-decomposing soil microorganisms reacts sen-sitively to the change of the soil horizon, soil type and anthropogenic transformation during the development of land for apple orchards.

In 2020, the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War was celebrated. Many soldiers and did not survive to see the end of the war. It is important that people living now remember and honor those who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of our country and those who came from the war in difficult conditions to restore the national economy of the country. In memory of those who courageously defended the independence of our great country, we named a new apple cultivar ‘Den Pobedy’ (Victory Day), which took 33 years to create. In 2020, this cultivar was included in the State Register of breeding achievements and it is recommended for cultivation in the Central-Chernozem region including Belgorod, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetzk, Orel and Tambov regions. This cultivar was developed by crossing are quite commonly known winter cultivar ‘Veteran’ and foreign cultivar ‘Horcout’. Trees have a drooping crown. The main branches are curves. A characteristic feature of this cultivar is that the branches from the trunk depart at an angle close to straight. The main number of fruits is located on short fruit formations. Fruits are of medium weight (140 g), conical, wide-ribbed. The main color of the fruit at the time of harvest is greenish. The cover color occupies most of the surface of the fruit in the form of red blush. The fruit flesh is white, greenish of average density. The appearance (attractiveness) of the fruit is estimated at 4.4 points, and the taste - at 4.3 points (5-point rating). Fruits contain 14.7 % of sugars and 9.2 mg/100 g of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Harvest in Orel region is in mid-September, the consumer period of fruits is until mid-March. The cultivar regularly bears fruit and has high product and consumer qualities.

The aim of the study is to find out the feasibility of including green manured fallow in specialized sugar beet crop rotations by comparing necessary assessment indicators with their values in a traditional crop rotation with black fallow against the background of unequal fertilization levels. The study was based on the analysis of experimental data from a long-term stationary experiment, laid out simultaneously in all fields and variants on typical chernozem in triplicate. The results are as follows: within the same fertilization levels, no significant differences in the yield of winter wheat (sugar beet precursor) were revealed, and the yield of sugar beet in a crop rotation with green manured fallow was stably higher (no more than 5 to 7%), an increase in yield relative to the control fertilizer variant (6 tons of manure per hectare per year) against the background of a double rate of manure in combination with mineral fertilizers amounted to 21.7 to 23.4% for wheat and 14.3 to 15.6% for beets with an increase in the productivity of crop rotations (in natural and value terms) by 1.2 times, but an increase in costs by 1.3 times caused an absolute decrease in the level of profitability by 23 to 25%. Differences in the assessment indicators for specific fertilization variants increased over time due to an unequal degree of soil fertility reproduction, and therefore in the fifth cycle of the crop rotation with black fallow turned out to be 1.1 to 1.3 times greater than in the green manured rotation.
