Seed production of perennial leguminous herbs, including meadow clover (Trifolium praténse), is complicated due to the natural and climatic conditions of the region. In Middle Urals, only two to three years out of ten are favorable for seed production. Estimation of influence of the hydrothermal regime of the growing season and the sowing method has been carried out in the experimental crop rotation of the Udmurt Research Institute of Agriculture, UdmFRC Ural Branch of the RAS with the seed grass stand of meadow diploid clover varieties Pelican and Trio, tetraploid variety Kudesnik It has been revealed that seed productivity of meadow clover on sod-podzolic medium loamy soil was more dependent on the prevailing hydrothermal regimes of vegetation periods, as well as on the variety’s ploidy. A relatively high seeds yield of the Pelican variety (2n) 444-593 kg/ha and Kudesnik variety (4n) 101-116 kg/ha was formed under conditions of insufficient and optimal moisture supply of the vegetation period with a hydrothermal coefficient of 0.67-1.41. With increase in hydrothermal coefficient p to 1.56-1.69, the seeds yield of the Trio variety (2n) decreased to 251-328 kg/ha, of the Kudesnik variety (4n) - to 77-91 kg/ha. Under the same conditions, according to the hydrothermal regime of vegetation, the Kudesnik clover variety formed a relatively larger number of stems and heads, however, the heads productivity was significantly inferior to diploid varieties, which ultimately affected its seed productivity. Sowing diploid varieties of meadow clover Pelican and Trio in the usual ordinary way (15 cm), tetraploid variety Kudesnik in a wide-row way (30 cm) allowed increasing seeds yield and thereby neutralizing the negative impact of weather factors. Sstudy of the seed formation features of meadow clover varieties differing in ploidy in contrasting agrometeorological conditions may be of interest in developing methods for optimizing their seed productivity.

The influence of mineral fertilizers on seed productivity and quality of obtained seeds of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) was studied in the field small-scale experiment under conditions of unstable moistening of the Mordovia Republic. As a result, it was found that seed productivity varied depending on weather conditions and the types of fertilizers introduced. It was shown that the maximum productivity of Melissa officinalis plants was on the variant with the use of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers at a dose of P60K90 (71.2±78.5 g/m2 in 2017 and 48.8±4.3 g/m2 in 2018), while it exceeded the control variant by 74-91 %. The total germination of seeds of Melissa officinalis practically did not change over the years, and was in the range of 37-39 %. Separation of seeds according to the degree of aging allowed to increase germination 11.4-13.3 %.

The article presents the results of scientific research to specify the seed productivity of alfalfa grown on irrigated and rainfed lands of the southern Steppe of Ukraine. It is proved that obtaining stably high yields of conditioned alfalfa seeds under the conditions of regional climate change is possible only providing an optimal supply of productive moisture in the soil, since in recent years the crop has been grown under high temperature conditions and insufficient precipitation. It was established that irrigation of seed alfalfa throughout the growing season regardless of cultivar and mowing, should be conducted in two interphase periods: "the beginning of regrowth (shoots) – early budding" and "the beginning of budding – beginning of flowering". In the first interphase period, it is necessary to create conditions for optimal growth and development of plants that is achieved by maintaining the level of pre-irrigation humidity in 0-100 cm layer in the range of 70-75% MMHC on dark chestnut soils and 55-60% – on sandy loam chernozems. In the second interphase period, it is necessary to provide optimal conditions for the development of production processes and the formation of conditioned seed yields that is achieved by inhibiting growth processes, since alfalfa tends to grow up. Therefore, the level of pre-irrigation humidity of the calculated layer on medium and heavy loamy soils should be maintained within 60-65% MMHC and 45-50% MMHC – on sandy loam chernozems. The analysis of changes in natural and climatic conditions carried out over the past years shows that in the subzone of the southern Steppe, alfalfa cultivation for seeds is possible only by providing the developed irrigated agriculture. Getting the deficit of natural moisture solved, combined with high availability of heat resources and fertile dark‑chestnut soils and southern chernozems, is an objective natural prerequisite for further growth of seed productivity of alfalfa and reducing its dependence on extreme weather conditions and, above all, in medium‑dry (75%) and dry (95%) precipitation years.

The problems of medical rehabilitation of children with bronchial asthma are relevant for the national health care due to the high prevalence of the disease in the child population and the possibility of disability. Currently, the role of weather factors in the development of meteopathic reactions in children suffering from bronchial asthma is increasing. Meteopathological reactions can be manifested by increased symptoms of the disease and ventilation disorders, as well as they reduce the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures. In this regard, research devoted to the development of methods for the prevention and correction of manifestations of weather dependence using natural and climatic factors is of particular interest. Aim. The study aimed to assess the bioclimatic potential of the resort of Gelendzhik city and to develop methods for the prevention of meteopathic reactions in children with bronchial asthma. Material and methods. The research was conducted on the basis of the SRC “Vulan” (Gelendzhik). Features of biotropic weather conditions influence and meteopathic reactions development were studied in 119 children with bronchial asthma aged 5 to 15 years. Microclimatic features of the Sanatorium “Vulan” territory were studied using an automated system of medical and meteorological weather forecasting. Methods of climate therapy included dosed sun and air baths, which were prescribed taking into account the severity of the disease and the degree of child’s adaptation to the climatic conditions of the sanatorium. Results and discussion. The study of the bioclimatic potential showed that the territory of the Sanatorium “Vulan” can be attributed to the resort area with a sparing effect of the climate on the child’s body and with favorable microclimatic conditions that allow to widely include all types of climatotherapy in treatment and rehabilitation programs. Against the background of the dosed climate therapy, the majority of children (82.1%) had decreased manifestations of increased weather sensitivity, improved respiratory function and increased indicators of the psychoemotional status of children with bronchial asthma. Conclusion. Improved and scientifically-based technologies for dosing of the climate-related procedures, which are included in the programs of sanatorium-resort treatment of children with bronchial asthma, can significantly reduce the frequency of weather-related reactions.

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to isolate species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants that are promising for the tasks of accelerating the sequestration of atmospheric carbon, resistant to local soil and climatic conditions and having high productivity from the collection fund of the botanical garden of the Ural Federal University. Methods. The article presents data on the productivity of four types of herbaceous plants: Amaranthus caudatus L., Amaranthus cruentus L., Polygonum weyrichii F. Schmidt and Echinops sphaerocephalus L., grown in the botanical garden. All the research objects were grown under the same conditions. Productivity was measured at the beginning of September. The data were processed using standard statistical methods. Results. It was revealed that the plants P. weyrichii is the most productive in terms of both fresh and dry yield. The yield of the P. weyrichii increases in years with sufficiently high moisture content. Aridity and high summer temperatures have a negative impact on the growth of the P. weyrichii. Amaranths gain a large aboveground mass due to their belonging to the group with the C4 type of photosynthesis. High summer temperatures have a positive effect on the growth and development of amaranths, while correlations with the amount of precipitation are statistically insignificant. The plants E. sphaerocephalus showed average values for productivity and requires further study. It is recommended to grow the plants P. weyrichii in a sufficiently humid area. Amaranth, being a drought-resistant plant, is highly productive in any years, especially in years with the value of the hydrothermal coefficient (HTC) less than 1.0. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the features of the cultivation of the studied crops are considered not only for forage purposes but also from the point of view of atmospheric carbon deposition and cultivation on potential carbon farms in the changing climate of the region.

The results of investigations on revealing the features of the structure formation of seed productivity in new genotypes of peas with non-permeable beans are presented. Selection of Kaban, Fregat, Veles varieties and sample KT-6489 with a new trait was aimed at increasing the number of beans and seeds per plant. The increase in seed productivity was accompanied by a decrease in the mass of 1000 seeds and an increase in the performance of beans. Differences in the variability of the examined signs of seed productivity testify to the genotypic characteristics of the reaction to the effect of environmental conditions. The selection value of the “productivity of seed formation” and its hereditary character is grounded. The use of sources with a high seed-forming ability in breeding has contributed to an increase in the proportion of seeds from planted ovules on the plant. In the varieties with soft beans, the values of this feature, depending on environmental conditions, varied within the range 54.4-70.9%. In new breeding developments, these figures were significantly increased to 81.8-91.0%. Statistical analysis proved the reliability and significance of genotypic differentiation of the trait in changing environmental conditions. A high significant effect of the genotype with a share of 83.7% on the variability of seed production was established. The influence of the environment and the interaction of the factors “genotype x environment” on the trait was assessed by a weak impact (3.61 and 3.94%). The presence of stable genotypes in the study group results from the revealed advantage of variance of genotypes over the variance of the “genotype-environment” interaction. A sample of KT-6489 with a weak variability in seed production (1.6%) with variations by years 84.0-86.7% was isolated.

The ecological state of the environment, climatic conditions with pronounced seasonality, variability, anomaly summer heat and regional manifestations of climate change, have a certain negative impact onwell-being, health and comfort of life of the population. To assess climatic comfort of a person, a bioclimatic index (equivalent-effective temperature) was used, which allows to evaluate thermal sensation of a person under a certain combination of meteorological parameters. In this study we used daily observation data (surface temperature, air humidity and wind velocity) at 34 meteorological stations in Ukraine for the period 1990—2020. Analysis and ranging of data, which characterize the thermal bioclimatic conditions, were done. It was found that the weather conditions with apparent temperature of very cold—cold—cool—slightly cool compose about 268 ± 9 (73 %) days per year. Thus, the population of Ukraine experience conditions of physiologically cold stress during the prevalent time of the year. Weather conditions that fall into gradations very cold –(30 ... 23) and cold –(23 ... 12) represent 6 ± 5 (~2 %) and 42 ± 17 (~12 %) days per year respectively. They can consequently cause extreme cold and strong cold stress and have a tendency towards decreasing repeatability. The largest number of days on average across the country have such gradations as slightly cool 0 ... 12 and cool –(12 ... 0), 113 ± 10 (31 %) and 107 ± 8 (29 %) days per year respectively. Slightly cool weather conditions are typical for the warm period of the year, mainly autumn and spring, and partially winter, while cool –(12 ... 0) is more prevalent in winter, autumn and spring seasons. Comfortable and subcomfortable thermal conditions for human with apparent temperature of slightly warm and warm compose on average 96 ± 8 (~26 %) days per year. Comfortable thermal conditions for human on the territory of Ukraine represent about 47 ± 13 (13 %) days per year and are typical for the warm period from April to October, with maximal values in summer: June 10 ± 3, July 17 ± 4 and August 15 ± 4 days per month. A number of days with subcomfortable thermal conditions for human on the territory of Ukraine compose also 48 ± 3 (13 %) days per year. Moreover, for May—September it has almost an equal number of days per month from 7 to 12 with minimal values in April, October and November, about 1—2 days. There is a tendency to increase in the number of days with comfortable thermal conditions for human in summer by 0.2—0.3 days per month for the period 1991—2020. The trend is 0.83 days per year (on average 25—30 days were added each year) for the period 1991—2020. Thus, comfortable climatic conditions for the local population in Ukraine increase during the warm season. However, the frequency of hot apparent temperatures (23 ... 30) has increased, especially during summer period, which can subsequently cause strong and extreme heat stress for humans. In particular years, it was recorded up to 5—19 days per year. For that reason, the climatic conditions of Ukraine have a certain potentially comfortable climatic resource(in June—August): Western region has a minimal climatic resource (23—40 %); Northern region has a sufficient climatic resource (36—53 %); Central region has an optimal climatic resource (40—60 %); Southern region has an optimal climatic resource (40—67 %).

The improvement of the breeding programs, selection of the optimal group of ripeness depends on the soil and climatic conditions for which varieties and hybrids are developed. One of the most important indicators of climatic conditions is the hydrothermal coefficient (HTC). The purpose of the current study was to analyze the effect of HTC on the productivity of maize hybrids of various groups of ripeness. The studies were carried out in 2014–2019 at the Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy” located in the southern zone of the Rostov Region, characterized by unstable moisture. The objects of the study were 96 interlinear maize hybrids of three groups of ripeness, namely an early ripening group (FAO 150), a middle-early ripening group (FAO 200) and a middle ripening group (FAO 300). There was a systematic use of variants in the trials. The weather conditions of the years 2014 and 2018 could be estimated as arid (HTC = 0.32–0.57). The years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 were of medium aridity (HTC = 0.58–0.89). The HTC determined only for the entire vegetation period did not allow estimating objectively the growing conditions. There has been required a more detailed analysis of the HTC for the periods (months) of vegetation. On average, over the years of study, the middle ripening maize hybrids were characterized with the largest grain productivity (3.98 t/ha). The early ripening maize hybrids were characterized with the smallest productivity (3.31 t/ha). The middle-early ripening hybrids were characterized with the average value (3.80 t/ha). However, in different years, the maximum grain yields were produced by the hybrids of various groups of ripeness, including by the early ripening varieties, that depended on the amount of HTC in different vegetation periods. There have been identified average positive correlation coefficients between the HTC values and maize hybrids’ productivity (r = 0.64–0.74). The use of maize hybrids of various groups of ripeness can stabilize the gross harvest of maize.

Formulation of the problem. Among the main opportunities for improving seed production and the technology of growing sunflower in general is the use of plant growth regulators (further – PGRs). The main problem of PGRs is their strong dependence on weather conditions during the processing of plants. In addition, with the rapid increase in the number of PGRs in the State Register of Pesticides and Agrochemicals, their effect on various types of genotypes and their functionality under uncontrolled weather conditions remains poorly understood. Relevance of the topic. One of the most cost-effective and proven effective is the use of plant growth regulators. To date, a whole series of synthetic growth regulators, which in its composition has the active substances of humic origin, mineral compounds and extracts with different plants. But today the reaction of each genotype of sunflower separately from each other under the action of PGRs with different active substances remains little studied. Purpose. Study of the response of various genotypes of lines, hybrids and varieties of sunflower to the use of plant growth regulators. Material and methods. The studies were carried out in the period from 2018–2020., on the experimental field of the Department of Genetics, Breeding and Seed Production of KhNAU named after V.V. Dokuchaev. Lines, experimental hybrids and varieties of sunflower were used as the studied genotypes. Plant growth regulators Fulvital Plus, EcoStim, QuadroStim and applied by spraying during the growing season in the phase of 2–5 true leaves, and again in the phase of the sprocket. Conclusions. On average, over the years of research, the productivity of sterile lines increased from 0.7 to 38.1 %, depending on the PGRs and genotype. It is noted that lines SKh808A and SKh1002A have a greater potential to increase the structural indicators of the yield. One of the factors is their high adaptive capacity to the environment. The average rate of increase in line productivity according to PGRs from 5.1 g formed in the SKh1002A line and in SKh808A by 7.1 g. The weight of 1000 seeds increased from 0.3 to 24.7 % depending on PGRs, natural seeds and was within from -3.7 to 17.3 % depending on the drug and the line. The influence of PGRs on fertile lines of sunflower was weaker in comparison with sterile lines. By factor B, an increase in productivity was noted in the Kh785V line by 15.8 % and in the Kh1012B line by 27.7%, respectively. The main influence of PGRs in these lines under study was an increase in the mass of 1000 seeds. Thus, this indicator was 44.4 g for the Kh1012B line, which is 30.3 % more than the control and in the Kh06135V line – 53.1 g, an increase of 15.3 % to the control. The low performance of fertile lines compared to sterile lines is a consequence of the energy consumption of plants, since fertile lines produce pollen during the growing season, while fertile lines spend only energy on seed formation. The use of PGRs turned out to be quite effective in experimental hybrids. An increase in the genetic set occurs precisely during the creation of hybrids, the manifestation of heterosis increases the productive and adaptive capabilities of plants. The increase in the productivity of the hybrids was in the range of 0.3–19.6 %, the mass of 1000 seeds was in the range of 3.4–16.7 %. The productive characteristics of sunflower varieties had a low response to the use of PGRs Fulvital Plus, EcoStim and QuadroStim during the research period 2018–2020.

This work is dedicated to the evaluation of dependence of grain and leguminous crops yield from the main agrochemical parameters of soil and weather conditions. Proceedings on agrochemical survey of arable soils, crop yields, and the main agro-meteorological indicators of Baltasi municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan for 1980-2010 years were generalized. Over the years aproductivity of grain and leguminous crops in the region has increased for 1.73-2.25 times, increasing the yield for 37-49 kg per hectare grain per year. The productivity of all crops is most closely connected with the average content of mobile potassium (r = 0.83-0.90) and phosphorus (r = 0.51-0.78). A moderate negative correlation was found between yield of studied species and share of arable land, having an acid reaction (r = - 0.32-0.48). During the study period the moisture content of the Baltasi municipal district of Tatarstan often (recurrence is 63.4%) was characterized as insufficient or arid. We found a negative correlation of spring crops productivity (spring wheat, barley, pea) from the amount of active temperatures, which indicates that heat supply of the area is not a limiting factor for these crops, and a growing fever of the season often has a negative impact. The tightness and direction of the correlation the productivity of spring crops and peas from the amount of rainfall is changing dramatically by periods: if the amount of precipitation in May has a very weak positive effect on the productivity (r = 0.16-0.17), the rain, falling during maturation and harvesting, have a negative impact (r = -0.14 and -0.21). The largest positive impact on the spring crops yield had a rainfall of June. Especially the correlation was noticeable for pea (r = 0.64) and spring wheat (r = 0.58). Compared with the June precipitation, total precipitation during the growing season had on the yield of spring crops significantly less impact (r = 0.32-0.53). The productivity of spring crops was less dependent on the amount of annual rainfall (r = 0.28-0.49). The productivity of spring crops and peas are most closely correlated with Selyaninov hydrothermal coefficient in June (r = 0.50-0.65), and winter rye - in August before sowing (r = 0.45). Therefore, to predict the effects of the prevailing weather conditions on productivity of certain crops, it should be used the hydrothermal coefficient of Selyaninov of the relevant month. According to the yield correlation coefficients from Selyaninov hydrothermal coefficient on vulnerability to adverse weather conditions (insufficient moisture content, high temperature) experienced species can be arranged in the next growing rate: peas <spring wheat <barley <winter rye.
