Miscanthus giant is a tall perennial herbaceous plant with a well-developed root system, which is used for biofuel production. The aim of the study was to establish the effect of gi-ant miscanthus in the first year of growing season on the state of soil organic matter, removal and balance of nutrients and biological productivity of crops for fertilization. A four-year survey of the condition of miscanthus plantations was conducted at ‘Veselo Podilska’ research and breeding station during 2016‒2019 in the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine. Indicators of biomass productivity of giant miscanthus and the state of fertility of the grant for fertilizer application in the area of the left-bank of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine for the production of solid biofuels are characterized. In the first year of the growing season, giant miscanthus produces more organic matter in the root system than in its terrestrial biomass ‒ 2.5 and 1.6 tons of dry matter/ha, respectively. It was found that foliar fertilization with microfertilizers significantly increased the yield of terrestrial biomass of giant miscanthus in the background of mineral fertilizers. The highest biological yield of ground mass of giant miscanthus was achieved with the introduction of N60P60K60 and two foliar fertilization with microfertilizer Vympel-K, 0.5 l/ha: yield of terrestrial biomass ‒ 3.1 tons of dry matter/ha with the advantage of control without fertilizers ‒ 1.5 tons/ha. In the first year of cultivation miscanthus giant uses a small amount of nutrients from the soil: nitrogen ‒ 20.4‒33.8 kg/ha, phosphorus ‒ 3‒5.3 kg/ha, potassium ‒ 6.1‒12.4 kg/ha . The application of N30P30K30 ferti-lizers was sufficient to form a balanced and expanded balance of nutrients in the soil. The appli-cation of mineral fertilizers did not affect the dynamics of organic matter in typical chernozem. Growing giant miscanthus in the first year of the growing season ensured the stability of the or-ganic matter content in the soil at the level of 4.04‒4.11%. At the same time, the content of mobile phosphorus at the end of the growing season decreased by 17‒18 mg/kg, potassium ‒ by 13‒43 mg/kg of soil. Reducing the content of mobile forms of phosphorus and potassium in the soil at the end of the growing season leads to efficient use of plant nutrients, chemical transformation of phosphorus into insoluble compounds and non-exchange adsorption of potassium ions by the soil complex in the biocenosis of miscanthus.

The cultivation of high-oleic sunflower hybrids is promising due to the high competitiveness of sunflower on the international market and the growing demand for oil as the main product of its processing. Despite the importance of sunflower as one of the traditional crops of Ukraine, the technology of its cultivation now has many unsolved problems. Among the elements of cultivation technology aimed at increasing crop yields, research with high-oleic hybrids occupies a prominent place, requires the study of mineral nutrition levels, the need for sulfur, taking into account their impact on the oleic acid content. The purpose of the research is to establish the influence of sulfur on the background of different norms of mineral fertilizers on the formation of productivity of high-oleic sunflower plants on chernozems of typical low-humus right-bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The research program provided for the establishment of a field experiment in 2015–2017. The research was conducted according to the scheme of two-factor field experiment. The scheme of experiments provides for the study of the following factors: factor A – rates of mineral fertilizers, factor B – sulfur application Methods. During the research, generally accepted methods were used for scientific research in crop production. Based on the research, it was found that the maximum amount of dry matter accumulates in the variants with the introduction of N90Р75К135+S30 and N120Р100К180+S30. The introduction of sulfur increases the yield of dry matter from 5.69 % to 9.27 %. The highest yield of sunflower seeds is formed by applying N90Р75К135+S30 – 4.12 t/ha. Further increase in fertilizer application rates does not lead to a significant increase in yield. Application of S30 on the background of N90Р75К135 allows to increase the yield of sunflower by 0.35 t per ha or 9.28 %. Our correlation-regression analysis of the obtained research results indicates a close correlation between the accumulation of dry matter in ВВСН 55–57 and ВВСН 65–67 and the yield level (respectively r = 0.917 and r = 0.972). The highest fat content in the seeds (49.7 %) with the maximum content of oleic acid (88.5 %) and the maximum yield of oil (2.05 t per ha) provides the cultivation of the hybrid EC Romantic with the introduction of N90Р75К135+S30.

The paper shows the research results related to the development of methods to increase the yield of spring wheat using Megamix liquid mineral fertilizers in the presowing treatment of seeds, treatment of crops on vegetation when introducing mineral fertilizers in seedbed preparation in the forest-steppe conditions of the Middle Volga region. The studies were carried out on the experimental field of Samara State University in 2017-2020. During the three-factor field experiment, dry matter accumulation and photosynthetic activity were evaluated with the analysis of photosynthetic potential and net productivity of photosynthesis. It was established that the best indicators are formed on versions with the treatment of seeding material with Megamix Seeds or Megamix Profi agents with subsequent double treatment on vegetation with Megamix Profi in the amount of 0.5l/ha (in the tillering phase) + Megamix Nitrogen in the amount of 0.5l/ha (in the flag leaf phase) against the background of N32P32K32 fertilizer application. The application of Megamix agents in the system of seed treatment + treatment of crops with Megamix stimulating agents provides the maximum accumulation of dry matter in the version of Megamix Seeds treatment and the treatment of crops with a mixture of Megamix Profi + Megamix Nitrogen – 591.9 g/m on soft crops and 622.6 g/m2 – durum wheat against the background of N32P32K32 application. The maximum photosynthetic potential of 0.968…1.091 million m2/ha per day is formed in these versions, and, consequently, the maximum yields with values of 3.73 t/ha on soft wheat crops and 3.44 t/ha on durum wheat crops. It was found that the use of liquid mineral fertilizers on all versions of the experiment reliably increases the yield of spring wheat.

The results of field studies for 2017 - 2019 are presented. yields of perennial grasses sown at different times of the growing season. Spring, summer, and winter sowing periods were compared. Alfalfa, clover, rump, and also their mixtures were sown in 2017 under the cover of barley. The value of the cover crop yield of spring and summer sowing periods did not differ significantly and amounted to 4-5 t / ha of absolutely dry matter. Winter barley crops have not formed. On average, over 2 years of use, the highest yields were observed in alfalfa-crust grass mixtures - 3.4 t / ha of absolutely dry matter. The lowest yield was obtained in the single-species seeding of the rump. Correspondingly, in the spring, summer and winter periods of sowing, the yield of rump was 1.6; 1.1 and 1.3 t / ha. With a late sowing period, the yield of perennial grasses is significantly lower compared to spring and summer. With winter sowing periods, the yield was the highest for grass stands of alfalfa and alfalfacrust grass mixture - 2.3 and 2.4 t / ha. It should be noted that in the second year of use, the yield by the sowing dates in single-species crops and grass mixtures is leveled. The winter crops of perennial grasses in the first year of use formed a low yield. Only in the second year (third year of life) the productivity of perennial grasses of winter sowing began to increase. Consequently, in the area under perennial grasses of the winter sowing period, during one growing season (the next year after sowing), the crop was not actually formed. Based on the data obtained, production can be recommended for spring and summer planting of perennial grasses under the cover of barley. The winter sowing period provides economically valuable crop yields only by the third year of life.

Field studies were undertaken at Offinso in the Ashanti Region of Ghana during the 2015/2016 growing season to evaluate growth, root and dry matter yields of an improved cassava variety (Bankyehemaa) treated with poultry manure (PM), NPK 15-15-15 and NPK 23-10-10 fertilizers. The treatment structure was a 3 x 4 factorial, laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Three levels of fertilizer (600 kg/ha NPK 15-15-15, 600 kg/ha NPK 23-10-10 and 2 t/ha PM) were applied at 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks after planting. The parameters measured included plant height, fresh and dry shoot weights, number of stems per plant, stem girth, fresh and dry root yields and total dry matter yield. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance using the Genstat Statistical package. Main effects of fertilizer type and time of fertilizer application on most of the parameters measured were not significant. However, the interaction effects of the two factors were significant in all the parameters measured. Vegetative growth of Bankyehemaa increased when mineral fertilizers were applied earlier than 12 weeks after planting. The highest fresh and dry shoot weights and the biggest stems were produced when NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer was applied at 6 weeks after planting. Plants treated with NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer at 10 weeks after planting were the tallest, while those treated with NPK 23-10-10 fertilizer at 8 weeks after planting produced the highest number of stems per plant. Application of poultry manure at 6 weeks after planting produced the highest fresh cassava root yield of 28.10 t/ha. The highest dry matter yield of 19.80 t/ha was obtained when poultry manure was applied at 12 weeks after planting.

The research explores the relation between productivity of binary grass mixture and mineral nutrition. The hypothesis assumes that nutrient value of the same forage depends on mineral nutrition of forage grasses. According to purpose of research, the authors specified the task which is seen to analyze the impact of mineral fertilizers on productivity and nutrition of forage mass of binary grass mixture sown under the cover. The object of the research is a binary grass mixture based on alfalfa (Medicago + sainfoin). Sowing was carried out under the barley and Sinapis cover on two mineral backgrounds: control (without fertilizers) and fertilized. Fertilizers were applied the day before sowing. Crop yield and the quality of harvested mass were assessed in the appropriate period which was the stage of Medicago budding. Two-year industrial and economic experiment highlighted necessity and efficiency of sowing Medicago binar grass mixtures under Sinapis cover with 25% lower sowing rate and apply mineral fertilizers dosed as N23P60K60 in the forest-steppe of Novosibirsk region. This application contributed to the highest output of metabolic energy in dry matter (37 GJ/ha). The authors observed a positive tendency on harvesting from 1 ha of fodder units (2.14 tons), digestible protein (0.35 tons), as well as the yield of dry (3.58 tons) and green mass (13.7 tons). In this variant the authors observed the highest output of metabolic energy in dry matter (37 GJ/ha). There was a positive tendency to harvest fodder units (2.14 tons), digestible protein (0.35 tons) pro 1 ha and get dry (3.58 tons) and green mass (13.7 tons).

The article presents the results of spring barley crops and the effect of foliar fertilization on them. Prospects and effectiveness of biological products as a basic fertilizer for cereals. Spring barley is a valuable food, fodder and technical crop. Pearl barley and barley groats are made from vitreous and coarse-grained two-row barley grain. Most barley is used for feed purposes. In 1 kg. grain contains 1.2 feed units and 100 g of digestible protein. Spring barley contains a lot of protein (9-12%), carbohydrates (70-75%), pentazoles (7-11%), sucrose (1.7-2%), fiber (3.8-5.5%), fat (1.6-2%), ash (2-3%). Spring barley grain is characterized by high nutritional value and is widely used in feed production, confectionery, brewing. However, in the dynamics of its yield there are significant fluctuations, which is associated with both agro-climatic conditions and organizational and economic. Having a short growing season, underdeveloped root system, the culture is quite demanding on the provision of basic factors of plant life, including nutrients. The system of fertilization of spring barley is determined primarily by predecessors. It has a valuable ability to make the best use of the aftereffects of organic and mineral fertilizers applied to the previous crop. If spring barley is sown after well-fertilized row crops (sugar beet, potatoes), under which 40-50 t / ha of manure and mineral fertilizers are applied within N80P80K80 - N120P120K120, then fertilizers are not applied directly under barley at all. Against this background, barley with proper care can form 40-50 kg / ha of grain. It is clear that in case of incomplete supply of sugar beets or potatoes with fertilizers, barley will require additional application of macronutrients. Barley responds very well to fertilizer application, especially in conditions of sufficient moisture. The increase in yield from mineral fertilizers can reach 15-20 kg / ha. To prevent lodging of plants, it is necessary to ensure the correct ratio of nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Given the condition of the soil cover and low volumes of fertilizer application, we consider the issues of optimization of mineral nutrition of spring barley to be relevant and in need of refinement. An important component of the plant nutrition system is the use of microfertilizers. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to establish the reaction of spring barley to the complex use of microfertilizers, crop formation and grain quality in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine [3] Key words: spring barley, foliar feeding, biological products.

Petiole sap NO3-N concentrations were tested as a means for monitoring crop nitrogen (N) status and N fertilizer responses in potatoes. An ion specific electrode was used to monitor sap NO3-N concentrations of three varieties of potatoes grown with differing amounts of N fertilizer in 1993–1995. Plots provided with varying amounts of fertilizer N applied prior to planting or as a split application were sampled on six occasions through the growing season. Sap NO3-N levels were positively correlated with petiole dry matter NO3-N levels. Petiole sap NO3-N levels reflected rates and timing of N fertilizer application. Sap NO3-N levels in the three cultivars showed similar changes with time after planting and increasing N fertilizer rates. However, sap NO3-N levels measured under a particular set of conditions were unique for each cultivar. The correlation between yields and sap NO3-N levels varied with the sampling date and cultivar. Recommendations were developed for critical sap NO3-N concentrations at various stages in the development of the three cultivars.

Abstract This article is very relevant to set out organizing plantations in the conditions of the Tashkent oasis. Climatic zones of desert and semi-desert under the influence of new conditions (abundance of light and thermal solar energy, a very long growing season, artificial irrigation), the growth and development of sophora is favorable. Annual seedlings under the influence of mineral fertilizers reach a height of up to 110 cm, the growth of lateral shoots of seedlings in the first year after planting is 33 cm.In the conditions of the Tashkent oasis, sophora favorably tolerates short-term winter low air temperatures (up to 30°C), tolerates soil compaction and has established itself gas-, dust-resistant decorative breed. The number of inflorescences on one tree ranges from 16 to 60 pieces, depending on the layout of the seats. Abundant flowering of sophora was noted with a planting pattern of 5.0x4.0, 5.0x3.0 with sufficient sunlight. The content of rutin in fruit elements ranges from 3.9 to 14.7% and depends on agrotechnical care, the state of the plantings themselves and their location.
