Influence of biological products on СО₂ emission and microflora of the root zone of corn

O. Siabruk, O. Naydenova, Ya. Get’man. Influence of biological products on СО₂ emission and microflora of the root zone of corn The article presents the results of observations of carbon dioxide emissions and other indicators of soil biological activity in order to determine the effectiveness of the introduction of elements of biologization of agriculture. It was found that the use of a set of agricultural measures (tillage destructor tillage, pre-sowing treatment of seeds with biological product and double foliar treatment with humic preparation) increased СО₂ emissions and increased the number of microflora in the root zone of corn compared to control. There was a significant increase in the yield of corn grain due to the use of a complex of biological products (up to 16%, depending on the option). Keywords: carbon dioxide emission, biologization of agriculture, agricultural activities, soil microflora, corn.

The article emphasizes the need to apply science-intensive technologies and expand innovative activities to ensure sustainable development of agriculture in the current pandemic. The importance of new generation technologies in accelerating the innovative development of the agricultural sector is also studied. Positive results have been obtained on issues that need to be solved when organizing and developing an economy based on an innovation system in the agricultural sector in a pandemic. Keywords: agricultural sector, innovation, COVID-19 pandemic, entrepreneurship, digital transformation, economic activity.

Use of electrophysical indicators during growing strawberries on drop irrigation

Yu. Dehtiarov, O. Chekar. Use of electrophysical indicators during growing strawberries on drop irrigation Three-year studies (2018-2020) have been carried out on the influence of different fertilizer systems under drip irrigation on the electrophysical parameters of typical chernozem during the cultivation of garden strawberries. It has been established that the largest changes in electrophysical parameters (electrical conductivity, total mineralization, salinity) of typical chernozem occur from the ridge to a depth of 20-30 cm. There is a difference in the obtained values of electrophysical indicators between variants of fertilization of typical chernozem (control, mineral system, organo-mineral system, organic system), and also during years of researches is revealed. Keywords: chernozem typical, electrophysical indicators, drip irrigation, fertilization.

The influence of basic tillage and fertilizer on weediness of sunflower crops

The influence of basic tillage and fertilizer on weediness of sunflower crops The article presents the influence of the basic tillage and fertilization system on weediness of sunflower crops in the stationary crop rotation during 2016–18 in the conditions of the eastern part of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The largest number of species of weeds and contaminants in crops was found on the background without fertilizers (plowing) and on the organic-mineral intensive background (manure aftereffect, 30 t / ha + N30P30K30, chiseling). The type and level of weed infestation of sunflower crops significantly depended on the studied factors. Keywords: sunflower, crop rotation, tillage, fertilizers, weeds, herbicides.

Productivity of the mother root and cutting garden of the pumiselect clone rootstock in the Steppe of Ukraine

Productivity of the mother root and cutting garden of the pumiselect clone rootstock in the Steppe of Ukraine The dynamics of productivity of the mother root & cutting garden of the Pumiselect clone rootstock was studied, taking into account the soil and climatic conditions of the steppe zone of Ukraine, as well as technological aspects of crop management. In the first three years of vegetation of mother plants, there was an intensive build-up of the aboveground part of the bushes, which gave rise to transfer them to the state of operational plantings. Taking into account the annual complete alienation of growth in the next 4-9 years, significant aging of plants occurred, which was manifested in a decrease in habitus indicators, the number of shoots and their length. As a result, the productivity of mother root plantings decreased (the number of cuttings from 570.2 thousand units)/ha up to 133.6 thousand units/ha), which limited the feasibility of long-term cultivation in order to obtain lignified cuttings. Keywords: Pumiselect, clone rootstock, mother root plantings, shoots, biometric characteristics, lignified cuttings.

Generalized indicator of qualimetry objects quality of various nature

Generalized indicator of qualimetry objects quality of various nature The article presents a methodology for determining a generalized quality indicator of qualimetry objects of various nature, including products, technological process, system, or anything that is subject to assessment. Based on the analysis of the existing nonlinear relationships between the measured quality indicator and its assessment on a dimensionless scale, a method based on the use of generalized quality indicators is proposed. Keywords: generalized quality indicator, qualimetry objects, form parameter, assessment of quality indicators.

Justification of the implementation of a separator of seeds of vegetable and melon crops as part of the technological line

D. Babenko, N. Dotsenko, O. Gorbenko, N. Kim. Justification of the implementation of a separator of seeds of vegetable and melon crops as part of the technological line A modified design of a seed separator was tested in various technological configurations based on the technological line of separation seeds of vegetable and melon crops: with a serial separator, with an experimental separator, complete with a MOS-300 machine. The comparative characteristics of such indicators as productivity, seed loss, the content of impurities in seeds, injury to seeds are given. The implementation of the melon seeds separation into technological line is substantiated. Keywords: vegetable and melon crops, separator, technological line, seeds separation.
