Study of the influence of post-harvest treatment with salicylic acid and chitosan on the storage of blueberries
type: item
description: Formulation of the problem Preservation of the quality of berry raw materials is becoming relevant due to the value of berries as a food product for dessert and technological purposes in the processing industry. To reduce berry losses throughout the entire logistics chain "harvest - post-harvest processing of berry raw materials - transportation - storage - sale", it is necessary to slow down the evaporation of water from the fruits, prevent possible physiological damage and microbiological spoilage of products. For this purpose, pre-treatment of berries before storage with preparations that have antibacterial properties is used. A new technology for post-harvest processing of fruit and berry products with edible coatings is being introduced. Methods of post-harvest processing of fruit and berry products are being searched for, which inhibit physiological processes during storage and extend the duration of storage. Storing berries with minimal weight loss and without deterioration in quality is a pressing issue. Purpose. The conducted research aimed to study the effect of pre-treatment of blueberries with a solution of salicylic acid and chitosan on their preservation. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to solve the following tasks: to determine the natural weight loss of blueberries during storage; to establish the change in dry soluble substances of blueberries, taking into account weight loss during their treatment with a solution of salicylic acid and chitosan. The object of the study is the technology of pre-treatment of blueberries with the use of salicylic acid and chitosan. The subject of the study is blueberries and a solution of salicylic acid and chitosan. Conclusions. Treatment of berries with a solution of salicylic acid and chitosan extends the storage time by 7 days and reduces weight loss. Berries of the Duke variety reduced weight loss by 8.9% (from 19.2% to 10.3%), similar results were obtained for the Patriot variety – 8.5% (from 22.8% to 14.3…

Impact of integrated anti-stress measures on maize productivity
type: item
description: Maize is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide, yet its productivity is severely reduced by abiotic and biotic stresses. Optimization of cultivation technologies through the use of biological and biodynamic preparations in combination with growth stimulants is considered a promising approach to enhancing crop resilience. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated anti-stress technologies in improving maize performance. The field experiment included three variants of foliar treatments with biological preparations based on Trichoderma spp. and Pseudomonas spp., multifunctional growth stimulants, and biodynamic agents. Physiological and biochemical plant parameters, ear morphology, and grain yield were assessed. The results showed that the application of biological preparations combined with growth stimulants increased ear length by 1.0 cm, ear weight by 38–46 g, grain number per ear by 47–49, and thousand kernel weight by 13–20 g compared to the control. Grain yield increased by 12.9–14.9 %, with the strongest effect observed under combined use of biological, growth-stimulating, and biodynamic agents. The practical significance of the study lies in demonstrating the feasibility of implementing integrated anti-stress systems into maize cultivation technology, which enhances crop productivity and yield stability under climate change conditions.

The impact of climate change on the yield of sunflower hybrids in the forest-steppe zone of the kharkiv region
type: item
description: The article considers the impact of climate change on the yield of sunflower hybrids in the forest-steppe zone of the Kharkiv region during 2022–2025. The aim of the study was to establish the relationship between agroclimatic indicators — total precipitation, total active temperatures (above 10 °C), and the hydrothermal coefficient (HTC) — and the yield of five sunflower hybrids: SI “Chester,” P64LL129, SI “Lascala,” NK “Kondi,” and P64LP130. The research was conducted on farms in the Berestinsky district, where the conditions for sunflower vegetation during the analyzed period were characterized by a sharp contrast in temperature and humidity. The analysis revealed a trend toward rising temperatures and decreasing precipitation during 2022–2025, which is confirmed by a decrease in the hydrothermal coefficient from 1.1 to 0.4. These changes indicate a gradual increase in aridization of the climate in the region. Sunflower yields decreased on average from 3.6 t/ha (2022) to 2.4 t/ha (2025), which correlates with the deterioration of moisture conditions. The highest yield stability indicators were observed in the NK Kondi and P64LP130 hybrids, which indicates their better adaptation to higher temperatures and moisture deficiency. Correlation analysis showed a close direct relationship between precipitation and hybrid yield (r = 0.87–0.99) and a negative relationship between the sum of active temperatures and yield (r = –0.68 to –0.89). The hybrids SI “Chester” and SI “Lascala” showed the greatest sensitivity to climatic fluctuations, while the P64LP130 hybrid, grown using Clearfield technology in 2024–2025, showed a weak correlation with climatic indicators, which may indicate greater stability and potential resistance to extreme weather conditions. The results confirm that in modern climatic conditions, it is advisable to use drought-resistant hybrids and adaptive cultivation technologies aimed at maximizing soil moisture conservation. Given the increase in the cost…

Influence of elements of cultivation technology on yield and main nutrients of grain of grain sorghum hybrids of foreign selection and its processed products
type: item
description: The article highlights the results of three years of research on the complex effect of the predecessors and new hybrids of grain sorghum Milo W and Brigga on grain yield and comparative assessment of the content of basic nutrients in grain, cereals and flour. Statement of the problem. One of the determining criteria for obtaining high yields of grain sorghum is compliance with and timely implementation of technological measures, one of which is its placement on the best predecessors, as well as the selection of hybrids with high genetic yield potential and increased adaptability to adverse abiotic factors of the growing zone. Sorghum grain is mainly used for animal feed due to its high digestibility, but its potential as an ingredient in the human diet is not yet fully understood. Today, more than ever, consumers aredemanding products that provide optimal health benefits. Materials and methods of the research.The hybrids of the French selection Brigga and the American selection Milo W were used in the research, which have a number of important features such as drought and cold resistance, high adaptability and genetic resistance to certain aphid species, resistance to lodging and shattering. The grain of the hybrids under study was grown during 2019-2021 in the Eastern Forest-Steppe at SD-Agro LLC, Izyum district, Kharkiv region. The soil of the experiment is typical chernozem with a deep humus profile, contains 5.0-6.0% humus, has good physical properties, an increased content of mobile forms of NPK and, in general, high biological activity. The growing seasons of 2019 and 2020 can be described as dry, while 2021 was quite wet. The amount of precipitation by month varied significantly. Laboratory studies were carried out at the Institute of Bioenergy Crops and Sugar Beet of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences.

Energy efficiency of short-rotation crop rotations with a legume componen
type: item
description: Постановка проблеми. Функціонування будь-якої екосистеми ґрунтується на використанні енергії. Аналіз природних процесів з енергетичної точки зору дає змогу узагальнено пояснити їх перебіг. Відтак, системно-енергетичний підхід можна розглядати як метод дослідження складних систем через оцінку їх енергетичного стану. Мета. Оцінити енергетичну доцільність розвитку органічних агроекосистем різної спеціалізації стосовно потенціалу біопродуктивності чорнозему типового Лівобережного Лісостепу України. Методи. Для реалізації мети застосовували загальнонаукові та спеціальні методи, характерні для аграрних досліджень. Об’єктом дослідження виступали сівозміни. Технологічні підходи мали екологічну спрямованість, що передбачало повну відмову від синтетичних компонентів. Результати. Наведено аналіз енергетичної ефективності польових сівозмін короткої ротації, за результатами досліджень їх продуктивності в умовах Лісостепу Лівобережного. Розрахунки енергетичної ефективності сівозмін з буряками цукровими показали, що бобові культури, які використовували як попередники пшениці озимої в короткоротаційних сівозмінах при органічній системі удобрення, забезпечують коефіцієнт енергетичної ефективності в межах від 1,23 у разі використання сочевиці до 1,38 для сівозмін з горохом та соєю. У сівозмінах із чиною та вико-вівсяною сумішкою значення цього коефіцієнта становило 1,31. Низькі показники співвідношення між енергоємністю врожаю та витратами енергії спостерігали у сівозміні з кукурудзою на силос — 1,01, що свідчить про меншу ефективність використання енергетичних ресурсів у цьому випадку. Енергетична ефективності сівозмін, в яких на третій рік ротації висівали гречку, була нижчою на 15–34 %, в них енергетичні витрати на виробництво продукції рослинництва в серед ньому по сівозмінах знизилися, проте при цьому ще більш інтенсивно зменшувалася енергоємність врожаю — на 24–38 %, на показник якої впливала продуктивність гречки. Як наслідок, майже всі сівозміни з гречкою демонстрували знижен…

The effect of pre-harvest pruning of the apple trees, grown in the intensive plantations, on the quality of fruit coloring
type: item
description: The results of the complex research aimed at studying the effect of pre-harvest pruning on the formation of the coloring intensity of apple tree fruit in the conditions of the intensive orchard plantations in Kharkiv region were presented in the paper. The quality of a fruit appearance, in particular glow brightness and intensity, is an important factor in making the produce competitive, because it is the color that is the major criterion for a consumer’s choice. The purpose of the research was to estimate the efficiency of the application of canopy lighting pruning three weeks before fruit harvesting which was carried out to improve coloring and taste characteristics of the apples. The research was carried out in the production conditions of “Kharkiv fruit company” Ltd.; the cultivars of winter ripening terms, Pinova and Fuji, were studied. Pre-harvest pruning consisted in removing one-year-old and 20-cm long shoots to improve the fruit access to the light. It was found out that the improved lighting facilitated a more intensive warming of the fruit at the day time and their higher cooling at night, which in turn activated the anthocyanin synthesis, namely natural pigments, responsible for fruit red coloring. As a result, the number of the fruit with 75% surface coloring increased from 27% up to 93% for cultivar Pinova; the indicators for cultivar Fuji were from 14% up to 69%. In addition, the increase of sugar content in the fruit by 1.2 – 1.9% was recorded; it had a positive effect on their taste properties. The economic evaluation showed that the application of pre-harvest pruning enhanced the income by 37.2-52.2 th. UAH/ha, the profitability level increased by 8.6-12%, as compared with the control. Hence, pre-harvest crown pruning three weeks before harvesting is a highly effective technological technique which both improves decorative and commodity characters of the fruit and facilitates the enhancement of their taste value as well as the economic return of th…

Bioenergy efficiency of growing indeterminant tomato hybrids in glass winter greenhouses
type: item
description: The aim of the study was to determine the bioenergetic efficiency of growing indeterminate tomato hybrids in glass winter greenhouses. The experimental research included three main directions: (1) selection of indeterminate tomato hybrids suitable for winter greenhouse conditions; (2) evaluation of the efficiency of scion–rootstock combinations in indeterminate hybrids; and (3) assessment of the influence of plant training methods on the productivity and bioenergetic efficiency of the Merlis F1 hybrid. It was established that when cultivating indeterminate tomato hybrids in glass winter greenhouses, the major components of energy consumption are heating and electricity (63.0%) and labor costs (22.2%). The introduction of the Maximoto F1, Merlis F1, and Torero F1 hybrids increases the energy accumulated in the yield by 15.3–24.7% and raises the bioenergetic efficiency coefficient to 2.01–2.08. The use of scion–rootstock combinations (Merlis F1 and Torero F1 scions grafted onto Maxifort F1, TD-1 F1, and Emperador F1 rootstocks) enhances the energy content of the yield by 11.5–22.6% (3.94–8.38 MJ/m²) and ensures a bioenergetic efficiency coefficient ranging from 2.15 to 2.55. For the Merlis F1 hybrid, training plants into two stems (after the third cluster on every second plant in the slab and after the ninth cluster on every fourth plant) resulted in a significant increase in the energy accumulated in the yield (by 16.9%), providing a bioenergetic efficiency coefficient of 2.28. The proposed technological practices are recommended for implementation in greenhouse vegetable production systems in Ukraine.

Use of growth regulators to increase tomato seed productivity
type: item
description: The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of growth regulators in increasing seed productivity of tomato under open-field conditions of the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Field experiments were conducted at the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine using the preparations Aminoplacentin, Lipoplacentin, and Cryoplacentin (protein–peptide complexes isolated from the placenta of farm animals through cryocavitation and cryoconcentration; Institute for Problems of Cryobiology and Cryomedicine of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), PEO (a cryoprotectant), and a suspension culture of the microalga Coelastrella thermophila var. globulina grown in BG-11 medium. It was established that seed treatment with stimulatory preparations (Aminoplacentin, Lipoplacentin, Cryoplacentin, PEO-1000, and Coelastrella thermophila var. globulina extract) significantly increased tomato plant height by 9.7–15.9%, the number of leaves on the main stem by 8.6–12.2%, the number of first-order shoots by 16.6–28.5%, and the number of inflorescences on the main stem by 15.7–22.0%. The greatest positive effect on these biometric parameters was observed with Aminoplacentin, Lipoplacentin, Cryoplacentin, and PEO-1000, which also increased tomato seed yield by 4.22–18.28 kg/ha, or 9.84–42.61%, relative to the control yield of 42.9 kg/ha. The highest seed yield was obtained with the cryoprotective preparation PEO-1000 (61.18 kg/ha). A trend toward increased germination energy was recorded when using Aminoplacentin, Lipoplacentin, Cryoplacentin, and PEO-1000 (95.8–96.6%), along with improved laboratory germination across all tested preparations (98.0–98.5%).

Рarmonisation of national standards for agrochemical analysis of soils with eu requirements
type: item
description: Harmonisation of Ukrainian standards for agrochemical soil analysis with European Union requirements is a critical prerequisite for Ukraine's successful European integration and modernisation of the agricultural sector. As of 2025, Ukrainian soil analysis practices are characterised by fragmentation, the absence of a comprehensive national integrated system, and reliance on mixed DSTU/GOST standards instead of codified national norms, which contrasts sharply with the new European Union Directive on soil monitoring and sustainability, which comes into force in December 2025. Purpose. Comprehensive analysis of technical, regulatory and institutional differences between Ukrainian and European standards for agrochemical soil analysis, identification of specific methodological gaps and development of a practical step-by-step harmonisation plan that takes into account the specifics of Ukrainian soil types, financial constraints and the requirements of the European regulatory environment. Methods. Comparative analysis of the Ukrainian regulatory framework and European Union regulatory requirements, systematic review of methodological differences in analytical protocols, assessment of the infrastructure needs of Ukrainian laboratories, and analysis of international accreditation experience. The expert assessment method was used to identify priority areas for harmonisation and calculate the financial costs of modernising laboratory infrastructure. Results. Critical methodological differences were identified in five key areas of soil analysis. Acidity measurement is characterised by the use of different electrolyte solutions and calibration protocols between Ukrainian laboratories and European standards, leading to systematic deviations in indicators and complicating the interpretation of nutrient availability. The determination of organic matter in Ukrainian practice is based on modified Soviet methods with limited standardisation, while European laboratories use loss on ign…

Anti-stress effect of humic biostimulants on sunflower (helianthus l.) yield under global climate change conditions
type: item
description: Introduction. Humic substances affect plants directly or indirectly. The indirect effect is associated with improving the water-physical properties of the soil, activating microflora, influencing the migration of nutrients, and binding toxic agents (pesticides, heavy metals). Humic substances have a direct comprehensive effect on plant growth processes, i.e., they regulate them. The effect of humic fertilizers on plants is complex and multi-stage, covering the entire vegetation period. With humic substances, a certain amount of nutrients enters the plant — nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulfur, and other microelements, as well as amino acids, vitamins, and growth substances. In addition, humates improve the plant's uptake of sugars, amino acids, vitamins, and hormones from the soil. They accelerate water uptake and oxygen absorption by plants, which ultimately intensifies plant respiration. As a result of enhanced respiration, cell division, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and the growth of the root system and above-ground mass are accelerated, the yield of dry matter increases, and, consequently, the overall vitality of plants improves. All this ultimately leads to enhanced growth, increased plant productivity, and improved product quality. Humates act as organic fertilizers and plant growth regulators. Analysis of recent studies and publications. In modern farming systems, there is a certain instability in the effectiveness of basic fertilization, which is a consequence of unbalanced prices for agricultural products and chemical industry products, the use of mainly minimal tillage systems, and the almost complete absence of a stable structure of cultivated areas. A partial solution to the problem of insufficient supply of nutrients to plants is the use of foliar feeding, which, according to many researchers, is effective in the cultivation of most crops [2]. Foliar feeding is particularly effective in unfavorable weather conditions and other factors …

Plant productivity and biological yield of winter wheat grain under the influence of morpho-regulators on different mineral nutrition backgrounds
type: item
description: The results of two years of research on the effect of morphoregulators in combination with different mineral nutrition backgrounds on the formation of plant productivity and biological yield of winter wheat grain are presented. Formulation of the problem. The effectiveness and practical application of combinations of various agrochemicals, in particular different forms of mineral fertilizers and morphoregulators, remain insufficiently studied. In addition, new types and formulations of fertilizers and morphoregulators are systematically appearing on the market, and new varieties of winter wheat are being introduced into production, which differ in their morpho-biotype and, therefore, may react differently to elements of cultivation technology, in particular, the system of nutrition and plant growth regulation. In addition, growing weather conditions are changing, in particular, there is a gradual increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation. All these factors indicate the advisability of conducting research aimed at more efficient use of mineral fertilizers and morphoregulators in different growing regions. The purpose of the research. The aim of the research was to determine and compare the effectiveness of modern morphoregulators with different bases in combination with different mineral nutrition backgrounds on the formation of plant productivity elements and biological yield of winter wheat grain in the conditions of the eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Research methods. The research was conducted in 2024 and 2025 on the basis of grain-row crop rotation at the Department of Plant Growing of the State Biotechnological University. The effectiveness of using morphoregulators in combination with different mineral nutrition backgrounds was studied on Bogdana, a widely used, medium-maturing, intensive type of soft winter wheat. A two-factors experiment was set up using the split-plot method in three replicates in a single layer. The first-order plots were …

Biological yield of grain of grain sorghum hybrids depending on forms and doses of fertilizers
type: item
description: Sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is used as a grain, fodder, technical and food crop. The aim of our research was to determine the effect of different forms and doses of fertilizers on the yield of new hybrids of grain sorghum in the conditions of the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. A two-factor field experiment was established using the split-plot method in three replications on the experimental field of the State Biotechnological University, which is located in the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. For the completeness of the research and the evaluation of the obtained results, generalizing, field and statistical methods were used.

International experience in reducing losses of fruit and vegetable products
type: item
description: The results of the analysis of the current state of post-harvest treatments and new technologies that can be used to maintain the quality and reduce losses of fresh produce are presented. The analysis of modern domestic and foreign scientific and patent literature indicates that various post-harvest physical, chemical and gas treatments can be used to preserve the quality of fresh produce with high nutritional value and compliance with safety standards for fresh vegetables and fruits. These post-harvest treatments are usually combined with proper storage temperature control. Results. The main advantages of using coatings are based on such properties as cost, availability, functionality, mechanical properties, optical properties, resistance to damage by microorganisms and sensory acceptability. They are used in combination with bioactive compounds that provide fruits and vegetables with additional functions, reduce weight loss and quality preservation and extend shelf life. The principle is to reduce respiration, delay post-harvest ripening of fresh fruits and vegetables and prevent the reproduction of microorganisms. Technological advances have led to the development of cutting-edge equipment for preserving fresh produce, such as modified atmosphere, controlled atmosphere, vacuum packaging, cold plasma, freezing and chilling. However, the high cost and significant energy requirements of these advanced technologies make them inaccessible to small-scale producers in developing countries. They are also unprofitable for retailers and will certainly affect household financial portfolios. Knowing that in today’s world, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient technologies attract customers, we propose approaches and methods that are easy to implement, affordable and energy-efficient, and that benefit smallholders, retailers and consumers.

Influence of main soil tillage methods on safflower yield in drought conditions of the Forest-Step zone of Kharkiv region
type: item
description: Formulation of the problem. Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an oilseed crop characterized by high drought resistance and adaptability to arid climatic conditions. In the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine, increased aridity and depletion of groundwater reserves significantly limit its productivity. The choice of the main soil cultivation system directly affects the hydrothermal properties of the soil and crop yields, but there is still insufficient research in the conditions of the Kharkiv region. The purpose of the research. The study aimed to assess the impact of different tillage systems on soil water regime, growth, and yield formation of safflower under conditions of typical black soils in Kharkiv region. Research methods. The research was conducted at the Vidrodzhennia private enterprise in the Krasnohrad district, where black soil with a humus content of 4.8–5.0% and a neutral soil solution reaction prevail. The research was conducted in a grain-steam-row crop rotation system, in which safflower was sown after winter wheat. The Dobrynya variety of safflower was used in the experiment. The experiment was designed according to the principle of systematic variation in accordance with methodological recommendations. The studied variants of basic soil cultivation for safflower cultivation were: plow plowing PLN-5-35 (control) and non-plow chisel cultivation AGR-1.7 to a depth of 25–27 cm, as well as disc harrowing BDT-7 to a depth of 18–20 cm. The growing season was characterized by abnormally high temperatures (+3.4°C above the long-term average) and critically low precipitation (76 mm in April–September, which is 191 mm below normal). This led to a deficit of productive moisture and increased soil compaction. Research results. The results of the study showed that the moisture content of the black soil varied depending on the phase of safflower development and the depth of the arable layer. The upper horizon (0–10 cm) was most prone to drying out, while the low…

type: item
description: The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of a biologically-based system for optimizing the nutrition of beetroot mother roots under strip placement of vegetable crops and legume–cereal mixtures (Rot–Mix system) in the soil and climatic conditions of the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Field experiments were conducted on chernozem soils at the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine using beetroot varieties of different typologies (Bordo Kharkivskyi, Vital, Bahrianyi) and biological products of various functional groups to optimize plant nutrition, stimulate growth processes, and protect against harmful organisms (Azotofit-R, Organic-Balance, Groundfix, Humifrend, HelpRost for vegetable crops, HelpRost Boron, Micohelp, Phytohelp, Aktovirm Formula, Liposam). The impact of the biologically-based fertilization system on the yield and output of beetroot mother roots of different varieties, as well as the main economic indicators of the cultivation technology, was determined. It was established that the biologically-based fertilization system statistically significantly increased the yield of beetroot mother roots by 5.7–7.8 t/ha, or 15.3–24.5 %, compared to the baseline technology. The highest yield over the years of the study was recorded for the Vital variety, and the lowest for the Bahrianyi variety. The biologically-based fertilization system ensured a positive trend in increasing the proportion of mother roots to 52.5 % compared to the baseline technology (48.8 %). The implementation of the biologically-based fertilization system resulted in an increase in net profit, depending on the variety, by 28.5–39.0 thousand UAH/ha, a reduction in production costs to 2.80–3.53 UAH/kg, and an increase in profitability to 60.3–90.3 % compared to the baseline technology for cultivating beetroot mother roots. The application of these technological approaches will ensure the future production of vegetable …

Influence of organic fertilizer "Bio-Gel" on drought resistance of seedlings of winter wheat
type: item
description: Мета та завдання. У науковій статті було поставлено завдання дослідити посухостійкість рослин озимої пшениці з використанням органічного добрива «Біо-Гель» та визначити здатність до накопичення сухої речовини в проростках під впливом стресу від посухи. Наведено результати досліджень впливу органічного добрива «Біо-Гель» на посухостійкість проростків озимої пшениці. Відповідно до лабораторних випробувань встановлено, що обробка насіння органічним добривом «Біо-Гель» в різних нормах сприяла кращому розвитку рослин, вищій вологопоглинальній здатності коренів, більш активному розвитку рослин у порівнянні з контрольною групою. Рослини озимої пшениці сорту Етана вирощували в посудинах на 800 г сухого субстрату (стерильний кварцовий пісок) в лабораторних умовах при вологості повітря 70–75 %, та природній освітленості 20 тис. лк за природного фотоперіоду. Вологість субстрату на початку досліду була 70% від повної волого-ємності. Кількість рослин на посудину – 20 шт., повторність кожного варіанта – 4. У фазі 2–3 листків в дослідних варіантах (інокуляція насіння добривом) вологість ґрунту знижували до 25% ПВ і підтримували на цьому рівні протягом 7 діб імітуючи тривалу посуху. Додатково проаналізовано вологість рослин і виявлено зростання вологості рослин у варіантах з різними нормами обробки насіння органічним добривом «Біо-Гель» порівняно з контрольною групою рослин. Проведене дослідження має практичну цінність, оскільки встановлює взаємозв’язок між дозою органічного добрива «Біо-Гель», яку використано для обробки насіння озимої пшениці, та посухостійкістю проростків, масою їх кореневої системи, вологістю рослин. В результаті дослідження виявлено, що обробка насіння органічним добривом «Біо-Гель» сприяє значно кращому розвитку кореневої системи, що підтверджується значенням коефіцієнтом посухостійкості, і для рослин насіння яких обробили препаратом в нормі 2,0 л/10 л води становить 0,51 проти 0,42 на контролі. Розвиток кореневої системи на даному етапі має вирішальне значен…

type: item
description: Наведено результати трирічних досліджень впливу різних строків сівби (5 і 15 травня) на ріст і формування врожайності сортів квасолі Первомайська, Докучаєвська, Мавка та Панна. Встановлено, що за другого строку сівби густота сходів і польова схожість насіння сортів Первомайська, Докучаєвська і Мавка зменшується, а сорту Панна – збільшується у порівнянні з першим строком посіву. Більш пізні посіви призводять до зниження виживаності рослин по всіх досліджуваних сортах квасолі. У сортів Первомайська і Докучаєвська спостерігається загальна тенденція до покращення структурних показників урожаю за першого строку посіву, а у сортів Мавка і Панна за другого строку. Найбільшу врожайність зерна квасолі у сортів Первомайська і Докучаєвська – 1,94 і 1,76 т/га отримали за першого строку, а у сортів Мавка і Панна - 1,72 і 1,55 т/га за другого строку сівби.

REDUCTION OF PLUM FRUIT LOSSES DURING TREATMENT WITH SALICYLIC ACID
type: item
description: The study of preserving the quality of fruit raw materials becomes relevant in connection with the value of plum fruits as a food product for dessert and technological purposes in the processing industry. Studying the influence of various methods of post-harvest processing of plum fruits will allow producers to choose the optimal method of storing fruits for a long period of time and will increase the quality of products on the modern market. The purpose of the conducted research was to study the influence of pre-treatment of plum fruits with a solution of salicylic acid on its preservation. The object of research is the technology of pre-treatment of plum fruits with salicylic acid. Pre-treatment of plum fruits with salicylic acid increases the duration of storage by 8 days. When spraying fruits with a solution of salicylic acid with a concentration of 100 mg/l, the yield of standard products was higher and amounted to 84.8% with the lowest absolute waste - respectively 4.5% and technical defect 5.9% Minimal natural losses of 4.8% after 30 days of storage of plum fruits were ensured by their treatment with a solution of salicylic acid at a concentration of 100 mg/l. Treatment of plum fruits with a solution of 100 mg/l salicylic acid made it possible to reduce absolute waste by 2.3% compared to untreated fruits. The amount of daily loss of fruit mass was uneven. Daily losses increased until the middle of the storage period (18–20 days), then slowed somewhat. More significantly, when treated with a solution of salicylic acid with a concentration of 100 mg/l. Regression analysis established a direct relationship between the duration of storage of plum fruits and daily weight loss during its storage. Equations of weight loss of fruits depending on the concentration of salicylic acid solution are given.

PRODUCTIVITY OF NAKED OATS (Avena sativa L. subsp. nudisativa) WITH FOLIAR USE OF HUMUS GROWTH STIMULANTS IN ARID CONDITIONS OF KHARKIV REGION IN 2024
type: item
description: Entry. For normal growth and development of crops, it is not enough to meet their basic needs for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Trace elements in plant nutrition play no less important role than all of the above. The main importance of trace elements is to increase the activity of enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical processes in the body, which increases the overall tone of the plant, and has a positive effect on the dynamics of growth and development. The system of plant nutrition with trace elements should be developed individually for each crop, taking into account the peculiarities of the geographical location and the level of removal of trace elements by the plant. Analysis of the latest research and publications. Creating the concept of the nutrient cycle, D.M. Pryanishnikov emphasized that it is necessary to fertilize the plant, not the fields. Ignoring this statement leads to both a decrease in productivity and an increase in capital investment. One of the ways to solve the problem of environmentally safe farming is the use of humic preparations produced on the basis of natural soil components. Due to their unique properties, natural humic substances increase the energy of the plant cell, stimulate vital processes, improve the physicochemical properties of the soil, activate the activity of microorganisms, and enhance the beneficial effect of other substances The use of humic preparations in the technologies of growing crops contributes to better growth and development of plants, increasing their resistance to infectious diseases, adverse environmental factors environment, yield growth. Materials and methods. The experimental plots were laid in APO "Mriya" LLC in the Bohodukhiv district of the Kharkiv region. Growth stimulants (fertilizers) manufactured by Pesticide EOOD (Bulgaria) were used for the research: Zinoviy Triple Extra Force, Zinoviy Triple Korn, Zinoviy Triple Oil, Zinoviy Triple Do…

MONITORING OF RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION SOILS AND GROUND PRODUCTS ON THE TERRITORY OF THE INITIAL TOWN OF THE STATE BIOTECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY
type: item
description: The main directions of research related to the accident at the Chernobyl NPP is given. The data from the gamma background and the level of radioactive contamination of agricultural lands of the educational and research farm of the KHNAU are presented. V. V. Dokuchaeva (now DBTU). It is shown that the increased values of the radiation background were recorded during the first three years after the accident, which is caused by radioactive fallout. The density of soil contamination with radioactive cesium increased from 0.02 to 0.5 Ki/km2, but their total pollution (137Cs + 90Sr) did not exceed 1 Ki/km2, which allows classifying the investigated soils into the "clean" category. A different pattern of radioactive contamination was observed in the Sumy region, which was chosen for comparison. Of course, different administrative regions were characterized by different degrees of pollution. Moreover, in different years at the same monitoring sites (Shostkinsky state farm named after Shchors, Shostka), quite significant differences in the density of pollution were observed 137Cs (0.32-0.90 Ki/km2). It is likely that the increase in radioactive soil contamination in 1991 is related to later releases of radioactivity. Radiometric data for the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions indicate that the specified territories belong to the category of clean zones.As of 1991, total pollution 137Cs and 90Sr in the soils of the Donetsk region did not exceed 0.06-0.13 Ki/km2.Monitoring of the radiation background on the territory of the educational campus indicates its significant increase in the post-accident period. Thus, the value of the radiation background measured on the "Beta" radiometer in 1985 was 1.33 imp/s. During the 90s, it varied between 2.03-2.48 imp/s. Its absolute values depended on the location of the measurement.Measurement of the radiation background in the dendrological park did not confirm the accumulation of radioisotopes by woody vegetation. If the radiation background nea…
