The soil is represented by chernozemordinary low in humus full-profile. The potential soil contamination in the arable layer byvegetative organs of reproduction of perennial suckering weeds was average (100–120 thousandpieces / m2), and high (800–900 million pieces / ha) by seeds of annual weeds. Scarlet grosbeakwas placed after winter wheat. Soil-applied and post-emergence herbicides were applied in therecommended time by a small-sized sprayer OM-4, developed by the Department of GeneralAgriculture and Soil Science of the State Agrarian and Economic University and limited liabilitycompany “Agromodul”. Years of Scarlet grosbeak growing were characterized as typical for theSteppe zone of Ukraine, but differed in the amount of precipitations. The main reasons for thesmall area of distribution of Scarlet grosbeak are identified. The attention was paid to the needfor integrated weed control for the successful growing of this legume crop. It is found that in thesegetal сommunity of Scarlet grosbeak the dominant position was occupied by common ragweedand annual cereals, which at the beginning and end of the growing season accounted for about90% of the total number of weeds. The presence of a small amount of white orache, lesser bindweed,redroot amaranth and others was also noted. In accordance with the evaluations of the technicalefficacy of herbicides in crops of Scarlet grosbeak, which are a weak competitor to weeds,indicate the need to take into account their effect on the weight of weeds. The best results in thecontrol of common ragweed in the crops of the studied culture were provided by preparationsbased on Prometryn 400 g / l + Metribuzin 100 g / l, Imazethapyr 100 g / l and Imazamox 40 g / l,which helped to reduce its weight in the air-dry state by 67.9; 64.4 and 62.1%, respectively, comparedwith the control. The least effective was the insurance (post-emergence) herbicide based onMetribuzin 600 g / l, which helped to reduce the mass of common ragweed in the air-dry state byonly 10.7% compared to the control.

The eco-morphic approach to the analysis of ecological systems is a component of the concept of ecomorphic matrices. The ecomorphic matrices consist of blocks comprising the synecological properties of the soil animal community, each reflecting a particular aspect of its ecological features. The systemic combination of these characteristics is able to provide a comprehensive reflection of the diversity and functional state of the community. As a result of research on the territory of green areas in the city of Dnieper and Melitopol revealed 53 species or taxon species level representatives of soil macrofauna of the 48 genera and 32 families, 13 orders, 7 classes and 3 types. The article presents the biological and ecological characteristics of macrofauna species. Analysis of the ecomorphic structure of communities of soil macrofauna showed that in the cenomorphic structure prevail syl-vants, which represent 44.2% of the species richness of the community. Differences between com-munities Melitopol and Dnieper on cenomorphic structure statistically not reliable. Saprophages and predators prevail in trophic structure of soil macrofauna communities. Topomorphic structure of communities is dominated by epigeic forms (65.4%) and considerably exceeded by endogean forms (32.7%) Only one species represents burrowing soil animals – D. nassonovi. The community is dominated by mesophiles, which is typical for forest cenoses. Megatrophocenomorphs predomi-nate in the trophocenomorphic structure of the community. Aerophiles (48.1%) and subaerophiles (34.6%) predominate in the communities. The dominance of aeromorphs sensitive to the provision of air for breathing, indicates a satisfactory air regime in the soil green areas of public use. Carbon-atophiles are most represented in the community. Communities of soil macrofauna of public green spaces has features of amphicenosis, in which steppe and meadow components are significantly represented against the background of predominance of forest component. Tree plantations in a city park form a common forest environment, although they do not form a stable forest monocenosis. Recreation and other forms of anthropogenic influence do not allow the formation of a forest mono-cenosis or pseudomonocenosis. The trophic aspect of the structure deciphers the importance in the community of the cenotic components. The trophic structure of sylvants repeats the trophic structure of the community as a whole and this allows us to consider sylvants as the functional basis of the soil fauna community. Phytophages prevail among sylvanians, which fully corresponds to typical trophic structure of steppe zonal communities.

Despite the increase in productioncosts, the treatment of plant seeding with biologics contributed to a certain increase in notional netprofit, which increased with the number of feeds, reaching the highest values if used to optimizethe nutrition of Fresh florid (300 g/ha). One feeding of Stalker variety is determined at the levelof 5927, two feeding ‒ 6890, three ‒ 7320 UAH, and 3857 UAH/ha ‒ in control.

The study was conducted in the reservoirs of the nature reserve “Dniprovsko-Orilsky”. Ichthyological sampling was carried out according to standard methods used in the study of the quantitative and qualitative composition of fish communities. During the study period, representatives of 38 species of juvenile fish were established in the surveys. Numbers of fish communities showed temporal patterns and differed significantly between habitat types. At presence of the general temporary trends of abundance, each of types of biotopes is characterized by the features of temporary dynamics. The highest level of abundance was characteristic of the channel part of the Dnieper River. Lake ecosystems of the Dnieper River floodplain were characterized by a much lower level of fish abundance. Among lake ecosystems, the highest number of juvenile fish communities was established for the reservoirs of the Taromsky ledge. The highest biomass was established for the channel part of the Dnieper River. The biomass of juvenile fish communities was significantly lower in the lacustrine water bodies. Species diversity of juvenile fish communities statistically reliably depends on habitat type and year as a categorical variable. The number of species increases with the growth of community abundance up to a certain level, after which there is an exit to a plateau: the growth of abundance is not accompanied by a significant increase in the number of species in the community. Biotopes can be divided into three groups according to the level of diversity. It has been substantiated that the establishment of protected areas and the maintenance of a fish conservation regime within them is an important factor in stabilizing the temporal dynamics of abundance, diversity and sustainability of fish populations over a much larger area than the territory of the reserve itself. Young fish communities are a sensitive indicator of the temporal dynamics of the ecological state of water bodies and respond both to the negative impact of anthropogenic activities and to positive measures of protection of biological diversity in protected areas.","PeriodicalId":33211,"journal":{"name":"Agrology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70171940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to determine the patterns of seasonal dynamics of the spatial normalized difference vegetation index for the main crops grown in the south of Ukraine and to connect it to their phenology. Remote sensing data provided by the OneSoil AI platform, which uses Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery as a basis, was used to derive the monthly index values for the 2016–2021 growing season for nine selected crops grown in the experimental fields at the NAAS Institute of Irrigated Agriculture, Kherson, Ukraine. The fallow field was also included in the study to determine the cutoff values of the vegetation index, which are not representative of any healthy vegetation. It was determined that each crop has its unique pattern of the dynamics of the vegetation index, except for winter wheat and winter barley, which demonstrated quite similar models. The peak values of the vegetation index were observed in May for winter crops (wheat, barley, rapeseed) and early-spring crops (chickpea, peas), while the late-spring crops (grain corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, sunflower) reached the peak values in July. It is possible to suggest that the highest demand for mineral nutrition and watering will fall in the mentioned time periods of late spring and midsummer. Phenological monitoring revealed that the highest values of the spatial normalized difference vegetation index were observed in the following stages of crop growth, namely: winter wheat, winter barley – stem elongation; winter rapeseed – flowering; chickpea – branching; peas – budding and flowering; sunflower – stem growth; soybeans - pod formation; grain sorghum – panicle ejection and flowering; grain corn – panicle ejection and flowering. The results provide novel information for further implementation in the mathematical models for automation of crops recognition, mapping, and phenological observations based on the remote sensing data. Further scientific research in this direction will be aimed at increasing the spectrum of crops studied and a detailed investigation of the relationship between the value of the normalized difference vegetation index and their phenology.","PeriodicalId":33211,"journal":{"name":"Agrology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70172096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insurance, reserve, breeding and transi-tional funds are such stocks in corn seed production. Their creation and maintenance largely depend on the economic longev-ity of seeds, which can be formed at the stages of cultivation, harvesting, post-harvest processing and storage of seed. However, the data on the peculiarities of the formation of seed longevity of corn hybrids and their ability to long-term storage are lim-ited. That is why research in this area is considered relevant and important. The results of study of regularities of formation and factors of longevity of corn hybrids seeds of domestic selection are summarized in the executed work. Ecological, technical-technological and varietal factors are formed dur-ing corn cultivation, har-vesting and processing. The greatest dependence is noted on the hydrothermal conditions, start-ing from the stage of cultivation, and then – in the stages after harvesting - the modes of drying and separation of seed. High economic durability is provided under the following conditions: hydro-term coefficient at the level of 0,5–0,7 – for vegetation and 0,3–0,4 – for maturing, dry-ing temperature within 36–400С at humidity of seeds of 20–30%, fractional separation, removal from the seeds mass of the unstable frac-tion containing 18–20% of the total. Some of the factors included a sign of seed size, which is clearly manifested at the stage of long-term storage of seed. Sowing fractions differ significantly in terms of size, including the weight of 1000 seeds and their linear size. The greatest economic durability is inherent in the first and second of all factions. It is recommended to obtain them by calibrating the seeds on separating sieves with round holes with a diameter of 8–10 mm, depending on the hybrids. Prolonged storage is proposed on the basis of a combination of two factors – low humidity and airtight packaging of seeds. This significantly reduces resource costs and extends the economic longevity of corn hybrid seeds to 4–5 years.","PeriodicalId":33211,"journal":{"name":"Agrology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70172293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Miscanthus × giganteus Greef et Deu. is a perennial herbaceous introduced energy hybrid plant whose biomass is used after processing to a solid or liquid biofuel. The plant is characterized by a relatively low level of absorption of pollutants from the soil by vegetative organs, as its well-developed root system acts as a buffer, helps to stabilize pollutants in the soil and prevents their further spread. Sustainable Miscanthus × giganteus Greef et Deu. ( M. × giganteus ) growth on contaminated with heavy metals and other хenobiotiсs soil depends on its adaptive performance, including establishment rate, resistance to stressors. The one way to address this issue is the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs), namely Stimpo and Regoplant with micromycete Cylindrocarpon obtusiusculum (Sacc.) U. Braun, whose metabolites are the active substance. The objective of this laboratory study was to evaluate possibility to cultivate Cylindrocarpon obtusiusculum on Chapek’s medium with replacing of hydrocarbon component glucose to chipper one – lactose or starch for further production of Stimpo and Regoplant and testing its growth stimulating activity on M. giganteus . The results showed that the most suitable for the growth and accumulation of biomass of C. obtusiusculum was the Chapek media, which includes starch. The mean growth rate of C. obtusiusculum was in 2.3-fold higher on 8th day of cultivation compared to growth on glucose medium and in 3.3-fold higher than growth on lactose medium. It was found that on the 6th day of growth the concentration of biomass accu-mulaed by the strain was higher on the medium with a single carbon source – starch with value of 2.47 g/l, respectively. On the Chapek medium with glucose and lactose, the biomass concentra - tion was twice as low. Obtained results indicated the possibility of replacing glucose – a valuable carbon sources of Chapek’s medium with starch as a cheaper ingredient for PGRs production. Cultivation of C. obtusiusculum with a change in carbohydrate source did not affect the morpho - logical characteristics and development of spore-bearing cultures. On the medium with starch the growth acceleration and formation of mycelial fungal metabolites was observed, which were used further to obtain of the culture fluid and PGRs Stimpo and Regoplant.
