The problem of environmental pollution with pollutants, chemical compounds of microelement composition is one of the most important problems of environmental safety. At present, modern studies of scientists consider toxic heavy metals as the most dangerous pollutants of soil, water and plant products of agriculture. In addition, the most active agents of pollution are their mobile chemical forms, which are able to pass from solid phases into soil and water solutions and be absorbed by plants and other organisms. Cereal crops have the ability to absorb nutrients both through the root system and the leaf apparatus, the surface of the stem. Also, trace elements are involved in many physiological and biochemical processes in plants, including acceleration of development, flowering, fertilization and fruiting, metabolism, etc. Quantitative characteristics of the migration of heavy metals from soil to plants during 2022 were evaluated for the studied territories of the Forest Steppe of Ukraine, in particular in Kyiv and Vinnytsia regions. Complex studies were carried out to determine the influence of Zn2+ and Cu2+ on phytocomponents of ecosystems. At the same time, data were obtained on the effect of zinc and copper salts on seed germination and growth of winter wheat seedlings. It is shown that, depending on the concentration of salts, there is a different effect on seed germination. As you know, heavy metals have a mutagenic, toxic effect and affect the intensity of biochemical processes. The authors established that according to the ecotoxicological criterion of bioaccumulation in the «soil — plant» system, the studied trace elements can be arranged in the following order: Cu2+ > Zn2+. Based on the results of experimental and theoretical research, a comparative analysis of the accumulation of heavy metals in the organs of Triticum aestivum (vulgare) L. (common wheat) is presented. According to the results of field experience, differences in the distribution of Zn 2+ and Cu 2+ in the organs of winter wheat have been established, grown on typical chernozem and gray podzolized soils. It was found that the main barrier function of the inactivation of the investigated heavy metals is performed by the roots of plants.","PeriodicalId":7521,"journal":{"name":"Agroecological journal","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89001026","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}

It was found that animal poisons have a significant impact on the formation and course of various forms of connections in ecosystems, perform several ecological functions and are important biotic factors of the environment. The best-studied venomous animals have been found to be snakes, of over 3,800 different species, only a small number are highly venomous. The Viperidae family includes 101 species of poisonous snakes. In Europe, Vipera ammodytes, Vipera aspis, Vipera berus, Vipera latastei, Vipera seoanei and Vipera ursinii are the most dangerous species, their bites cause severe poisoning. In Ukraine, the genus Vipera is represented by the steppe viper (Vipera renardi (Cristoph, 1861)) and two subspecies of the common viper (Vipera berus (Linnaeus, 1758)) — Vipera berus berus and Nikolsky’s viper (Vipera berus nikolskii, Vedmederja Grubant et Rudaeva, 1986). The factors that affect the diversity of the composition of snake venom are given. It is noted that snake venoms are complex mixtures of proteins, peptides and low molecular weight substances, among which enzymes and non-enzymatic components are distinguished. The biological properties of snake venom depend significantly on the properties of its components, which have a wide range of effects on the general state of homeostasis of a living organism. A generalization of scientific data on the study of the chemical composition of the venom of Vipera renardi, Vipera berus nikolskii and Vipera berus berus and the effects of these venoms on the functioning of the mammalian body has been carried out. It was found that the venom of Vipera berus nikolskii is the most, and Vipera renardi — the least toxic for mammals (mice). The effect of Vipera berus nikolskii and Vipera berus berus venom on the proteolytic balance of individual organs of rats was evaluated. It is emphasized that viper venom toxins have a great, not yet fully developed potential in many scientific fields, therefore they deserve further practical research.","PeriodicalId":7521,"journal":{"name":"Agroecological journal","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87101228","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 necessity of using modern methods and means of radioecological research to assess the radioecological state of land for the development of strategic management documents is demonstrated. The research carried out at the Institute of Agroecology and Environmental Management of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine during the period of 2020–2023 utilized interdisciplinary scientific methods including analysis and synthesis, retrospective and comparative analysis, analytical-synthetic (study of scientific and statistical data, legislative and founding documents, etc.), and mathematical-statistical methods. The analysis of the socio-economic situation was carried out based on official statistical data from the main statistical departments in Volyn, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Rivne, and Chernihiv regions. The estimated levels of radionuclide contamination of the territory were obtained based on official data from the State Enterprise «The Institute of Soil Protection of Ukraine». Radioecological-landscape mapping was carried out using the open-source software QGIS. The aim of the research was to substantiate the scientific basis for the rehabilitation and sustainable use of radioactively contaminated territories in Ukrainian Polissia region in the context of green economy to minimize the domestic food crisis. It has been demonstrated that the soil characteristics and vegetation cover of Ukrainian Polissia region contribute to the contamination of agricultural and forest products with radionuclides, which is a specific problem for the region. The most radiologically hazardous ecosystems for the release of radionuclides into the products are over-moistened meadows and pastures, forested areas, as well as agroecosystems on organogenic soils. Global climate change and the consequences of Russian military aggression are significant modifying factors for all previously existing environmental and socio-economic challenges. This necessitates the implementation of comprehensive measures for the rehabilitation of the region, preceded by monitoring studies and the development of appropriate strategic planning documents. Based on the results of a retrospective analysis and calculations, it has been established that, provided recommended agricultural measures are implemented, the restoration of effective agricultural production is possible throughout the territory of Ukrainian Polissia. It has been demonstrated that the comprehensive rehabilitation of Ukrainian Polissia depends primarily on the eco-economic efficiency of agricultural production, which requires a clear differentiation of agricultural activities in accordance with a range of ecological, economic, and social factors, as well as the improvement of agricultural production scenarios.

In particular, Ukraine is among the top 10 European countries in terms of installed power generation capacity, among the top 3 gas producers, and has the largest underground gas storages in Europe.

Complexes of legislative acts are developed by individual subjects in mutually inconsistent directions (regulation of energy markets, security of supply, standardization, physical protection, environmental requirements, etc.). It is substantiated that currently there are actually no tools for ensuring «energy security» and protection of Ukrainian subjects of the domestic energy market in the face of purposeful, politically motivated influen ce of other states, especially in view of the international obligations adopted by Ukraine regarding the construction of open, liberalized domestic energy markets.

So, the article presents the results of studies of changes in biometric parameters of spring barley plants depending on the effect of biological preparations Vympel 2, Oracle multicomplex and their mixture (Vympel 2 + Oracle multicomplex). The research was conducted on the basis of temporary field experiments (Skvyra research station of organic production of IAEM of the National Academy of Sciences) and at the department of agrobioresources and ecologically safe technologies in the laboratory of biocontrol of agroecosystems and organic production of the IAEM of the National Academy of Sciences. In the course of the work, it was determined that under the influence of the mixture of Vympel 2 + Oracul multicomplex preparations, spring barley plants of varieties Sebastian and Helios, in the phase of full grain maturity, were 10 cm taller compared to the option without treatment (control). This shows that the treatment of spring barley plants with microfertilizer and growth stimulator ensured an increase in the linear dimensions of plants in height in all phases of their development. It has been established that the influence of preparations Vympel 2, Oracul multicomplex and their mixture (Vympel 2 + Oracul multicomplex) enhances the formation of the assimilation apparatus, which improves the conditions for the growth and development of spring barley plants, both due to the stimulating properties of the plant growth regulator and the improvement of soil nutrition conditions from the side of microfertilizer, which affects the formation of high-yielding crops. It was analyzed that the ear length, the number of grains in the ear, and the mass of grains of spring barley plants changed under the influence of the preparations, which depends on the varietal characteristics of the plants and the stimulating effect of the studied preparations. The best results were obtained by using the Vympel 2 + Oracul multicomplex mixture on plants of the Sebastian variety, where the length of the ear was 2 cm higher, and the weight of the grains was 22 g heavier compared to the control variant.","PeriodicalId":7521,"journal":{"name":"Agroecological journal","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84709642","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}
