Cereal grasses form the basis of the feed supply in livestock production, determining the productivity of hayfields and pastures. For an agronomist, managing their development is a complex task that includes monitoring the nutritional value of plant mass according to state standards and optimizing mineral nutrition systems. Effective maintenance of grass stands requires a systematic approach: from the proper application of fertilizer to transform low-value lands to protecting crops from invasive plant species capable of suppressing beneficial vegetation.
This selection of materials covers key aspects of working with forage lands and related agrotechnical areas. Readers will find information here on quality standards for hay and silage, as well as practical recommendations for applying herbicides based on metsulfuron-methyl for weed control. In addition to forage production issues, the articles examine soil management technologies in fruit orchard row spacings, the specifics of cultivating fiber crops, and a comparative analysis of the role of perennial legumes in the structure of sown areas. This knowledge will help optimize production processes, increase land productivity, and ensure a balanced feed base for livestock.

Agrochemistry For students
The application of fertilizers on perennial meadows allows for increased green mass yield and improved feed quality. The article reveals the principles of effective herbage nutrition, the role of soil pH, and the dynamics of nutrient uptake by plants.
Plant protection For agronomists
Review of the biological characteristics and spread problems of invasive species of Sosnowsky's hogweed and Canadian goldenrod in the territory of the Republic of Belarus. The history of their introduction and negative impact on the environment are examined.
Fruit growing For agronomists
The physiological state of trees and harvest quality depend on proper inter-row maintenance. This article examines methods of soil fertility management, including the black fallow technology and principles of water regime regulation in the orchard.
Crop production For students
Switching to legume crops allows for the reduction of nitrogen fertilizer costs and solves the protein deficiency problem in livestock animal diets. The article examines the technological aspects of growing alfalfa, goat's rue, and clover to increase the efficiency of forage production
Crop production For students
Flax is a strategic fiber crop with high production waste-free efficiency. The article examines three main directions of flax cultivation, the specifics of harvesting depending on the objectives, and the nutritional value of its processed products
