Dry matter is a key indicator of crop productivity and quality, reflecting the accumulation of organic matter during photosynthesis. Understanding the processes of carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, and nucleic acid synthesis is essential for managing plant growth and harvest formation. Regulating this indicator requires deep knowledge of nutritional physiology, including the role of meso- and ultra-microelements, as well as the effective use of mineral and organic fertilizers.
In this selection, we examine the biochemical mechanisms of plant mass formation: from the metabolism of individual elements, such as boron, silicon, and sulfur, to the influence of mineral nutrition conditions on the carbohydrate composition of forage crops. Readers will find information here on the fundamentals of agrochemical analysis of substrates, methods for conducting field trials, and quality assessment of feed. The materials presented will help to systematize knowledge about the chemical structure of organic compounds in plants and optimize agrotechnological approaches to increasing the yield and productivity of agricultural production.
Agrochemistry For students
Carbon accounts for nearly half of the plant's dry mass, yet its natural atmospheric concentration is often insufficient for high yield. The article discusses mechanisms of CO2 assimilation by crops and practical methods of carbon enrichment in the environment to stimulate active crop growth
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the key functions of oligosaccharides in plant life, including energy accumulation mechanisms and specific features of carbohydrate transport. The reader will learn about the chemical structure and specific properties of the most significant saccharides, such as sucrose, maltose, and lactose
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines carbohydrates as the basis of plant dry matter and the main product of photosynthesis. The author describes the classification of sugars, their sweetness, and the properties of the main monosaccharides found in agricultural crops
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the effect of organic and mineral substances on the nutritional value of produce. You will learn how managing plant composition allows for improving the harvest quality of grain, legume, and vegetable crops
Soil and tillage For agronomists
The article examines the physical state of the soil and methods of field tillage after row crop predecessors. Readers will learn how to minimize compaction and weed infestation for successful sowing of winter crops
