The growing season is a key period of time during which a plant actively grows and develops, passing through all stages from germination to crop ripening. Understanding the biological characteristics of this process, as well as the ability to competently manage environmental factors — soil nutrition, water regime, and temperature indicators — allows the agronomist and the gardener to maximize crop productivity. Knowledge of the laws of organism development helps to more accurately forecast yield and optimize resource use at each stage of the plant life cycle.
The presented collection gathers materials covering a wide range of agronomic tasks. Readers will find information on methods for extending the growing season using greenhouses, specifics of cultivating sugar beet, carrots, and lentils, as well as the principles of balanced mineral nutrition for vegetable crops and potatoes. Special attention is paid to irrigation technologies, water consumption forecasting, and the role of the biological phase of the soil in maintaining soil fertility. These articles will help both professionals and amateurs to take a systematic approach to managing plant productivity and intensifying agricultural production.
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the phases of active nutrient uptake by winter wheat and the impact of fertilizers on yield and grain quality. Practical recommendations are presented for the application rate of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in various soil and climatic zones
Agrochemistry For students
Senication is an agricultural practice that accelerates the completion of the life cycle of grain crops and stimulates an intensive outflow of nutrients from vegetative organs to the seeds. This method allows for effective management of plant productivity, increasing yield and improving the sowing qualities of the grain
Agrochemistry For students
Wastewater is a valuable resource containing nutrients and moisture for crops. The article examines the classification of wastewater by origin and its impact on soil agrochemical properties
Irrigation For agronomists
To ensure high yields, irrigation regimes must be adapted to the biological needs of crops and variable weather conditions. The article examines the principles of rational water use and the problems of accounting for water consumption during the operation of irrigation systems
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
A competent nutrition system for tomatoes takes into account the growing season phases, soil type, and crop nutrient requirements. The article contains practical recommendations on site preparation and the selection of fertilizer schemes to increase yield.
Viticulture For agronomists
The article examines key methods for determining the mineral nutrition level of grapes, including visual methods, injections, laboratory research, and soil analysis. The author analyzes the possibilities and limitations of each approach in the context of modern viticulture.
Viticulture For agronomists
The method of growing own-rooted nursery plants in film greenhouses allows obtaining high-quality planting material within one growing season. The technology excludes the use of a nursery bed and ensures a high yield of top-grade plants.
Crop production For students
Sugar beet is a vital industrial crop that provides high sugar yield and valuable by-products for agriculture. The crop also serves as an excellent predecessor in crop rotation, contributing to the improvement of soil fertility.
Crop production For students
Lentil is a sought-after pulse crop with high protein content, actively used in the food industry and for feeding livestock. The article reveals key yield indicators, agrotechnical features, and current cultivars dominating Russian production
Vegetable growing For students
Learn how the life cycle of vegetable crops depends on environmental conditions and why understanding developmental phases is necessary for plant growth control. An analysis of key stages of ontogenesis and practical techniques for regulating the growing season
