Herbicides remain the primary tool for weed control in modern crop production. Effective application of chemical plant protection products allows not only to minimize competition between weeds and crops, but also to preserve yield potential in various agrocenoses — from grain and industrial crops to vineyards. At the same time, the key aspect of protection today is the prevention of resistance and adherence to application technologies, which requires an agronomist to have a deep understanding of weed biology and the mechanisms of action of the products.
In this collection, we have systematized relevant materials concerning weed control, including work with invasive species and the use of herbicides in mixed crops. Readers will find here the results of field trials of products, an analysis of the range of plant protection products, as well as recommendations for preventing weed species resistance to chemical treatments. In addition, the articles cover related topics important for integrated crop protection: methods of post-harvest tillage, ways to control residual pesticides, and strategies for optimizing agrotechnical measures aimed at increasing farm productivity.
Crop production For students
Transition from traditional ploughing to minimum tillage allows protecting the agrocenosis from erosion and compaction. The article examines the causes of soil profile degradation by classical methods and presents effective ways to implement resource-saving technologies
Plant protection For agronomists
An overview of common pathogens of ornamental pot crops and effective methods of plant protection against rots, wilt, and infectious lesions. The article presents recommendations for maintaining the health of saintpaulias, schizanthus, and sonerila
Plant protection For agronomists
Lettuce leaf necrosis is a common problem leading to decreased yield and the development of secondary infections. The article examines the mechanisms of scorch emergence and methods for their prevention through the control of water management and environmental conditions
Plant protection For agronomists
The article examines rare viral diseases of greenhouse tomatoes, their symptoms and main transmission routes of infection. You will learn how controlling aphids, thrips and soil-borne nematodes helps to prevent the spread of viruses in a greenhouse
Soil and tillage For agronomists
Efficient soil preparation for stubble and post-harvest sowing requires immediate tillage after harvesting the predecessor crop. Adherence to technology and a differentiated approach to tillage depth allow for maximum retention of soil moisture and ensure the yield
Plant protection For agronomists
The article presents the results of long-term studies on the species composition of weeds in berry plantations of Belarus. The obtained data will serve as a scientific basis for selecting the range of herbicides and optimizing plant protection of strawberries and raspberries against weed vegetation
Greenhouses and covers For gardeners
Successful cultivation of berry crops in a greenhouse requires an integrated approach to agrotechnics. The article describes key methods of soil loosening, weeding, irrigation, and pruning for blueberries, cranberries, and lingonberries
Floriculture For students
Adherence to planting rules is the foundation for the successful development of ornamental crops. The article examines agrotechnical standards for selecting timing, planting density, and planting depth in open soil
Crop production For students
The article reveals the multifaceted potential of soybean as a valuable food, forage, and industrial crop. You will learn about the characteristics of its chemical composition, processing directions, and current global production figures
