Water is a key factor determining the productivity of agrocenoses and the viability of the grown crops. The quality of irrigation water, its delivery methods, and combining irrigation with the application of nutrients directly influence plant development and the risk of phytopathology. Unbalanced irrigation and improper soil moisture management often become the causes of the active spread of fungal diseases, such as fusarium wilt, botrytis blight, and root rots, which are capable of destroying the harvest in greenhouses and open soil.
This selection of materials is dedicated to the issues of optimizing irrigation systems and managing the nutritional regime of plants. You will learn about the advantages of subsurface irrigation for vineyards and modern technologies of fertigation during sprinkler irrigation, as well as methods of diagnostics and plant protection against common infections. Additionally, the articles cover the use of mineral nitrogen fertilizers and calcium cyanamide, which will help build a comprehensive care system for plantings, minimizing the development of pathogens and contributing to a stable growth in yield.

Plant protection For agronomists
The article describes the main signs of fungal rot infection in potted crops, risk factors for their spread, and effective hygiene practices for plant protection in greenhouses and orangeries
Agrochemistry For students
Fertigation during irrigation allows for effectively combining irrigation with nutrient application, ensuring high crop productivity. The article discusses key equipment setting parameters, principles of dosing, and fertilizer application rates for various crops.
Agrochemistry For students
Calcium cyanamide is an effective nitrogen-calcium fertilizer for acidic soil with a prolonged effect. The article reveals its application rate, safety measures for personnel, and the mechanisms of nitrogen transformation in the soil environment
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the classification of mineral nitrogen fertilizers and the physiological features of their uptake by plants. You will learn how the chemical form of nitrogen affects the nutrient efficiency of crops and the rules for the application of these products to the soil
Viticulture For agronomists
Subsurface irrigation allows delivering soil moisture directly to grape roots, providing significant water savings and a substantial increase in yield. This method eliminates surface evaporation and optimizes the crop care process
