Corn occupies a key place in modern crop production due to its high productivity and versatility of use. For agronomists and industry specialists, understanding the biological characteristics of this crop, its role in crop rotation, and effective methods of plant protection against pests, such as the European corn borer, is the foundation for obtaining stable yields. Of particular importance is the adoption of progressive technologies, including growing mixed crops with sunflower and using modern herbicide systems for weed control.
This collection of materials covers the full cycle of working with the crop: from fundamental agrotechnical principles to practical solutions for plant protection. Readers will find expert recommendations on the application of herbicides, the planning of tillage systems, and the management of irrigation using structured databases. In addition, the collection presents current information on the use of corn in forage production, which allows for linking crop production issues with effective livestock farming, including the calculation of balanced feeding rations and compliance with state feed quality standards.
Crop production For students

Plant protection For agronomists
Mixed crops of maize and sunflower significantly increase the productivity of forage production but require thorough protection against weeds. The article reviews methods of soil herbicide application and test results on preserving the harvest of green mass
Plant protection For agronomists
The article presents the results of field trials of the florasulam-based herbicide Russel 100. The biological efficacy of the product in controlling broad-leaved weeds in maize and winter wheat crops is examined
Plant protection For agronomists
The article examines the efficiency of post-emergence herbicide treatment in mixed crops of maize and sunflower. It describes the critical stages of weed development and the methodology for conducting field trials for the protection of sensitive crops
Plant protection For agronomists
The article analyzes the phytosanitary situation in maize crops in Belarus and the degree of plant damage by the European corn borer. The authors examine the factors contributing to the increased harmfulness of the phytophage and its impact on the quality and quantity of the harvest.
Irrigation For agronomists
Using a structured database allows for irrigation planning based on the actual needs of crops, saving resources and preventing excessive soil moisture. The article describes the key indicator groups necessary for setting up an accurate irrigation regime.
Livestock For students
The article presents a selection of exemplary feeding rations for lactating cows with a live weight of 600 kg. The data are structured by lactation periods and include a detailed feed composition, dry matter content, metabolizable energy, and nutrients in accordance with established standards
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
Livestock For students
To maintain high productivity in livestock, it is necessary to adhere to standards for nutritional value and diet composition. The material provides tabular quality standards for hay, silage, and concentrate feed, regulated by current GOST
Livestock For students
The material presents scientifically grounded compositions of starter compound feeds for calves and piglets, and also provides data on the nutritional value of diets for livestock animals and poultry according to the recommendations of V. G. Ryadchikov
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
Poultry For agronomists
