Pre-sowing preparation is the foundation of a future harvest, including a complex of measures for seed and tuber protection, optimization of soil condition, and adjustment of agricultural machinery. Field emergence, the resistance of young plants to stress factors, and the efficiency of nutrient utilization depend directly on how well this work is performed. Proper preparation creates conditions for uniform crop germination and ensures protection of crops from pests at the early stages of development.
This collection gathers materials covering key aspects of preparation for the sowing campaign: from the physicochemical foundations of working with soil to practical recommendations on the technical equipment of seeders. You will find expert articles on methods of fertilizer application, the role of phytohormones and humic acids in plant development, as well as the specifics of potato protection. The information will be useful both when cultivating grain and vegetable crops and when working with perennial plantations, helping to take a systematic approach to planning spring field work.
Plant protection For agronomists
Potatoes are susceptible to infestation by Colorado potato beetle, wireworm and aphids, which can lead to a complete loss of harvest. The article reveals the specifics of the harmfulness of these phytophages and justifies the need for the application of insecticidal seed treatments at the stage of pre-planting preparation of seed material
Soil and tillage For agronomists
High-quality pre-sowing soil preparation is the key to preserving soil moisture and uniform emergence of winter crops. We analyze the selection of implements, the setting of tillage depth, and the rules for field rolling depending on its condition
Agrochemistry For students
To increase the yield and quality of vegetables, it is necessary to regulate the composition of fertilizer depending on the biology of a specific crop and soil conditions. The article provides information on the chemical composition of vegetable plants and potatoes, which is important for the proper management of agricultural crop nutrition
Agrochemistry For students
The article reveals the mechanisms of action of phytohormones as regulators of growth processes. You will learn about their transport pathways in the plant and the applied significance of auxins and gibberellins in agrotechnologies
Agrochemistry For students
Humic acids act as effective growth stimulants and natural soil conditioners, contributing to soil health and increasing crop productivity. The article reveals the mechanisms of humate influence on plant physiology and methods for detoxification of the soil substrate
Soil and tillage For agronomists
Winter precipitation, temperatures, and soil type determine the physical state of the arable land before sowing spring crops. Understanding these processes is essential for agronomists to properly plan spring tillage.
Farm machinery For agronomists
The article examines the process of preparing the SZ-3.6 grain-fertilizer seeder for field deployment. You will learn about the rules for checking components, adjusting coulters, and the methodology for setting seeding mechanisms to a specified application rate
Agrochemistry For students
The application of fertilizers on perennial meadows allows for increased green mass yield and improved feed quality. The article reveals the principles of effective herbage nutrition, the role of soil pH, and the dynamics of nutrient uptake by plants.
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the classification of slurry manure based on its humidity level, as well as its rheological characteristics and chemical composition, which depend on the type of livestock animal and their feeding ration
Viticulture For agronomists
The grapevine root system is responsible for plant nutrition, amino acid synthesis, and storage of nutrient reserves. The article examines the mechanisms of root function, their chemical composition, and the factors affecting grapevine development
Crop production For students
Wheat is the most important grain crop, providing food for the majority of the world's population. This article examines its nutritional value, global production figures, and the distribution geography of winter and spring forms
