The root system is the foundation of any plant's life activity. It not only ensures reliable fixation in the soil and storage of energy reserves, but also serves as a key organ responsible for the absorption of water and mineral substances. Understanding the mechanisms of diffusion, ion adsorption, and root growth physiology is a prerequisite for effective yield management. The health of vegetable, fruit, berry, and flower crops, their resistance to pathogens, as well as their ability to fully assimilate nutrients from the soil solution or substrate, depend directly on the condition of the root system.
This collection combines theoretical knowledge and practical recommendations necessary for working with plants at all stages of their development. The reader will find materials covering a wide range of topics: from the fundamental principles of agrochemistry and the nutrition processes of field and vegetable crops to highly specialized issues of rootstock selection in horticulture. We have also included articles dedicated to the protection of the root zone from diseases and methods for improving the agrophysical properties of the soil. This knowledge will allow agronomists and gardeners to build a competent care system aimed at maintaining a balance between plant productivity and the quality of the resulting produce.
Agrochemistry For students
The article describes the principles of mineral and organic nutrition of fruit trees. You will learn how to consider the type of root system and plant development phases for effective fertilizer application
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the mechanisms for controlling the respiration of grain and fruit during storage, as well as the principles of nutrient uptake by the plant root system. You will learn about the relationship between respiration intensity and product moisture, and the functional zones of the root that determine the choice of agrotechnical practices.
Planting and propagation For agronomists
Propagation by hardwood cuttings is an effective method for obtaining high-quality nursery plants for berry shrubs and clonal rootstocks. The article reveals key techniques for cutting preparation and professional technologies for increasing their survival rate
Plant protection For agronomists
The article is dedicated to the study of the species diversity of Fusarium root rot pathogens in spring triticale. The author analyzes the influence of weather and climatic factors on the development of the disease and the dynamics of pathogen spread in crops
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.
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
The article examines the rules for calculating the application of mineral fertilizers based on the active ingredient and provides data on the nutrient absorption rates by plants. The author explains how balanced nutrition affects soil fertility and root system development.
Viticulture For agronomists
Annual pruning is a key agrotechnical practice that allows for the management of grapevine development, the regulation of harvest load, and the maintenance of vine productivity for decades. The article reveals the biological basis of vine formation and the objectives of pruning at different stages of the plant's life.
Viticulture For agronomists
Trench ploughing is a mandatory stage in vineyard establishment, ensuring the formation of a robust root system and optimal conditions for the long-term productivity of the vines. The article examines the main methods of tillage and the specifics of their application depending on soil and climatic conditions.
Viticulture For agronomists
The vital activity of the grapevine is divided into periods of dormancy and active growing season. In this article, we will examine in detail the phases of winter development of the plant and the factors influencing the transition to growth.
Floriculture For students
The quality of seedlings and the cost of production depend on adhering to sowing rates and choosing the correct seed depth. The article describes the main sowing methods and recommendations for working with small, medium, and large seeds of ornamental crops
Fruit growing For agronomists
The physiological state of trees and harvest quality depend on proper inter-row maintenance. This article examines methods of soil fertility management, including the black fallow technology and principles of water regime regulation in the orchard.
Crop production For students
The article describes the technological aspects of vetch cultivation: from soil preparation to harvesting times. It examines the features of cultivating spring and winter cultivars, their nutritional value, and methods of use in forage production
