Root system

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

Agrochemical foundations for designing a crop nutrition system

An effective fertilizer system requires consideration of plant biological requirements, soil properties, and nutrient uptake dynamics. The article examines key factors that allow for the accurate calculation of application rates and timing to maximize yield.

Agrochemistry For students

The role and chemical composition of the liquid phase of the soil solution

The liquid phase of the soil, which scientists call the blood of the earth, is a key source of water and nutrients for plants. The article reveals the chemical composition of the soil solution and the mechanisms of interaction between mineral and organic substances in the processes of soil formation

The biological role of sulfur in plant nutrition and development

Sulfur is a key element for the synthesis of plant proteins and the maintenance of photosynthesis. The article examines the forms of sulfur uptake by plants, its influence on enzymatic processes, and the diagnosis of sulfur deficiency symptoms.
