Rooting

Rooting is the foundation of vegetative propagation, which allows for the preservation of a cultivar's traits and the production of high-quality nursery plants. For agronomists and practitioners, successful organ regeneration directly depends on understanding the biological patterns of crop development, microclimate control, and the use of phytohormones. A correctly chosen method — from cuttings using woody or green shoots to the use of specialized misting systems — determines the viability of future nursery plants and their productivity.

This collection gathers materials covering key aspects of working with fruit, berry, and ornamental crops. You will find a detailed description of cutting technologies, principles of operating equipment for maintaining humidity, and recommendations for preparing nutrient-rich substrates. In addition, the articles highlight the physiological mechanisms of auxin action and the factors influencing plant recovery. Studying these materials will allow you to systematize knowledge about regeneration processes and optimize operations in a greenhouse or nursery.

Plant protection For agronomists

Biological plant protection of vegetable crops against diseases and nematodes

Agronomists use biological pest and disease control methods in greenhouses, including the application of trichothecin against powdery mildew of cucumbers and avermectin complex against root-knot nematodes on tomatoes. The article contains regulations for the application of preparations and a comparative analysis of their application methods

Crop production For students

Stages of organogenesis and patterns of cereal crop development

The article examines the biological patterns of cereal crop development, including the classification of six main phenological phases and twelve stages of organogenesis. This material will help agronomists more accurately determine critical growth periods for effective field work planning.
