The quality of seed material is a determining factor for productivity in crop production. Understanding the morphological features of seed, technologies for preparation for sowing, sowing rates, and optimal planting depth allows for laying the foundation for future harvests of vegetable, grain, and floral crops. In this collection, we examine the agrotechnical aspects of growing essential agricultural plants — from wheat and corn to millet and potatoes — taking into account their biological features and geographic cultivation factors.
In addition to sowing issues, the materials in this collection cover key risks associated with pathogens. Readers will find a detailed analysis of viral, bacterial, and fungal diseases, including tomato mosaic virus, phytopathogenic bacteria, foliar diseases of soybean, and potato scab. Special attention is paid to maintaining product quality during storage and controlling weeds such as creeping thistle. The collection also presents information on the role of microbiological preparations in increasing soil fertility, which will help specialists and practicing farmers build an effective strategy for plant protection and nutrition.
Vegetable growing For students
Sowing strategy and seedling development depend on the biological characteristics of seed. The article analyzes patterns of crop germination and provides a classification of seed by size for effective equipment calibration
Plant protection For agronomists
ToMV is one of the most stable and infectious viruses affecting tomatoes. The article describes the biological properties of the pathogen and the main visual symptoms of the disease, including mottling and leaf deformation
Plant protection For agronomists
The article reveals biological characteristics of phytopathogenic bacteria, including their feeding mechanisms, reproduction methods, and enzymatic activity. It also describes main symptoms of plant infection, such as necrosis, soft rots, chlorosis, and tumor formation
Farm machinery For agronomists
The article describes key aspects of seed preparation and technological requirements for sowing. You will learn how the sowing depth and seed treatment methods affect the uniformity of emergence and future yield
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the importance of microorganisms for soil fertility and the use of bacterial preparations. The reader will learn about types of bio-fertilizers and criteria for selecting Nitragin strains for effective nitrogen fixation
Seeds and varieties For agronomists
The article describes the morphological characteristics of creeping thistle achenes, helping agronomists identify the weed within grain mass. An overview of the geographical range of this dangerous species is also presented
Plant protection For agronomists
Silver, common, and black scurf are major threats to potato production. These diseases not only diminish the appearance and quality of the harvest but also trigger the development of secondary infections, leading to significant losses during storage.
Plant protection For agronomists
Soybean is susceptible to a wide range of fungal and bacterial diseases capable of reducing yield by up to 50%. The article examines the causes of losses and the biological characteristics of the development of the most common pathogens, including downy mildew
Crop production For students
The article describes the biological characteristics, nutritional value, and agrotechnical potential of millet. You will learn about the role of the crop in crop rotation, the yield of various cultivars, and the methods of using grain in agriculture
Crop production For students
The article covers the biological characteristics of maize and its agrotechnical significance in crop rotation. It examines the versatile use of the crop in the food industry and its leading role in providing a feed base for livestock
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
