Seed treatment is a key stage of pre-sowing preparation, aimed at protecting the future harvest from a complex of pathogens and pests at the very earliest stages of plant development. Competent selection of preparations and adherence to application technologies allow for mitigating threats even before the seed germinates, which is critical for both industrial grain and rapeseed crops and for vegetable crops in private plots. Effective plant protection directly determines the survival of seedlings and the potential yield of the field.
This collection contains expert materials covering both chemical and biological methods of disease and pest control. The articles present a detailed analysis of plant protection products for winter and spring wheat, rapeseed crops, and cruciferous crops. Readers will find information on the development biology of dangerous diseases, such as clubroot of brassicas, and will also become familiar with the technologies for the production and application of modern biological preparations based on fungi of the genus Trichoderma. The collected materials will help to form a comprehensive approach to plant protection, taking into account the phytosanitary state of the crops.
Plant protection For agronomists
The article describes the mechanisms of the effect of Trichoderma fungi on pathogens and existing methods for the industrial production of biological products. The features of grain and liquid forms, as well as requirements for their storage and quality characteristics, are considered
Plant protection For agronomists
Clubroot is a dangerous disease of crucifers, causing gall formation on roots and harvest loss. The article describes the signs of the disease, conditions for its spread, and integrated management measures against the pathogen
Farm machinery For agronomists
To ensure reliable protection of crops, agronomists employ a combination of agrotechnical, biological, physical, and chemical methods. The article examines the rules for using entomophages and pheromone traps, as well as regulations for chemical applications.
Plant protection For agronomists
The article presents an analysis of registered products for the protection of rapeseed from pests, diseases, and weeds in the Republic of Belarus. The authors evaluate the range of preparations by chemical classes and modes of action to optimize the crop protection system.
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
