Species composition is a fundamental concept in agronomy that defines the structure of biocenoses on agricultural lands. Precise knowledge of which pathogens infect triticale crops, which weeds compete with berry crops, or which phytophages threaten winter rapeseed allows specialists to make informed decisions. Understanding the species diversity of soil microorganisms, phytoplankton in ponds, or honey-bearing plants is key to managing the productivity of agroecosystems, whether they are large-scale crops or private gardens.
This selection contains materials that help assess the phytosanitary condition of fields, orchards, and water bodies. You will find scientific data on weed monitoring, population dynamics of pests, and the species diversity of disease agents. In addition, the articles cover issues of soil biological activity, methods of controlling seed weediness, and approaches to planning tillage systems and feed bases. This knowledge is necessary for forming effective plant protection strategies, optimizing crop rotation, and ensuring the sustainable functioning of organic and commercial farms.
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
Plant protection For agronomists
The article presents the results of long-term studies on the species composition of weeds in berry plantations of Belarus. The obtained data will serve as a scientific basis for selecting the range of herbicides and optimizing plant protection of strawberries and raspberries against weed vegetation
Fish farming For students
The article examines the importance of phytoplankton as the nutritional basis for hydrobionts and a key factor in the productivity of pond reservoirs. The author analyzes the biological characteristics of various microalgae groups and their role in forming a balanced diet for fish
Plant protection For agronomists
The article presents the results of long-term monitoring of phacelia seed lots. The authors identify the species composition and the quantity of weed diaspores typical of seed material sold in the retail networks of Western Siberia
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.
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines indicators of soil biological activity and methods for their evaluation. A scale for the comparative analysis of soil biochemical processes under the influence of agrotechnical factors is presented.
Soil and tillage For agronomists
An effective tillage system is based on sound crop rotation and precise adherence to agrotechnical practices for each crop. The article provides practical recommendations for field preparation and examples of tillage within a crop rotation
Plant protection For agronomists
The article presents the results of multi-year monitoring of the phytosanitary situation in winter rapeseed crops in Belarus. It analyzes the species composition of pests and the influence of meteorological factors on their activity during the autumn and spring growing season.
Plant protection For agronomists
The article examines the efficiency of post-emergence herbicide treatment in mixed crops of maize and sunflower. It describes the critical stages of weed development and the methodology for conducting field trials for the protection of sensitive crops
Fruit growing For agronomists
Modern intensive organic orchards rely on high technologies and the use of the ecosystem's own biopotential. The article examines a conceptual model of orchard functioning, principles of cultivar selection, and methods of adjusting the agroecosystem to obtain a stable harvest.
Beekeeping For students
Apiary productivity directly depends on the accuracy of assessing honey resources within the bees' flight radius. The article describes a step-by-step algorithm for calculating the feed balance, which will help avoid overloading the area and increase the commercial honey yield
