Vegetative mass is the foundation of productivity for any plant. The processes of photosynthesis, accumulation of sugars, and the final volume of the harvest directly depend on how correctly the leaf apparatus is formed and the above-ground part is developed. For an agronomist and a practical plant grower, managing this process is a key task that requires an integrated approach: from a deep understanding of the physiology of crops and their need for nutrients to effective control of competition from weeds.
This collection contains materials that help to build a system for managing plant development. We examine the role of mineral nutrition, the influence of soil conditions, and carbon metabolism on the growth of vegetable, industrial, and floral crops. Special attention is paid to methods of agrochemical analysis, the specifics of fertilizer application for various plant species, and the protection of crops from weeds. The articles will help systematize knowledge about the life cycles of agricultural crops and select optimal ways to regulate their nutrition to achieve maximum qualitative and quantitative indicators of yield.
Agrochemistry For students
To increase the yield and quality of vegetables, it is necessary to regulate the composition of fertilizer depending on the biology of a specific crop and soil conditions. The article provides information on the chemical composition of vegetable plants and potatoes, which is important for the proper management of agricultural crop nutrition
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the features of assessing the nutritional value of greenhouse soil and calculating fertilizer doses, taking into account the type of substrate and laboratory analysis methods. You will learn about the differences in approaches to determining available nutrients for key floral crops
Agrochemistry For students
The article discloses the agrochemical requirements of sugar beet regarding soil structure, density, and acidity. Data on the removal of primary nutrients and their effect on harvest quality are also presented.
Plant protection For agronomists
The article presents the results of field trials of the florasulam-based herbicide Russel 100. The biological efficacy of the product in controlling broad-leaved weeds in maize and winter wheat crops is examined
Plant protection For agronomists
Grass weeds create serious competition for industrial crops, significantly reducing their yield. The article analyzes the economic thresholds of weed infestation in crops and the effectiveness of using specialized herbicides
Agrochemistry For students
Agrovitakva AVA complex fertilizer is a safe, nitrogen-free, long-acting agent, the effectiveness of which directly depends on soil temperature and plant root exudates. The article examines the key properties of this fertilizer and its application rates for a wide range of agricultural crops
Agrochemistry For students
Carbon accounts for nearly half of the plant's dry mass, yet its natural atmospheric concentration is often insufficient for high yield. The article discusses mechanisms of CO2 assimilation by crops and practical methods of carbon enrichment in the environment to stimulate active crop growth
Viticulture For agronomists
Effective mineral nutrition of grapes requires an accurate calculation of fertilizer application rates based on an agrochemical analysis of the soil. Learn how to balance vine nutrition and avoid mistakes that reduce the productivity of plantings
Vegetable growing For students
Vegetable crops are characterized by high nutrient uptake with a limited root system. The article explains how to correctly calculate fertilizer doses taking into account the intensity of NPK consumption by different groups of plants
Vegetable growing For students
Learn how the life cycle of vegetable crops depends on environmental conditions and why understanding developmental phases is necessary for plant growth control. An analysis of key stages of ontogenesis and practical techniques for regulating the growing season
