Published: January 2022

The article highlights the results of studying the impact of foliar fertilization with microfertilizers “Nanomix”, “Rostock”, “Reacom”, “Kvantum”, bacterial preparations “Azotofit”, “Phytocid”, “Biocomplex-BTU” and “Organic- balance"”on the yield of peas Oplot.
The field research was conducted under the conditions of the educational-scientific and practical center of Mykolaiv National Agrarian University of the Southern Steppe Zone of Ukraine. The soil of the experimental field is the southern blacksoil of medium-loamy weakly saline.
For pea sowing, grainy sowing was used СЗ-3,6 ASTRA with a sowing rate of 220 kg/ha (800000 pieces of germinating seeds per 1 hectare). The depth of seed seeding was – 5-6 cm. Seeds treated with Vitavax200 FF disinfectant (2.5-3 l / t) were used for sowing.
Different variants of applying preparations in the phase of branching, budding and joint processing of plants have been researched. The efficiency of foliar fertilization preparations on the formation of pea yield has been analysed.
The maximum yield of peas was formed using foliar fertilization with microfertilizer Nanomix in the phase of branching and budding in conjunction with the biological product Organic-balance and was 2.74 t / ha. With the use of biologicals on the background of microfertilizer Nanomix, the best option for the formation of crop yields of peas (2.56 t / ha) was foliar feeding in the branching phase + budding phase. By factor B, the best option was fertilization with Nanomix in the branching phase + budding phase, with a yield of 2.63 t / ha, and among the biological products for foliar feeding was Organic Balance, which formed an average yield of 2.58 t / ha. Our calculated polynomial correlation-regression dependences of pea yield on the use of Nnomix microfertilizer and biological preparations at different phases of plant treatment have showed that there is a very strong relationship between these formulations, which have been taken for the research and the yield. The coefficient of determination (R2) ranges from 0.651 to 0.940 with the use of Azotofit, from 0.658 to 0.903 - Phytocid, from 0.687 to 0.706 - Biocomplex and from 0.922 to 0.956 - Organic balance varies from 0.651 to 0.956, which is on a scale Cheddock characterized by such a statistical relationship as medium and strong.
As a result of our research on the use of preparations and microfertilizers for foliar feeding of vegetative pea plants in different phases of its growth, the best options were using microfertilizers Reacom and Kvantum in the branching phase and the tank mixture of microfertilizers Reacom and Kvantum with Biocomplex-BTU and Organic balance in the budding phase. These options provided a pea yield of 2.86-2.91 t / ha.

Authors: Shcatula Yurii , Kozachenko Mykola
Published: January 2022

The spread of areas under crops of winter barley is associated with great national economic importance, since its products include malt, feed grain, hay and are used in the food industry.
The main reasons for the production of an insufficient amount of winter barley grain is a violation of cultivation technologies. Among the main ones are the untimely use of means of protection or the absence of these measures to regulate the number of harmful organisms in crops of winter barley to an economically imperceptible level. Violation of the scientific foundations of agriculture and changes in weather and climatic conditions led to an increase in the development of diseases, the number of weeds in winter barley crops. During seed dressing with modern highly effective dressing agents, conditions are created under which winter barley plants better tolerate stress, improve the development of their root system, which is important for plants in preparation for winter entry. The infestation of winter barley fields is accompanied by the appearance of both early and late crops, a certain periodicity of the appearance of weeds of different biological groups. Accordingly, in different conditions and in different fields, the weed structure can differ significantly. Therefore, the development of highly effective systems for protecting winter barley crops from weeds largely depends on the completeness of the study of phytocenoses and the species composition of weeds.
The introduction of herbicides on crops of winter barley contributed to a sharp decrease in weeds. Dicotyledonous weeds were almost completely destroyed, in the agrocenoses of winter barley, mainly cereal weeds remained, but they did not pose a threat to barley plants.
Control of barley and weed plant diseases in agrocenoses provides an increase in crop yields, as well
as an improvement in grain quality. To obtain the planned level of grain yield of winter barley of appropriate quality, it is recommended before sowing barley seeds to treat with a disinfectant Scenik 80 FS at a rate of 1,5 l/ha, and for effective weed control in winter barley crops, spray with herbicide Caliber 75 c. g. + South Africa Trend 90 at a rate of 50 g/ha + 0,2 l/ha, which helps reduce weeds to 96,5% and will allow to obtain a grain yield of winter barley at 6,24 t/ha.

Lavandula angustifolia has a great economic importance in perfumery, cosmetics, food manufacturing, aromatherapy, and pharmaceutical industry. This species finds its phytosociological optimum in the sub-Mediterranean region. Latitudinal and altitudinal gradients are expected to affect species diversification in peripheral alpine populations. In this study, phenotypic traits including morphometric parameters, volatile organic compounds and essential oils were analyzed in lavender peripheral populations selected in order to explore different ecological conditions. Plants were cultivated under uniform conditions to observe variations due to the genetic adaptation to native environments and to exclude the short-term response to environmental factors.
According to the research, the peculiarities of the regenerative ability of Lavandula angustifolia lavender, which was propagated vegetatively by grafting, were established. Also, the influence of stimulating drugs for rooting, namely, treatment of cuttings with their solutions (Charcor, Heteroauxin, Emistim C, Epin-extra) was determined. The percentage of rooting cuttings of lavender narrow-leaved depending on the type of growth regulator. The influence of growth of regulating preparations for plants on specificity of formation of such morphometric indicators of rooted cuttings, as the linear sizes of an above-ground part, number and the linear sizes of the formed roots is carried out. These morphometric indicators are the basis for improving the efficiency of the vegetative method of propagation of lavender. This creates a prerequisite for the widespread use of ornamental plants, including lavender, for the needs of landscaping by simplifying the receipt of a sufficient amount of high quality planting material. After all, vegetative reproduction involves the preservation of all decorative features and properties of the mother plant. The issue of meeting the needs of the domestic market with the required amount of planting material of plants adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the area remains extremely relevant. Improving the existing technological parameters of vegetative propagation of narrow-leaved lavender through the use of growth-regulating preparations for plants makes it possible to obtain high-quality and viable planting material. And this is a very important practical issue of ornamental nurseries, which requires careful study and analysis from a scientific point of view.
ANALYSIS OF THE STATION OF TOPIARY FIGURES ON THE TERITORI OF THE VINNYTSIA NATIONAL AGRARIAN UNIVERSITY
Authors: Monarkh Veronika
Published: January 2022

The article examines the relevance of topiary art in modern landscape design. The art of topiary requires a well-thought-out compositional integrity. Before choosing plants, you should decide on the theme of the garden and the harmonious arrangement of topiary figures in it. Such compositions become an adornment of any backyard territory, giving it an aristocratic exclusivity and originality. A detailed taxonomic analysis of the assortment of plants, which were used to form topiary on the territory of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University and the botanical garden "Podillya", was carried out. The state of the existing topiary figures was assessed. The features of the formation of topiary figures by the classical and wireframe formation technique have been investigated. Of the plants of the classical formation technique, a spiral figure has an excellent appearance. The hedge, cone and column shape have a good appearance. Plants formed in the form of a circle have the lowest indicators of external perception. The frame technique for creating plant compositions prevails at the VNAU exposition area. Project proposals have been developed to improve the aesthetics and general appearance of topiary figures on the territory of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. For the plant to have an attractive appearance, appropriate care is needed. Pruning of plants (sanitary) should be carried out only during the dormant period. The best period will be the end of winter, when the threat of severe frosts has passed. In the spring, no later than the first half of April, the first corrective pruning of figures and hedges should be carried out. In the summer, several additional haircuts are made, the frequency of which depends on the intensity of growth. It is optimal to carry out an additional haircut 3 months after the first one. In summer, you do not need to cut in extreme heat. Haircuts are finished before the onset of the first frost. If you carry out the formation later, then the created topiary will simply freeze over. In the cold season, some figures, especially those created from conifers, can fall apart under the weight of snow, so it is advisable to tie them up.

Authors: Tsytsiura Yaroslav
Published: January 2022

The article reflects the results of studying the effectiveness of options for fertilizing oilseed radish on gray forest soils in the option of their pre-sowing use for the formation of yield of both leafy mass and seed yield, taking into account the complex use of this agricultural crop. A review of the characteristics of the mineral nutrition of oilseed radish over a long-term cycle of its study is made and aspects of its nutrition and the appropriateness of the use of mineral fertilizers are determined.
The features of the use of both single-component fertilization options for the introduction of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and the complex use of these nutrients for the mutual binary and complex application have been studied. The specified fertilization options were formed in an increasing order of norms from the control option without fertilizers to the complex application of N180P150K150, which made it possible to systematize the feasibility of each option and determine the possibility of using both the minimum additional mineral nutrition and high doses exceeding the recommendations for oil radish. It has been established that the main growth processes in the oilseed radish of the ‘Zhuravka’ variety, as a combined genotype of fodder and seed-growing use, are determined by high-grade nitrogen nutrition, and the norm is in the range of 60-90 kg/ha of active substance with a more expedient combination with chlorine-free potassium fertilizers type of kalimagnesia –was the most technologically expedient for realizing the yield potential of the leafy mass of oil-bearing radish on gray forest soils.
At the same time, it was proved that the effectiveness of the effect of additional mineral nutrition when using oilseed radish to obtain leafy mass depends on the hydrothermal conditions of its vegetation with a reduction of the proposed norms in conditions of insufficient soil and atmospheric moisture for the period of application of pre-sowing fertilizer.
It has been proved that the maximum yield of oil-bearing radish seeds in the ‘Zhuravka’ variety is formed in the variants of the pre-sowing application of additional mineral nutrition due to the introduction of N90P30-60K30-90 of the same forms of potash fertilizers, which ultimately ensures maximum yield levels of conditioned seeds with an indicator weight 1000 at the level of 10-11 g with the content of fat in the seeds on an absolutely dry weight at the level of 37-39.5%.

Background: Adiponectin is associated with improved systemic insulin sensitivity and profound positive effects in adipose tissue, such as increased mitochondrial density in adipocytes, reducing adipocyte size, and effective esterification of free fatty acids on lipid storage The factor performs forward transcriptional regulation. Diabetes and its complications are considered to be one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to correlate serum levels of adiponectin with insulin resistance in Sudanese males' type 2 diabetes mellitus. Design and Methods: A case-control community-based study carried out among 126 patients with T2DM as cases group (mean ages 45.2±5.4 years); and 126 normal healthy individuals as controls group (mean ages 44.7±5.4 years as) in Aldaraga Diabetic Center, Wad Medani, Gezira State, Sudan. About Five mL of fasting venous blood was obtained from all participants. HbA1c, FPG, FPI, serum Adiponectin, and (HOMA)- IR were analyzed. SPSS (v 20.0) was used for data analysis. Results: The mean of serum adiponectin in the cases group (3.03±0.90µg/ml) was lower than the control group (6.02±4.24µg/ml) giving highly significant differences -between them (P=value ≤ 0.000). HbA1c and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance index (HOMA-IR) differed significantly between the two groups (P-value ≤ 0.000). Serum adiponectin concentrations correlated significantly negative with HOMA IR (r = -0.149, P-value = 0.002). Conclusion: We concluded that low plasma adiponectin level was predictive of future development of Insulin resistance in Sudanese males.

Background: Preeclampsia is considered as one of the major health problems associated with pregnancy and one of the causes of maternal mortality. The pathogenesis of preeclampsia associated with platelets activation. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the platelets parameters (platelet count and platelet indices) in pregnant women with preeclampsia. Design and Methods: This is a case-control laboratory based study carried out in Wad Medani Obstetrics and Gynecology Teaching Hospital, Gezira State, Sudan from January to November 2020. A total of 50 pregnant women with preeclampsia as cases (32.20 ± 3.21 years) and 50 normotensive pregnant women as controls (30.68 ± 2.85 years) were participated in this study. Three ml of venous blood samples were collected from all participants in K3 EDTA containers. platelets parameters (platelet count and platelet indices) were determined using Mindray BC 3000 Automated Hematology Analyzer. Data were analyzed using SPSS computer program (version 22). Results: The study results showed that the thrombocytopenia account for 56 %, all cases with low PCT (100%). Furthermore the means of PLTs count, PCT and PDW in cases were (144.40 ± 31.80 × 109 /L, 0.13 ± 0.03 % and 15.80 ± 0.45 fl respectively) versus controls (269.40 ± 72.50 × 109 /L, 0.22 ± 0.05 % and 15.50 ± 0.29 fl respectively), giving statistically significant differences (P value = 0.000, 0.003 and 0.022 respectively). The mean of PCT of mild cases was lower than severe cases (P value = 0.004); but there were no significant differences in PLTs count, MPV and PDW (P value = 0.379, 0.283 and 0.075 respectively). Conclusion: The study concluded that platelet count (PLTs count) and plateletcrit (PCT) were significantly decreased in pregnant women with preeclampsia especially; so platelets parameters especially (PLTs count and PCT) should be included for assessing and predication of the risk of severe preeclampsia.
