Normalized spectral indices of seed coat as a predictor of germination in shelterbelt crops for adaptive farming technology
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 05/21/2026 - 16:43In adaptive farming, focused on stress tolerance and resource efficiency, pre-sowing seed quality assessment of shelterbelt crops is critical. The study evaluates the predictive potential of normalized spectral indices of the seed coat (epidermis) in the RGB space for forecasting laboratory-container germination. The research uses as an example a breeding form of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L. cv. Negorelskaya), which is used in protective afforestation.
State financial support for agriculture in Russia: regulatory impact, new challenges, and targets
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 05/21/2026 - 16:43The article analyses the key areas of state financial support for agriculture in Russia in 2019-2025. Based on an analysis of Rosstat data, the outcomes of sectoral programs, and compliance with regulatory acts, the following trends were identified: growth in production volumes, increasing regional differentiation, and transformation of tools for subsidizing, preferential lending, and agricultural insurance.
Effect of auxins on the callusogenesis in microclones of Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl.
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 05/21/2026 - 16:43Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl. are relict giant plants whose reproductive vulnerability cannot be challenged. Currently, the depletion of natural populations and the risk of plant extinction are acute issues. Therefore, biotechnological methods for creating in vitro genetic banks and bioresource collections are becoming particularly relevant. Such technologies include clonal micropropagation, which allows obtaining genetically stable, “healthy” planting material with a high reproduction rate.
Effect of soil colloid mobility on soil water retentivity
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 05/21/2026 - 16:43The colloidal component of soils affects many soil properties, including water retentivity. To reflect the structure of the colloidal component, the term “gel films” was introduced in the 1930s-1950s. A diagnostic property of gels as colloidal systems is their ability to coagulate and peptize – processes that determine the mobility of colloidal particles. The study aimed to investigate the effect of soil gel mobility and their components on soil water retentivity. The research was conducted on samples of grey forest soil and leached chernozem.
Organizational and economic mechanism for improving the efficiency of economic activities of agricultural companies
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 05/21/2026 - 16:43In the context of current state policy, focused on stable food security and achieving technological sovereignty, the systemic sustainable development of the agro-industrial sector becomes particularly important. Strategic priorities include increasing agricultural output, implementing import substitution measures through the use of domestically produced machinery and equipment, utilizing the national seed fund and breeding resources, and intensifying production using innovative technologies.
Production process of soybean varieties depending on the pre-sowing seed treatment
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 05/21/2026 - 16:43Field experiments were conducted in the leached chernozem soils of the foothill zone of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania (characterized as a forest-steppe with a moderately humid climate) to scientifically substantiate cultivation techniques for promising soybean varieties and improve components of adaptive cultivation technology. The research objects were early-ripening soybean varieties Bars and Irbis. For pre-sowing seed treatment, the following were used: rizotorphin (strain 643b), microelements (Mo, Mn, Se), and growth regulators (Epin, Pectin).
System of indicators for balanced development of the grain subcomplex of the Saratov Region incorporating ESG principles
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Thu, 05/21/2026 - 16:43The article presents an authoring system of indicators for the balanced development of the grain subcomplex in the Saratov Region, integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The object of the study is the grain subcomplex of the Saratov Region. A methodology for developing an integral sustainability indicator, adapted to regional specific features, has been designed.
