Issue №: 3 (18)
The issue of the journal deals with the study of optimization of technological methods of growing crops. A special role is played by the influence of legumes on improving soil fertility, adaptive selection, and peculiarities of vegetable growing, ecology and environmental protection, methods of pest control, introduction of ornamental plants.
DYNAMICS OF SOWN LUCERNE DENSITY IN THE PERIOD OF VEGETATION, DEPENDING ON THE OPTIMIZATION OF TECHNOLOGICAL METHODS OF GROWING
Tsyhanskyi Viacheslav – Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Senior lecturer of the Department of of Plant Production, Selection and Bioenergetic Crops of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (21008, Vinnytsia, Soniachna St. 3, tsiganskiyslava@gmail.com).
The most widespread perennial leguminous grass is lucerne (Medicago sativa L.). Lucerne is a high nutritive value legume that is grown for its feed value, its contribution of legume nitrogen to the soil and for its deep root system and ability to use water. Lucerne is rated on its winter activity level with varieties having high or low winter growth activity. Lucerne is suited for soils with a pH (CaCl2) between 5.5 and 8.0. Rooting depth of lucerne is constrained by poor soil structure, acidity, compaction, salinity and waterlogging. Lucerne can increase the capacity of soils to store water because of its deep roots and perennial life-cycle. The role of lucerne is exposed in a feed production. Climatic, soil, genetic and management factors and their interactions influence lucerne production. The separate elements of technology of its growing are considered in this article. The value of lime treatment has been exposed in growth and development of this culture. Influence of inoculation, growing technique, presowing seed treatment on the thickness of lucerne plants (Medicago sativa L.) has been presented. With the introduction of new varieties of perennial legumes, namely alfalfa sowing, there is a need to develop elements of cultivation technology and to establish their impact on grass density during the growing season. To create a highly productive agrophytocenosis of alfalfa for sowing due to the maximum preservation of plants in the grassland, it is advisable to grow it uncovered with the application of herbicide on the background of mineral fertilizers and application of full lime with pre-sowing seed treatment with Rhizobophyte in combination with Emistim С.

About the journal
Cluster Agricultural and veterinary sciences (H1 Agronomy, H2 Animal Science, H3 Landscape Gardening, H4 Forestry, H6 Veterinary Medicine, and H7 Agricultural Engineering)
Name of the publication «AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY»
The scientific-production and educational journal "Agriculture and Forestry" is an open-access, peer-reviewed publication that features original experimental research, as well as theoretical and practice-oriented articles within the "Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences" cluster.
The scope of the journal covers fields such as agronomy, forestry and horticulture, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, and agricultural engineering. The publications, which hold both scientific and practical significance, highlight the experimental foundations for developing the agricultural and forestry sectors, innovative production technologies, and the results of fundamental and applied research aimed at increasing productivity, product quality, and the sustainable development of natural and production systems.
Purpose of the Scientific Journal. The purpose of the scientific journal "Agriculture and Forestry" is to present the results of fundamental and applied research in the fields of agricultural sciences and forestry aimed at improving the efficiency of agricultural production, and implementing modern technologies into practical management activities.
This purpose determines the main objectives:
– to ensure open informational access to the results of relevant scientific research for lecturers of agricultural higher education institutions, PhD students, doctoral candidates, researchers, and specialists in agricultural production;
– to promote the development of young scientists in the fields of agricultural and veterinary sciences;
– to intensify communication between experienced researchers and young scientists in agronomy, animal science, landscape gardening, forestry, veterinary medicine, and agricultural engineering;
– to promote the expansion of cooperation between Vinnytsia National Agrarian University and domestic and international educational institutions, research organizations, and their academic communities.
