Issue №: 4 (43)
The issue of the magazine is devoted to topical issues of improving technologies for growing agricultural crops and managing forestry in conditions of climate change. Considerable attention is paid to the peculiarities of growing corn, soybeans, winter rapeseed, potatoes, eggplant and winter wheat, which play an important role in ensuring the food security of the state. Scientific publications present the results of research on the economic efficiency of corn and soybean cultivation technologies, the formation of rapeseed productivity using different fractions of seeds and foliar fertilization, the influence of fertilization systems, biopreparations and bioprotection on the yield and phytosanitary status of crops, optimization of soil cultivation, protection of plants from harmful organisms, evaluation of hybrids and varieties for economically valuable traits. Separate works are devoted to the structure of fodder lands, landscape felling, forest resources, the use of biological preparations in the cultivation of pine planting material, and the sanitary condition of stands.
FOREST RESOURCES OF THE TULCHYN FORESTRY UNIT AND SPECIFICS OF THEIR USING
Neyko Ihor Stepanovych, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Senior Researcher, Senior Researcher, Deputy Director. State Enterprise "Vinytsia Forest Research Station" (39 Pravednykyv Svitu St., Vinnytsia, Ukraine, 21036; e-mail: ihor_neyko@ukr.net; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4473-540X).
This scientific article presents information regarding the status and structure of the forest fund managed by the Tulchyn Forestry Enterprise, as well as the specifics of its forest resource utilization. The enterprise’s forest lands are located in the central-southern part of the Vinnytsia region. The study examines the distribution of forests by category and assesses timber stocks – specifically those harvested during final felling (harvesting for timber production) as well as silvicultural operations (forest tending and improvement measures). The research indicates that the total area of the forestry enterprise currently stands at 8,850.6 hectares. Approximately one-third of this area (30,534.1 hectares) consists of commercial (exploitable) forests. In recent years, the enterprise has harvested an average of approximately 95,000 cubic meters of timber annually. Of this, 67,500 cubic meters consisted of industrial timber (roundwood), representing a significant share (71.5%). During the previous revision period, the allowable annual cut (AAC) was approximately 77,400 cubic meters, with an utilization rate of 92.3%. This high rate is attributed to unscheduled sanitary felling carried out in spruce stands due to their deteriorating condition and widespread dieback. Timber harvested during final felling and silvicultural operations is primarily extracted in the form of roundwood. A combined method is predominantly used for intermediate (tending) felling. The total volume of standing deadwood is estimated at approximately 56,000 cubic meters. The area subjected to sanitary felling was insignificant, amounting to only 9.6 hectares. An analysis of the condition and structure of the forest resources within the Tulchyn Forestry Enterprise indicates a high standard of forest management. This is evidenced by the high efficiency of forest stand cultivation and the accumulation of substantial reserves of commercial timber; a low proportion of forests exhibiting significant dieback or degradation; a high rate of utilization of the allowable annual cut; and significant volumes of silvicultural thinning (tending felling) carried out.
