Microgreens are a new functional food crop that can facilitate adaptation to urbanization and global climate change, and improve human health. The research was carried out in 2021 at the Department of Landscape Architecture of the Kuzbass State Agricultural Academy. The aim of the research was to study the technology of cultivation of microgreens of the Brassicaceae family on an aqueous substrate. The objects of research were the seeds of cultivated plants of the Brassicaceae family: Brassica oleracea Broccoli Group broccoli or asparagus, Fortuna, Raphanus sativus radish, Violetta, Lepidium sativum, watercress, Dansky, and Eruca versicaria, arugula, Sicily. It was revealed that microgreens can be obtained from seeds of the Brassicaceae family in 6-12 days. Such a product does not have time to accumulate harmful substances from the atmosphere in a short period of time. When growing microgreens, it is not necessary to use mineral fertilizers, pesticides and, thus, it is possible to obtain environmentally friendly, biologically useful products with low material costs. It was found that, depending on the seeds of the studied crops and their genotype, the cycle of growing microgreens lasts from 6 to 10 days after germination. Depending on the type of culture, the sprouts reached a height of 5-10 cm. The laboratory germination rate was 96-98%.
The article shows the response of barley seeds to the influence of an electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency (EMF microwave). The action of microwave EMF leads to a change in the qualitative and quantitative composition of fatty acids contained in the organs of barley seedlings. The main saturated fatty acids that make up barley seed lipids are palmitic, and among unsaturated ones are oleic and linolenic acids. The content of other higher aliphatic acids is low. The maximum changes under the influence of microwave EMF occur in the sprouts and roots of seedlings with an increase in the number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid molecule. The most important for the growth and development of leaves is saturated hexacosan fatty acid with 26 carbon atoms, for roots unsaturated aceterucic C24:1, for endospermsaturated tricocylic acid with an odd number of carbon atoms (C23:0). Synthesis of long-chain fatty acids plays an important role in cell growth. Changes in the content of such compounds affect the development of embryos, leaves, and roots. Long-chain fatty acids are involved in regulating cell size, cell division, and cell differentiation.
Nowadays one of the most important and difficult problems to be solved in crop production is the controlling of weeds. The phytosanitary situation in terms of weediness is still difficult despite the fact that over the past five years there has been a tendency to reduce sown areas and weediness of fields allocated for spring wheat and an increase in the volume of chemical treatment. The article presents the results of studies on the species composition, the number of weeds in spring wheat crops for 29 years of research in Kemerovo region. It has been established that the majority of weeds growing in spring wheat crops are spring crops (50%) -Stellariamedia L., Echinochloacrus-galli L., Setariaviridis L., Amaranthusalbus L., etc. There is a large proportion of root shoots (Convolvulus arvensis Murr., Cirsiumarvense L., Sonchusarvensis L.). The predominant type of weediness in the main areas of wheat sowing is mixed such as offset weediness. The appearance of new species of weeds such as Equisetumarvеnse L., Erigeroncanadensis L., Solanumnigrum L. has been revealed in the last 10 years. An analysis of the weediness of wheat crops showed that, despite constant chemical weeding by herbicides, the percentage of weediness of crops by ephemeral offset weeds such as flowering creeping thistle (Girsiumarvense L.) and field sow thistle (Sonchusarvensis L.) remains unchanged. The share of such weed plants as field horsetail (Equisetumarvense L.), Tatar buckwheat (Fagopyrumtataricum L.), common flax (Linariavulgaris Mill., etc.), leafy spurge (Euphorbiavirgata) had increased by 2018.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
