Formation and development of fodder production in Ukraine

Abstract

The purpose. To highlight the formation and development of the scientific support of feed production industry in Ukraine, contribution of the Institute of Feeds and Agriculture of Podillia of NAAS to the development of feed production as a science, to generalize the main scientific achievements. Methods. On the basis of materials from periodicals and monographs, the formation and development of feed production as a science was analyzed. To solve the problem, general research methods (analysis, synthesis) and historical methods (problem-chronological) were used. Results. The development of scientific support of feed production industry in Ukraine was displayed through the prism of researches on these issues. The main achievements of the Institute of Feeds and Agriculture of Podillia of NAAS in the development of scientific approaches to feed production were analyzed. Conclusions. Further development of the feed production industry as a science should be based on innovative principles under improvement of the optimal structure of areas under forage and grain crops; enhancement of the breeding research in the direction of increasing the adaptive capacity of new varieties to adverse environmental factors and developing modern competitive varieties of cultivation technologies; development of new and improvement of current intensive technologies for the cultivation of perennial grasses, maize for silage and grain, legume-grain crops and soybean; improvement of integrated plant protection; biologization of technological processes of growing forage crops in specific natural and climatic zones under effective eco-friendly use of soil fertility, improvement of the technologies of harvesting, storage and utilization of feeds and monitoring of feedstock and feed quality.

Вплив Строків Посіву На Продуктивність Стоколосу Безостого В Умовах Лісостепу України

“…Hayfields are in the structure of natural fodder lands of Ukraine. These are farm lands that are systematically used for hay harvesting, pasture and for grazing animals, as well as other land plots suitable for cattle grazing [19,21]. "For as the earth bringeth forth her bud" [1,Is.…”

“…Over the years of transformation of the agricultural sector, the area of hayfields in Ukraine has decreased by 1.5 times, and at agricultural enterprisesby almost 11 times. 91 % of fodder products are concentrated on private farms [19].…”

Effect of the cultivation of legumes on the dynamics of sod-podzolic soil fertility rate

“…Perennial legumes are one of the factors, which enable to stabilize the processes occurring in the soil-plant-animal-human system. A large phytomeliorative role of perennial legumes on the arable land, the optimal ratio of plowed land, hayfields and pastures will contribute to the elimination of destructive processes that occur in agricultural landscapes, reduce erosion and increase soil fertility and crop yields (Petrichenko, 2010;. It should be noted that perennial legumes improve the fertility of soil, protect it from wind and water erosion, leave dry roots and nutrient residues in the soil (from 40 to 100-120 kg/ha).…”

Efficiency of fertilization when soybean growing under conditions of the South-Eastern Steppe of Ukraine

“…Аналіз літературних джерел, постановка проблеми. Інтерес фахівців до культури сої в Україні зростає, оскільки завдяки їй успішно розв'язується проблема білка, олії в багатьох вітчизняних сільськогосподарських підприємствах, зміцнюється економіка [3][4][5]. В Україні соя культивувалась і раніше, для її вирощування є сприятливі регіони.…”
