“…Melilotus albus was sown in soils of foraging lands using agricultural drones in early spring during high soil moisture. Honey clover is a representative of melliferous plants in the legumes family and can reach the height of 90 to 150 cm (Lavrinenko et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2019). Honey clover blossoms for quite a while, starting from mid June, lasting for 40-50 days, until mid August, and sometimes even longer.…”

“…The level of provision of bees with nectar and flower pollen depends on the presence of nectar-pollen flowers and their abundance. Dense populations of M. albus can provide production of up to 200 kg of nectar and 120 kg of flower pollen per 1 ha (Lavrinenko et al, 2019). This is important for providing bees with resources necessary for their health and activity.…”

As a result of military actions, some territories of Ukraine have suffered technogenic loading on the environment. Of special concern is disturbed agricultural soils that are significant for food safety of the country. Soils affected by military actions require control of contamination and restoration of fertility. The studies revealed the advantages of cultivating honey clover (Melilotus albus) in war-affected soils and controlling content of heavy metals in soils and corbicular pollen from honey clover cultivated in those soils. In gray forest average-loamy soils that had been affected by military actions, nitrogen content increased 6.3% thanks to cultivation of M. albus. High nitrogen content in soil improves its fertility. Cultivation of M. albus in affected soils promoted more intensive growth of the bee families, encouraging them to gather nectar more actively. As a result, this apiary produced greater amounts of honey, corbicular pollen, and bee pollen. The conducted studies revealed heightened levels of lead, cadmium, and zinc in the war-impacted agricultural land, compared with the territory beyond the impact zone. This caused increased content of heavy metals in corbicular pollen from M. albus. Contamination of corbicular pollen from M. albus manifested in excess over the allowable norms of cadmium, lead, and zinc. At the same time, the highest coefficient of transfer from soil into corbicular pollen was found for zinc. The high degree of contamination of the soil with heavy metals as a result of military action promoted a high level of ingress of lead and cadmium into the corbicular pollen, compared with the situation in clean territory. The study results expand the available data on biomonitoring of apiary products and foraging lands in contaminated areas. Analysis of the corbicular pollen and pollen can give information about the level of environmental contamination and help evaluate the ecological state of melliferous sites. Such a monitoring can be useful for decision making regarding the protection of the environment and healthcare.

There is a significant shortage of high-protein feed in all regions of Ukraine. One of the ways to solve this problem and a powerful reserve for reducing the cost of livestock production is the cultivation of perennial leguminous grasses, among which Melilotus albus deserves special attention - a valuable fodder crop that, even under extreme hydrothermal conditions, forms stable and high yields of vegetative mass, each kilogram of which contains 34-44 g of digestible protein. Today, there is insufficient scientific information about the high fodder and agrotechnical value of Melilotus albus, regarding the peculiarities of its cultivation for fodder in mixed crops with cereal crops. Photosynthetic activity of crops belongs to the main factors of formation of productivity of fodder agrophytocenoses. The aim of the research was to establish the influence of technological factors of cultivation on the photosynthetic productivity of Melilotus albus in single-species and crops compatible with cereal components. The research was conducted during 2015-2018 at the experimental fields of the Department of Fodder Production, Land Reclamation and Meteorology in the conditions of the SS NULES of Ukraine "Agronomic Research Station" on typical low-humus chernozem. It was established that under the investigated rates of mineral fertilizers and grass mixture models, the most developed photosynthetic apparatus was formed by crops with a Melilotus albus seeding rate of 16 kg/ha. As it increased, the leaf surface of fodder agrophytocenoses decreased. Before the onset of harvest maturity, the largest leaf area in the experiment was formed by binary crops of Melilotus albus with Sorghum drummondii against the background of - N60P90K90 application - 52.5 thousand m2/ha. Sowings of the indicated variant of the experiment also provided the maximum photosynthetic potential - 1279.7 thousand m2×day/ha and the maximum productivity in the experiment in terms of dry matter yield – 7.94 t/ha.
