 The holistic picture of functioning of soil microflora in the agrolandscape is under consideration. The state of microbial complexes and chemical characteristics of soils during the annual plowing of stubble plant residues, as well as during their burning, is compared. Studies were conducted on ordinary chernozem in the conditions of the Leningrad region of the Krasnodar territory. The negative effect of burning stubble residues on soil properties was noteed. This was manifested in a decrease in the content of humus and nitrogen in the soil, an increase in a number of heavy metals (zinc, lead, cadmium and cobalt) in the arable layer. The difference in options (nonburned and burned areas) in the ratio of microorganisms in microbocenoses was revealed. Thus, as a result of the annual burning of stubble dominant forms of microorganisms in the microbial community are redistributed, most stable bacterial populations are developed and proportion of soil fungi is reduced with the emergence of new thermotolerant species are increased.

Key words: soil, microflora, frequency of occurrence, coefficient.

 Using the method of substrate-induced respiration, the dynamics of CO2 emission for 3 days of brown forest acidic soil of a tea plantation (many years of experience with macro fertilizers, N240P70K90) was studied in comparison with the reference soil of a beech-hornbeam forest (Uch-Dere settlement, Lazarev-sky district Sochi). The heterotrophic parameter of the “health” of the soil of the tea plantation relative to the standard (forest) was calculated. Values from | 0,3 | up to | 0,39 |, showed a change in biodiversity and the ratio of functionally active populations of soil microbocenosis under the influence of tea cultivation (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze). According to the existing gradation, the soil was rated as "moderately not healthy."

Keywords: acid brown forest soils, tea plantation, the "health" of soil, microbiocenosis, CO2 emissions, substrate-induced respiration of soils, in the humid subtropics of Russia.

 This article summarizes the results of studies on the content of mobile phosphorus in the soils of forest strips studied economy "Precepts of Ilyich" Leningrad region, Krasnodar region. The main inputs of phosphorus into the soil of crop rotation fields are due to mineral fertilizers, while phosphorus in the soils of forest belts and natural lands is increased by two sources; transboundary transfer due to the release of this element into the air during the works of chemical enterprises, landfills, incineration of garbage as well as due to its receipt from the exchange Fund of underlying rocks during its removal by plant roots from the lower layers of the soil. The supply of phosphorus from both sources is relatively small compared to fertilizer inputs. Nevertheless, the uniformity of the average indices of its compounds can be seen in large areas. According to the results of monitoring studies, it can be noted that in soil samples of crop rotation fields, the phosphorus content, both within individual seasons and on average over the years, was lower than in the soils of forest strips by 10-15% with relatively low standard error and coefficient of variation. We determined the content of phosphorus in the soils of forest belts, where phosphorus fertilizers have not been introduced for a long time and their receipt is possible only due to weathering from the fields of crop rotation and their introduction into forest belts, as well as cross-border transfer from chemical enterprises of the Rostov region, which borders the Leningrad region studied by us. More stable and stable levels of phosphorus in the soils of forest strips, in particular, are the result of its higher total content, less pronounced alienation from the crop, as well as higher and stable moisture compared to field conditions. Taking into account the close proximity of fields and forest belts, on the one hand, and the influence of South-West wind flows in summer and South-East in spring, on the other hand, causing the transfer of soil particles from arable land to the forest strip and from the forest strip of the litter, fruits, leaves to the arable land. The obtained data can characterize the entire territory of the farm by the content of mobile phosphorus, and the generalized version for all zones characterizes fairly objectively the entire agricultural landscape by the concentration of the element in the upper layer of the soil. In the soils of the forest belts around 20-30% lower for non-combustion area field crop rotation than to burn.

Key words: soils, content, forest strips, mobile phosphorus, agricultural landscape, crop rotation, fertilizers.

 The studies were carried out in four forests of the Sochi region in stands with 8–9 hornbeam units at stages IV–V of recreational digression. It has been established that in the suburban forests the proportion of weakened stands is statistically significantly in the range of 51,6–75,3 %. It was determined that during stage IV digression in a very clean and clean air environment, only the recreational factor (46 %) affects the stand. In relatively and moderately polluted environments, the influence of the recreational factor decreases to 36 %, with increasing exposure (up to 43 %) of the air. At stage V, the state of the stand depends on 25–85 % of the degree of environmental pollution and 11–30 % of the recreational factor.
Key words: Sochi region, recreation, air pollution, forest stand, digression.

 Issues of creating agricultural technologies for organic farming are relevant and promising for the Kuban. Therefore, the preparation of composts based on various organic and mineral waste is proposed by us. The revival of composting on an industrial scale is an important solution to the problem of not only recycling wastes, but also increasing soil fertility. The results of studies aimed at finding the optimal ratio of halfrotten cattle manure and phosphogypsum as part of complex compost are presented in the article. Three different composts, differing in the proportion of phosphogypsum in their composition, are presented. The slower mineralization of organic carbon, the active conservation of nitrogen in the ammonium form, the accumulation of phosphates and the optimal medium reaction are noted in composts during composting of these wastes. Composts were characterized by loose composition, fine-grained, low density and high porosity.

Key words: complex compost, cattle manure, phosphogypsum, composting, organic carbon, total and ammonia nitrogen, medium reaction, density, moisture, mature compost.

 The biodegradation of white phosphorus is undoubtedly an amazing illustration of the adaptability of living organisms to adverse environmental factors. In addition, it is a potential basis for the creation of new, breakthrough methods for detoxifying substances of the first class danger. However, establishing the fact of biological destruction is only half the battle. It is essential to optimize the growth conditions of microbial cultures and P4 biodegradation for industrial cultivation. The presented study compared the growth of Aspergillus niger strain AM1 in culture media varying in composition but containing P4 as the sole source of phosphorus. Of the ten media, two in which Aspergillus grew the fastest were selected. These media were concluded to be optimal for growth. Comparing the compositions of the media and the growth rate of Aspergillus in them, we found a key component that is a favorable factor for the growth of AM1 and the biodegradation of white phosphorus. This component was sodium nitrate (NaNO3). It has also been shown that copper sulphate (CuSO4) has NO effect on the growth of Aspergillus in media with white phosphorus, regardless of the composition of these media. This result is in harmony with our previous findings. Furthermore, in the present work, attempts to increase the concentration of white phosphorus in the culture medium to values above 1 % are described for the first time. For this purpose, we added the following solvents to the culture media: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and diesel, in which white phosphorus dissolves relatively well. Apparently, the presence of these substances adversely affects the growth of Aspergill. Therefore, the problem of further increasing the concentration of P4 remains an unanswered.

Key words: white phosphorus, Aspergillus niger, culture mediums, growth factors.

 Extinguishing of fires and fires of forests. Forest on highly radioactive areas of the Chornobyl NPP in 1986. controlled by information from constantly barracing helicopters fixing the foci of smoke and forest fires. Large forest fires in the zone of Chernobyl are thrown out to a height of up to 1.5km of smoke, containing a multitude of particles, transuranium elements that enter the human body causing cancer. "Green Peace" recorded microparticles of transuranas in the EU and Turkey. Therefore, it is important to use information technologies: geographic systems and satellites for probing the Chernobyl zone, raions in the regions of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. This will potentially create the best organization for extinguishing forests and depositing radioactive smoke. The traditional extinguishing technique is low-effective, long extinguishes with high costs of environmentally harmful foaming agents and solutions. Success and time of extinguishing are unpredictable, making inefficient extinguishing control over information technology. New technique are described, provide security for firefighters, environmentally safe, quick quenching of natural materials and nontoxic extinguishing compounds by small masses. The analysis of the results of application of pilot samples of the new technology of universal spraying and quenching is given: aviation containers, multi-barrel modules on the tank chassis, manual fire extinguishers. They first demonstrated effective quenching with natural water, sand, soil, dust from distances up to 20–25 m. relatively safe when extinguishing grassland fires, burning bushes and individual trees.

Key words: pulse forest fire–fighting technology, conjugated problems of radioactive smoke out of |Chernobyl area, extinguishing multiphase reacting media, shock wave, combustion, experiment.

 Water is an essential component of the living environment of all living organisms, so the environmental safety of drinking water for animals has a significant impact on their productivity. The article is devoted to the problems of improving the health and productivity of young farm animals in agricultural enterprises of a number of Belarusian farms. Water samples were taken at different seasons of the year, twice a day, and examined by physicochemical parameters and the degree of bacterial contamination. For a complete laboratory analysis, water was taken in a volume of 5 l from a bucket, drinking bowl and from a water supply system inside the livestock building. It was established that the quality of water for drinking animals does not always meet hygienic standards and requirements in terms of iron, ammonia, ammonium salts, and transparency, especially in the Vitebsk region. These deviations are most frequent in the summerautumn period. Exceeding the standards for colititer, especially in summer, was also noted. The authors consider the reason for the decrease in water quality to be poor quality maintenance of the watering equipment, in particular, failure to comply with the timing of disinfection.

Key words: drinking water quality, transparency, chemical composition, coli-titer, hygiene standards, animal watering, young cattle, agricultural enterprises of Belarus.

 Variants of litter material that is necessary for outdoor bird growing for moisture absorption and floor insulation are considered in the article. Litter material together with manure should not create environmental hazards and can be used as fertilizer in the absence of toxicity. As a means for sanitizing the floor, a special preparation “Ultra-Sorb” is proposed. This preparation creates a favorable microclimate in aviary, reduces the humidity of the air and litter, the level of microbial and gas pollution; possesses bactericidal, fungicidal actions, inhibiting the development of pathogens. In general, the sanitary and hygienic conditions of poultry are being improved. The remedy consists of 80% natural ingredients and only 2% falls on chloromorin B. It is proposed to use the drug in the presence of animals 2 times a week. Given the possibility of eating litter, the product was tested for toxicity using biotests on rabbits and mice, as well as using freshwater ciliates according to the feed biotesting scheme. The benignity of turkey meat after using the product was also determined. The results of the study showed the absence of toxicity with the drug and the preservation of the biological value and safety of poultry meat. The quality of the poultry meat of the experimental group was higher than that of the poultry control. Litter of birds using the developed product can be applied to the soil without restrictions.

Key words: poultry farming, turkey keeping, litter material , Ultra-Sorb, bioassay, biological value of meat, ecological safety of litter.

 Ways to increase the breeding productivity of Karakul sheep of the Karakal-Pak breed suras depending on the diet and seasonality of feeding for the breeding season in the conditions of North-Western Kyzyl Kum are given in the article. Karakul breeding is the most important agricultural sector of Karakalpakstan, so increasing the number of livestock is very important, and the breeding of Karakul sheep. The object of the research was the herds of sheep of the Kara-Kalpak type surah in the pedigree farm in the conditions of North-Western Kyzyl Kum. The results of a study of the reproductive potential of sheep showed that to increase the number of uteruses a month and a half before the planned insemination or mating events, increased feeding of the sheep and a sufficient amount of balanced and succulent green fodder are necessary. Sheep also need concentrated feed of at least 1 kg per day per head. The individual characteristics of the animals were also taken into account to determine the best insemination period. For this, a constant monitoring of the behavior of the breeding individuals of the herd was organized. Observations also showed that the period of hunting lasts for 1-2 days in sheep and is repeated after 3 weeks. Seasonality of sexual hunting is most associated with autumn and the beginning of winter. In extreme heat and extreme cold, hunting is weak.

Key words: Karakul sheep sur, mating, diet, seasonality, desert, Karakalpakstan.
