Annotation. Today, the transition to organic farming is a reliable and environmentally friendly way to increase soil fertility and reduce its pollution with toxic elements (mobile forms of heavy metals). The paper presents the results of assessing the mass concentration of heavy metals in livestock waste (semi-rotted cattle manure) and chemical industry (phosphogypsum), as well as in composts obtained from these wastes. The results of field tests of different rates of compost application (from 20 to 60 t/ha) composed of semi-rotted cattle manure, phosphogypsum and alfalfa plant residues are presented. The organomineral fertilizer increases the concentration of organic matter in the upper layer of leached chernozem in the corn agrocenosis. This promotes increased sorption of the organomineral complex of the soil and a decrease in the mass fraction of some heavy metals (HM). The use of compost in rates of 40 and 60 t/ha helps to reduce the mass concentration of zinc, copper and manganese. Exceeding the permissible concentration of highly toxic and hazardous HM for humans was not detected in any variant of the field experiment.

Keywords: leached chernozem, soil fertility, semi-rotted cattle manure, phosphogypsum, alfalfa straw, compost, agrocenosis, heavy metals

Annotation. The effect of liquid complex phosphorus-containing fertilizers (LCF) on germination energy, emergence and initial drought resistance of spring wheat of the variety Grenada was studied in laboratory conditions under simulated water deficit created using a 3 % solution of PEG 6000. It was found that seed treatment with LCF, especially with the Strada R preparation with a high phosphorus content, promotes the development of the root system and improves the root-shoot ratio. Variants with microelement fertilizers without a pronounced phosphorus component demonstrated lower adaptability, despite the stabilizing effect against the background of stress. The results confirm the promise of using phosphorus-containing LCF in pre-sowing seed preparation to increase their drought resistance.

Keywords: wheat, liquid phosphorus-containing complex fertilizers, seed treatment, drought resistance, Strada R, Micromak, Ekomak

Annotation. In recent decades, the scale of negative anthropogenic impact on natural ecosystems has increased significantly affecting their functioning and the Earth's biosphere as a whole. The Republic of Adygea is located in the Caucasus with an extremely diverse and unique flora. Violations occurring in natural landscapes lead to a reduction in biological diversity. The population approach has been widely used to assess it for conservation purposes. The population, as an elementary biosphere unit of life, is the first acceptor, perceiving the entire diversity of external impacts on the vegetation cover. This is especially important for rare plant species that require protection. Populations of three Red Book species were selected as objects of study: Cephalanthera longifolia, C. rubra and Platanthera chlorantha. Cenopopulation studies are the biological basis for developing methods for the rational use of plant resources and their protection.

Annotation. Thirteen varieties of hulled oats of the steppe ecological group from the collection nursery of the Krasnoyarsk Research Institute of Agriculture were studied in terms of yield, large grain size, vegetation period, ecological stability and plasticity of these parameters. All key data were statistically processed using an analogue of the Tukey LSD test. Certain patterns characterizing the ecological plasticity and stability of varietal parameters were revealed. The yield and vegetation period were noted at the standard level. Stability in high-yielding and large-grain samples, as a rule, is higher than the standard. The sample showed good large grain size, statistically significantly higher than the standard. Plasticity in large grain size was noted in half of the varieties, in terms of stability (PUSS), all 13 studied samples were higher than the standard. The most productive variety Pegas showed plasticity of 3 % in grain size and stability of 297 % compared to the standard. The average plasticity of the sample (1.00) is slightly lower than the standard, in terms of stability the sample corresponds to the standard (the average sample indicator is slightly lower - 396.99). The plasticity of vegetation is maximum in the lowest- 1), which is 87 % of the standard), the stability indicator PUSS 20784.84 (185 % of the standard). It is shown that varieties with environmental stability at the level of the standard or higher demonstrate good productivity, large grain).

Annotation. For ten years, a pure culture of the Aspergillus niger F-4815D strain has been studied as a destructor of toxic phosphorus compounds. To improve the efficiency of biodegradation and expand the spectrum of degradable pollutants, it is advisable to use consortia of various microorganisms, such as fungi with bacteria. Such a consortium can serve as the basis for industrial preparations for cleaning pollutants. To create consortia, it is necessary to correctly select microorganisms in order to avoid antagonism. Therefore, the study of the antagonism of microbial cultures is an interesting research topic that is relevant in sanitation, veterinary science, medicine, plant growing, allowing us to find organisms and compounds with antimicrobial, fungicidal or bactericidal action. This paper presents the results of a practical study of the antagonism of Aspergillus niger F-4815D and six types of bacteria. It was shown that the most powerful inhibition of Aspergillus growth was caused by the endotoxin producer Bacillus thuringiensis (5V) and fluorescent Pseudomonas synxantha (R39), the least by Staphylococcus warneri (2), which, together with the other bacteria, is suitable for creating an experimental consortium. It should be noted, however, that none of the bacterial cultures studied stimulated Aspergillus growth, and antagonism of varying degrees was observed in all six cases.

Annotation. Greisenized granites are formed as a result of granite alteration under the influence of gases and solutions, turning into specific rocks called greisens. Greisens contain inclusions of many valuable minerals and are of industrial importance as ore bodies. Greisenized granites are of great interest for biogeochemical studies. The levels of beryllium content in soils and plants on greisenized granites of the Russian Far East with rare metal beryllium mineralization have been established. The distribution of beryllium by genetic horizons of the soil and the mechanisms of beryllium migration and accumulation have been determined. An assessment of the beryllium content in plants has been carried out, which showed an excess of clarke and uneven accumulation depending on the plant species. An assumption has been made about the possibility of using litho- and biogeochemical methods of beryllium ores exploration.

Annotation. The performance indicators of the mining region in order to reduce environmental damage and increase the efficiency of natural resources use can be improved by using environmental technologies in the disposal of mining and ore processing tailings. The following methods were used: generalization and analysis, theoretical research, modeling, experiment, data processing with analysis. According to the obtained results the data on soil pollution in the mining region with non-ferrous metals are systematized. The mechanism of soil dilution and restoration is detailed. It is shown that the storage of mining waste takes land out of circulation and reduces the quality of adjacent lands. The tool for returning land to circulation is technological processing with waste utilization in activators. The results of vegetation experiments are presented. A method for determining the efficiency of land allotment use is proposed. Information is given on new technologies for the rehabilitation of mining and processing tailings. It is proven that the rehabilitation of land contaminated by waste improves the environmental and economic indicators of the North Caucasus region. The results of the study may be in demand in the development of deposits of technologically open metal ores, in the modernization of existing and planned new enterprises, as well as in the implementation of programs for the restoration of the potential of lands withdrawn from circulation and allocated to mining enterprises.

Annotation. The paper presents data from modern domestic and foreign studies devoted to the problem of soil pollution with heavy metals in natural-technical systems and the assessment of the impact of soil pollution with heavy metals on human and plant health, soil fertility, and microbiological activity. The sources of pollution are identified. A systematic review was used for the analysis. The research results show that the extraction of mineral resources and the operation of metallurgical enterprises contribute to the release of Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd into the environment. The sources of V, Ti, and Mn in the soil are mainly processes associated with oil and coal processing. Automobile exhaust gases, ceramics and steel production lead to the accumulation of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in the soil. Agriculture, in turn, contributes to soil pollution with the same metals, as well as Cr and Ni. In addition to anthropogenic factors, natural processes also affect the content of Al, Zn, Mn, Pb, Ni, Cu, and Hg in the soil. The work identifies the key consequences of heavy metal pollution of soil, the impact on vegetation and human health.

Annotation. The paper presents the results of determining the gross concentrations of heavy metals in the soil cover of the recreational area of the city of Vladimir, which was subjected to radical cutting and repair work. A comparison of the obtained indicators with maximum permissible concentrations is carried out. The accumulation coefficients of heavy metals are calculated and priority pollutants with the highest accumulation coefficients are identified. Using the calculation of the total accumulation indicator, the territory of the recreational area is differentiated by the degree of danger. The enzymatic activity of the soils is reduced due to the ecological state of the soil biosystem of the urban soil. The primary urban plants in the park are Plantago major, Taraxacum officinale, Tussilago farfara, Urtica dioica, Arctium minus. The main pollutants of the park are Ni, Pb and Zn, the content of which is above the MAC and APC levels. The pollution level of the anthropogenic territory of urban soils of the park according to the total chemical pollution indicator is low.

Открыть реферат статьи
Annotation. As a result of mechanical recycling of used PET bottles, the yield of finished secondary raw materials, PET flakes, is always significantly less than 100 %. The amount of PET flakes after crushing, washing, drying and sorting depends not only on the efficiency of the mechanical recycling line itself, but also on the quality of the incoming flow of PET bottles. Any, at first glance, homogeneous flow of PET bottles arriving at recycling plants contains third-party materials (not PET) and contaminants, however, depending on the adopted system of collection and allocation of secondary resources and the source of formation, the content of contaminants and third-party materials may vary. This paper presents an assessment of the PET content in post-consumer packaging waste in three different flows received for recycling or potentially suitable for recycling: a) in the flow of secondary resources collected in net containers, b) in the flow of secondary resources recovered during sorting of municipal solid waste, and c) in the flow of secondary resources recovered from excavated waste. The total mass fraction of external contaminants in the composition of different PET bottles varies from 0 to 32.5 %, and the share of internal contaminants varies from 7.5 to 47.5 %. In addition, non-PET elements of a PET bottle as finished packaging make up another 10 to 20 % by weight depending on the bottle volume and its intended use. Thus, non-PET materials make up 22 to 48 % by weight of the recycled PET bottle flow and, accordingly, are removed from the flow during recycling. As a result, with mechanical recycling of PET bottles, the yield of finished PET flakes usually does not exceed 70–75 %.

Annotation. Intensive nitrification, enriching the soil with mineral nitrogen compounds, indicates optimal soil fertility and largely depends on the genetic characteristics of crop hybrids and the level of soil fertilization. The field experiment was laid down in a grain-beet crop rotation under the conditions of the Central Black Earth Region. Variants with the introduction of different rates of mineral fertilizers and manure were studied; the variant without fertilizers served as a control. The greatest influence of fertilizers on the nitrification value during soil sampling before sowing was manifested in the 0–20 cm layer when using the rate of N135P135K135 + 25 t/ha of manure. In the middle of the growing season, the value of the indicator in the crops of the RMS 121 hybrid was higher than in the other studied hybrids by 10.2–45.2 %. Seasonal dynamics of nitrification capacity was manifested in a minimal decrease in the RMS 121 crop; the yield of this hybrid was most closely related to the value of the indicator. To ensure the highest level of nitrification nitrogen content and root crop yield, it is necessary to apply mineral fertilizers under the RMS 127 hybrid together with 25 t/ha of manure after fallow, N120P120K120 + 50 t/ha manure in fallow, and N190P190K190 without manure; RMS 120 - N135P135K135 under sugar beet + 25 t/ha manure in fallow and N120P120K120 + 50 t/ha manure in fallow, RMS 121 - N120P120K120 + 50 t/ha manure after fallow.
