Agricultural microbiology in Ukraine: achievements, problems, prospects

Abstract

The purpose. To systematize achievements of microbiologists of Ukraine who carry out researches in agrarian science, and to analyze problems and prospects the science. Methods. Analysis, synthesis, generalization. Results. Basic achievements of Ukrainian microbiologists are resulted in the following spheres: creation of modern microbial specimens for optimization of root nutrition of cultivated plants; determination of physiologically expedient doses of fertilizers in techniques of growing crops at observance of criteria of biological diagnostics; increase of coefficients of assimilation by plants of acting substance from fertilizers at use of biological products; protection of plants against pathogenic funguses, bacteria, viruses and insects; optimization of processes of haying, silage making, conservation of wet flaked grains of corn. Problems demanding solution are contoured. Conclusions. Development of microbiologists have great value for implementation of potential of agrarian production and martempering ecological situation in agrocenosis, which need observance of principles of the integrated system of protection of plants, with expansion of use of biomethod. Creation of seed grain improved from viruses is of vital importance for implementation of potential of productivity of agrocenosis, as well as application of probiotics created by Ukrainian microbiologists in processes of preparation of feedstuffs. All that provides growth of quality, inactivation of mycotoxins, warns aerobic spoilage of the tinned feedstuffs.
