SCIENTIFIC WORK

The Department of Plant Growing was the first structural subdivision created to provide teaching of special disciplines in Sumy branch of Kharkiv ASI named after V.V. Dokuchaev. Today, the scientific work of the Department of Plant Growing is aimed at solving the problems of technological and selection support of the crop industry in the north-eastern forest-steppe and Polissya of Ukraine.

For more than 40 years at the department under the guidance of Professor Zhatov O.G., later Trotsenko V.I., Zhatova G.O. and Melnyk A.V. were prepared and defended more than 20 dissertations for the degree of candidate agricultural sciences.

The staff of the department is a participant in the development of agro-industrial complex development of Sumy region for the period: sections “Oilseeds”; “Grain crops” 2011-2015; section “Oilseeds” 2016-2020

During the last 5 years the staff of the department has completed 5 scientific topics: 0109U001732, 0110U001040; 0110U001041; 0111U004562; 0114U003284. The research results are implemented in agricultural production of Sumy, Chernihiv and Poltava regions, are used in the scientific work of NAAS institutions, as well as in the educational process in training of specialists in specialties: Agronomy, Plant Protection, Land Management and Cadastre.

Today, the main research is related to the implementation of the following research topics:

• “Biologization of winter wheat cultivation in the conditions of FE “Zernova Dolyna “of Sumy region”
• “Optimization of parameters of sunflower growing technology in terms of land placement”
• “Increasing the yield of oat crops in the North-Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine” 0116U003838
• “To develop a genotype model and improve the methodology for creating sunflower hybrids adapted to the conditions of the North-Eastern Forest-Steppe and Polissya” 0116U001506

• “Optimization of Chenopodium Quinoa Willd cultivation technology in the conditions of the North-Eastern Forest-Steppe and Polissya of Ukraine” 0118U004747
• “Studying of the peculiarities of formation of seedings of energy crops in the North-Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine” 0120U102165
• “Creation of a source material of grain and oilseeds resistant to accumulation of heavy metals” 0119U101581
• “Studying of the peculiarities of formation of yield of precocious soybeans in the North-Eastern part of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine” 0120U102163
• “Theoretical and practical bases of grain yield and quality management” 0120U102164.
