Some aspects of recycling and storage of secondary resources of grape
Статья научная
According to the National Wine Agency, grape harvesting in Georgia exceeded 231 thousand tons in 2018. Vineyards are not only growing in Kakheti and Racha-Lechkhumi regions, but in almost every area of viticulture. In the process of primary grape harvesting and wine production, up to 25% waste is generated by solid parts of the grape bunches (bunch, skin, grape seed) and emptying, which are the best raw materials for making the curing-preventive powder, extracts, syrups, concentrates, pills, granules, alcohol, wine acid, grape seed oil, grape seed flour, nutriment paints, pectin, food fiber, tannin, granulated feed-stuff, the animal nutrition silage, fertilizers, etc. for the production of many other precious products. Therefore, it is more relevant to study the optimal technologies of recycling of secondary resources of thousands of tons of grape.

Specialization of phytophages of tree crops, their development and role, population management
Статья научная
The article discusses 80% of pests found in the orchards of Tashkent and Samarkand regions, their species composition, damage to trees and their parasites, as well as their populations, which cause particularly significant damage here. The number of predatory and parasitic entomophages is a major area of study. Environmental factors have a sufficient impact on the reproduction and development of forests. Due to the high relative humidity of the air, this environment becomes unfavorable for the development of certain insect species. In the forest, on ornamental trees, there is an abundance of natural insects that cause the destruction of plants. In this case, pests are leading. A decrease in the amount of water in a tree trunk is favorable for the development of phytophages.

This article has been investigated and evaluated by studying the specification of anatomical structure of the sort samples of tomatoes. Studies have shown that anatomical indicators mainly have a great importance in learning of drought resistance, determining the origins of the different varieties, choosing of hybrid plants in selection work of the size and number of stomata, and total thickness of the leaves. Studying of anatomical characters of tomato sort samples and hybrids plants has shown that learning of the total thickness of the leaf and the size of number of stomata has a certain importance in selection of hybrid plants. It is defined that in sort samples which their cuticle layer is thick, water evaporation decreases, and they become resistible to illness. So, the sample of Volgograd 5/95, 82 and 90 in upper epidermis and the sample of 93 in lower epidermis were differed for the thickness of cuticle layer. As results of studies, it has been identified that chlorenchyma present in the sort samples predominant for differing according to the total thickness of the leaf. Moreover, studying of the leaf cells has shown that the evaporation of water is higher in the leaves which the number of stomatas is more, and the epidermis cells are few, for that reason, the leaves of Solanum pimpinellifolium L. (wild form) are in thin needle shaped in order to reduce the transpiration. Exactly for this reason, it’s recommended to use the wild form as a donor in conducting the future selection work.

Rumen Protozoa are strictly anaerobic and highly specialized ciliates and can live only in the rumen and similar habitats. These Ciliata play an important role in feed utilization and indicate the environmental impact (methane emissions and nitrogen excretion) of ruminant production. Digestion of feed in ruminants depends on the life activity of microorganisms. Without their help, ruminants could not assimilate cellulose with simple non-protein compounds. These microorganisms located in rumen decompose the organic substances in the feed and form volatile fatty acids, ammonia, amino acids, which animals use for their development and reproduction. In the rumen of domesticated cattle and sheep, rumen cilia constitute 20-50% of the total microbial biomass. Rumen Ciliata develop symbiotic relationships with their animal hosts and both symbiotic and predator-prey relationships with other members of the rumen microbiota. The lack of axenic cultures of rumen Ciliata has forced researchers to use other methods to determine the metabolism and functions of rumen Protozoa, such as comparing rumen fermentation and microbial profiles of faunal and non-ciliated cattle or sheep or using in vitro cultures.

Study of heterosis in hybridization of geographically distant gossypium varieties
Статья научная
In the study, hybridization was carried out between the local Gossypium variety and geographically distant Gossypium varieties to obtain a selection starting material. To determine the effect of heterosis, hybrids obtained from the crossing of Ganja-110 Gossypium variety with geographically distant cotton varieties were studied, F1 generation hybrids showed a positive dominance in terms of growing season. The fiber yield of F1 hybrids of Ganja-110 × Selekt hybrid combination was the dominant hereditary character. In F1, the mass of raw cotton obtained from one cocoon was close to the parent form with a larger cocoon in hybrids obtained for all combinations. F1 hybrids were superior in fiber length compared to their parent forms. In the F1 hybrid offspring, all combinations were close to the parent form with high fiber length. The individual samples collected according to the characteristic shown in F3 were higher than the parent form, and sometimes closer to the parent form with higher fiber length. The individual samples collected from the hybrid seeds studied in the experiment were quite effective.

Study of sap-sucking pests of mung bean and their control
Статья научная
Mung bean, a vital legume crop, faces significant challenges due to sap-sucking insect pests such as thrips, aphids, whiteflies, and stink bugs. These pests damage plants, causing chlorosis, leaf curling, and transmitting viral diseases. These infestations reduce yield, seed quality, and market value. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is proposed as a sustainable approach, but there is a knowledge gap regarding its effectiveness in Central Asian agroecosystems. This study aims to examine key sap-sucking pests, analyze their biological and ecological characteristics, and evaluate the effectiveness of various pest management strategies. The study tested three types of chemical pesticides against spider mites on mung bean crops at the Scientific Research Institute of Plant Genetic Resources in Tashkent region. The results showed that applying these pesticides at the specified application rates provided a biological efficacy of over 87-95% against spider mites, making them suitable for controlling spider mites on mung beans. This research aims to develop a comprehensive, sustainable pest control framework that enhances mung bean productivity while ensuring environmental safety.

An optimal variant of food used to provide the human organism with biologically active substances that is considered acceptable to every consumer is fruit and vegetable-based juice, which biological value is determined by the maximum retention of nutrients in the product during processing. As the research was related to the preparation of a pectin-rich beverage, the Palavkadu 268 variety of pumpkin, which is a melon fruit, and orange juice were used as the main components of the product. To this end, first of all, the obtained pumpkin puree was treated with enzymes, and then orange juice was added to the mass. Besides, the recipe of the product included sugar, milk powder, sourdough, and 2% liquid pectin. The finished product was made on the basis of this mixture. The effect of the types and concentrations of pectic substances on the probiotic properties of the prepared fruit and vegetable drinks was also studied. The amount of pectin in fruit juice should be taken into account when producing it because a high concentration of pectin increases the viscosity of the juice, and it becomes turbid. By regulating the amount of pectin, it is possible to increase the juice yield. The enzymes of microbial origin are the most widely used substances in the production of juice because they contribute to the expansion of the range of products and the achievement of high juice yield. As a result of our research, it can be concluded that a product with a better bifidogenic effect can be obtained when using 2% liquid pectin in the preparation of beverages.

Sugar beet root-rot illnesses caused by Rhizoctonia: pathogen diversity, pathophysiology
Статья научная
Sugar beet, a biennial root crop, is primarily grown in temperate regions and is increasingly recognized in the biofuel industry as a raw material for ethanol production. It is susceptible to over 20 fungal and 10 bacterial pathogens, which can cause severe damage to the plant and result in significant yield losses, affecting the profitability of growers. One such pathogen is Rhizoctonia spp., a soil-borne fungus that causes root and crown rot diseases and losses during storage periods. Rhizoctonia species live in the soil or on decomposing and drying sections of plants as saprophytes or weak parasites. Factors promoting the disease's development include heavy rainfall, organic-rich soil, heavy soils, high moisture content, temperatures between 35° and 40°C, and a pH of 6.0 to 8.0. Poor drainage systems in the soil also contribute to the development of the disease. Crown rot, first discovered in 1858, is one of the common and devastating diseases that affect sugar beet crops. The causative agent of this disease is Rhizoctonia solani, which can survive under soil for a long time and is particularly severe in heavy soils and soils with inadequate drainage systems.

Sustainable use of agricultural land of Khachmaz district
Статья научная
Land use, like any other natural resource, involves loads on nature and causing harm to it. Therefore, completely harmless production today is considered impossible. Because of this, goals have been identified that establish the rationality of land use. Such goals include, taking into account natural conditions and economic indicators in the corresponding territory, ensuring the interests of society as a whole, the efficiency of the production process, as well as the protection of the quality of land and its reproduction. These goals are always unchanged, and their achievement depends on the technological development of production, the economic level, and the needs of society. In this article, the agricultural suitability level of Khachmaz district land was analyzed based on the cadastral database created on the basis of GIS technologies. It was also noted the need to take a number of measures to reduce the risk of soil erosion.

Research was conducted to study the parasite fauna of sheep in the Guba-Khachmaz economic region of Azerbaijan and the species composition of pathogenic parasites causing a decrease in productivity and mortality of animals was determined. The nematode fauna of sheep in the Guba-Khachmaz economic region consisted of 22 species, the trematode fauna consisted of 4, and the cestode fauna consisted of 5 species. Among the primary blood parasites found in sheep are Anaplasma ovis, which belongs to the Rickettsiales order, and Babesia ovis, Theileria ovis, Th.recondita, which belong to the Piroplasmida order. During the study period, 4337 sheep were examined for helminths in the economic region using the complete and incomplete dissection methods. In 3560 of 4337 sheep, was noted associative invasion by nematodes, cestodes and trematodes (I.E. - 82.1%). Infection with nematodes was accompanied by weight loss and a decrease in the quality of wool in sheep, and intensive invasion with fasciola led to the death of young animals, mainly lambs. Intensive infection of sheep with monieziasis was accompanied by a decrease in appetite and milk yield, weight loss. To determine associative ınvasion of sheep with helminths and primary blood parasites, were examined peripheral blood smears and fecal samples from 3435 animals. Of 3435 samples in 1996, were found to have associative invasion with primary blood parasites and helminths (I.E.-58.1%). Mortality has been reported in lambs under 1 year of age, especially 4-5 months old, associated with primary blood parasites and helminth infections. Ectoparasitic ixodid ticks, which transmit primary blood parasites that parasitize animals in the Guba-Khachmaz economic region, are classified into 2 genera, consisting of 4 species.

Tetranychus urticae Koch biology on apple trees
Статья научная
The two-spotted spider mite ( Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a polyphagous arthropod herbivore that consumes over 1,100 plant species from 140 distinct plant families, including those producing harmful chemicals in temperate and tropical climates. It is an important pest in greenhouse and field cultivation, causing damage to various crops such as citrus, apples, grapes, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, maize, and soy. T. urticae ability to spread over agricultural fields and adapt to environmental stressors is linked to its high propensity for mutation, leading to the highest frequency of pesticide resistance among arthropods. The genetic diversity of T. urticae gathered from apple orchards throughout Poland has been studied to investigate potential correlations between molecular variations and the occurrence of resistance to METI-acaricides. Research has shown that an abundance of leaf pubescence on the abaxial leaf surface adversely affects the development of European red mite, two-spotted spider mite, and carmine spider mite. However, due to variations in leaf sizes, tree canopy, tree ages, and the existence of natural enemies, it is impossible to compare data gathered due to variations in leaf sizes, tree canopy, tree ages, and the presence of natural enemies. Pesticide treatments negatively impact fruit plantations' ecosystems, devastating biodiversity, altering the makeup and structure of arthropod populations, and promoting mass reproduction of phytophage mites by displacing certain species with others. The most extensive research has been done on the common spider mite's development of resistance to avermectin group preparations, with some studies showing resistance to multiple acaricides.

Entomological studies conducted in various regions of Azerbaijan have revealed that one of the most harmful pests of almond orchards is the Anarsia lineatella Zeller, 1839). The pest typically produces 2–3 generations during the vegetation period, while overwintering in the 2nd– 3rd larval instar within buds and bark cracks. By damaging the seed part of the fruits, the almond fruit moth causes yield losses of up to 30–40%. Observations carried out in different landscapeecological zones indicate that the pest’s development rate and reproductive capacity vary depending on the climatic conditions of the regions. Based on the conducted research, the biological features, phenology, and natural enemies of the almond fruit moth have been studied, and scientific foundations for integrated control measures have been developed. This article presents the bioecological characteristics, life cycle, and phenological stages of Anarsia lineatella Zeller in almond orchards of Azerbaijan, including the Absheron region, as well as the results of observations carried out against this pest.
