AGROECOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE FORMATION OF GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT, AND PRODUCTIVITY OF ORGANIC MAIZE USING A MYCORRHIZA-FORMING BIOPREPARATION UNDER SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS

Abstract

The concept of sustainable development in ecological agriculture is based on the integration of economic, environmental and social aspects that contribute to the long-term functioning of agro-ecosystems without environmental degradation. It is focused on the rational use of soil and water resources, the preservation of biological diversity and the maintenance of ecological stability, which guarantees food security for current and future generations. The article is devoted to organic production, which is a key direction of the greening of agricultural production, which involves reducing the chemical load on the environment and preserving natural resources. The transition to sustainable agricultural methods contributes to improving the quality of products, reducing pollution and ensuring harmony between economic and environmental factors. In our opinion, an important issue in growing such a strategic crop as corn is a broader study of the characteristics of plant growth and development, as well as the formation of their productivity depending on biological fertilizers and mycorrhizal-forming biological product, which is being studied for the first time in this region, has high scientific value, relevance and production feasibility. Practical significance of the results obtained: optimal parameters and patterns of growth, development and formation of corn productivity under the influence of agrotechnical measures have been identified. The relationship between them and ways to regulate their parameters using cultivation methods have been established. The ecological balance of technological methods for growing organic corn and the preservation of soil resources has been characterized. To obtain high and stable yields (11 t/ha) when using environmentally balanced methods of growing the DS0479B (Dow Seeds) FAO 250 corn hybrid with high economic indicators in the conditions of the Yasenivka-2005 farm in the Khmelnytskyi district of the Khmelnytskyi region on typical chernozem soils, it is necessary to apply seed treatment with the mycorrhizal-forming biological preparation Mycofriend on the background of NPK 20:10:20 fertilizers.
