Rapeseed is one of the most important energy and food crops. The European agricultural producers are highly interested in it due to the obligations under the EU Directive for replacing the fossil fuels with biofuels as much as 20% by 2020, which has drawn the purchase prices considerably up. Rapeseed is widely used for production of cooking oil and rich in protein feed too. As regards to the environment, it contributes for restoration of degraded and contaminated lands owing to its capability for improving soil structure and leaving the area free of weeds. Rapeseed is one of the best pre-crops of winter wheat and contributes for some 20-30% increase of its yield. The paper contains an overview of different aspects of rapeseed growing: its biological requirements and the abiotic stressing factors in the Balkan geographic region; its sensibility to water and the impact of the water deficit on the yield and yield structural components; its yearly and monthly evapotranspiration and crop coefficients at different empirical evapotranspiration calculation methods; world data on its yields and the agricultural practices such as proper irrigation scheduling for its yield increase. The conclusions show that the soil and the climatic conditions on the Balkans are suitable for rapeseed growing and irrigation can contribute for obtaining sustainable yields from this crop.

The study was carried out in а raspberry plantation (2013-2015) in the experimental field of the Institute of Agriculture – Kyustendil. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of organic fertilizer application on the stock larvae of Agrilus aurichalceus and population management, using biological plant protection products. According to the results of this study, it has been proved that fertilizing with organic fertilizers has a reductive effect on the survival of the A. aurichalceus population and does not affect the population of the larval endoparasitoid Ttrastichus heeringi in the cultivars Willamette and Lyulin . The relationships between A. aurichalceus and T. heeringi in the conditions of organic raspberry production have been studied. The established degree of parasitism of the larvae by T. heeringi (32.7-68.4%) is capable of reducing and controlling the population of A. aurichalceus in the Willamette without chemical control. Two treatments with bioinsecticides have been carried out for the protection of plants from cultivar Lyulin due to a significantly lower degree of parasitism (18.1-50.0%). The most effective insecticides to the control of adults of A. aurichalceus have been identified: Pyrethrum FS EC-0.05% and NeemAzal®-T/S - 0.3 %. The adult control scheme involves two treatments with bioinsecticides of infested shrubs.

本研究于2013-2015年在Kyustendil农业研究所试验田的覆盆子人工林进行。本研究旨在探讨有机肥施用量对黑穗螟存量幼虫的影响,并利用生物植保产品对黑穗螟种群进行管理。本研究结果表明,施用有机肥会降低黄斑蝽种群的存活率,而不会影响Willamette和Lyulin两个品种的幼虫内生寄生蜂的种群数量。研究了有机覆盆子生产条件下黑穗病螨与黑穗病螨的关系。在不进行化学防治的情况下,确定的黄颡鱼幼虫寄生度(32.7 ~ 68.4%)能够减少和控制威拉米特地区的耳纹姬蝇种群。由于柳林的寄生率较低(18.1 ~ 50.0%),因此采用两种生物杀虫剂对其进行了保护。结果表明,除虫除虫菊酯FS EC-0.05%和NeemAzal®- t /S - 0.3%是对木耳库蚊成虫最有效的药剂。成虫防治方案包括对受感染灌木使用生物杀虫剂进行两种处理。第一次处理应在钮扣期间进行,第二次处理应在甲虫大量飞行期间进行(仅在

The main goal of the experiment was to study the possibility for biological control of apple scab by use of innovative biofungicide Vacciplant (a.m. Laminarin) and to compare the results of biological control with those from standard chemical control of this disease. Experiment was conducted during the 2016 in region of Prespa and region of Tetovo, on two apple varieties, idared and golden delicious. In untreated variant in region of Tetovo, was observed very high level of infection (77.21% on the leaves and 24.35% on the fruits), which demonstrated the destructive potential of this apple disease in our country. In region of Prespa, significantly lower level of infection was observed in untreated variant (30% on the leaves and 9.5% on the fruits). Regarding the efficacy of tested fungicides, in region of Tetovo, standard fungicide Merpan (a.m. captan) used in chemical variant provided considerably lower degree of efficacy on leaves and fruits (71.38% and 60.86% respectively), compared with biofungicide used in biological variant (95.13% and 94.78% respectively). In region of Prespa, the efficacy performance of standard fungicides on the leaves and fruits (98.33% and 100% respectively) was almost equal with the performance of biofungicide (99.16% and 100%).

Organic agriculture is capable to contribute to the production of healthier food. Organically produced cereals, such as spelt, represent the potential source of quality and healthy components for human food. Spelt wheat is one of the husked hexaploid wheat grown for centuries within a low-input technology. The nutritive value of spelt is high and it contains all the basic components which are necessary for human nutrition. Spelt is high in digestible proteins, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Differences may occur due to the growing place and season, cultivation, fertilizers etc. The content of nutritionally important minerals (Fe, Mg, Zn, Ca, Mn) and some antioxidants were analyzed in spelt wheat grown during four different seasons and in semiarid conditions. The spelt wheat was organically grown in the period 2012-2015, at Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje. The crop was sown on the area of 0.33 ha and after harvesting, grain yield was measured from all production area and calculated with 14% of moisture. Then, grains were milled and content of nutrients Mg, Fe, Mn, Ca and Zn, as well as inorganic phosphorus (Pi), phytic phosphorus (P phy ), phenolics, β-carotene and glutathione (GSH), were determined in grains. Obtained data were processed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and differences with p <0.05 were considered as significant. Among growing seasons, the highest spelt yield was observed in 2012 (4200 kg ha -1 ). The variations in content of minerals and antioxidants followed variations in sum of precipitation, as well as average air temperature. The content of Mg was significantly higher in 2015, while the Ca content was lower. Concentration of Zn and Mn continuously decreased from 2012 to 2015. The highest content of almost all investigated antioxidants was observed mostly in 2013. GSH and β-carotene content variations were also affected by the meteorological conditions of the growing season.
有机农业有助于生产更健康的食品。有机生产的谷物,如斯佩尔特,代表了人类食品质量和健康成分的潜在来源。斯佩尔特小麦是一种脱壳的六倍体小麦,在低投入的技术下种植了几个世纪。斯佩尔特的营养价值很高,它含有人体营养所必需的所有基本成分。斯佩尔特富含可消化的蛋白质、维生素、矿物质和抗氧化剂。由于种植地点和季节、栽培、肥料等原因,可能会出现差异。对不同季节和半干旱条件下生长的小麦进行了营养重要矿物质(铁、镁、锌、钙、锰)和抗氧化剂含量的分析。小麦是在2012-2015年期间有机种植的,由玉米研究所Zemun Polje种植。作物播种面积0.33 ha,收获后在所有产区测量粮食产量,在14%的水分条件下计算粮食产量。然后对籽粒进行碾磨,测定籽粒中营养物质Mg、Fe、Mn、Ca、Zn以及无机磷、植磷、酚类物质、β-胡萝卜素和谷胱甘肽的含量。所得数据进行方差分析(ANOVA), p <0.05为差异显著。在生长季节中,2012年的斯佩尔特产量最高(4200公斤公顷)。矿物质和抗氧化剂含量的变化随降水总量和平均气温的变化而变化。2015年Mg含量显著升高,Ca含量较低。2012 - 2015年Zn、Mn浓度持续下降。几乎所有抗氧化剂含量最高的年份均为2013年。GSH和β-胡萝卜素含量的变化也受生长季节气象条件的影响。

Agroecological zoning is done based on certain environmental characteristics, basic of which are: prevailing soil type; an extreme manifestation of certain climatic factors; altitude; relief features and other. In the presented paper were analyzed and described: weather conditions; soil resources; agronomic suitability of land for organic growing of suitable for the region crops. There were considered the potential threats of soil erosion, acidification and compaction. It was prepared land evaluation regarding the potential for growing grape and fruit, vegetable crops, meadows and pastures. It was found that the areas with altitude above 800 m are unsuitable for cultivation with fruit crops, which can be planted in areas with an altitude of 1800 m. Vegetable crops are not suitable to be cultivated in areas with altitude above 800 m are with the exception of late potatoes which may be planted in places with an altitude of 1800 m. It was found that the areas with altitude above 800 m are unsuitable for growing vines. The territories with altitude above 2400m are unusable for grassland.
