In connection with the implementation of the activities of the national projects "Science" and "Ecology", there are urgent issues of providing planting material for adapted wood types of reforestation in degraded areas of arid territories. The aim of the research is to develop promising technologies for breeding coniferous taxa for forest reclamation and landscaping, taking into account their reproductive characteristics in arid conditions.
Research objects: Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco.), Virginia juniper (Juniperus virginiana L.), M. kazatsky (J. sabina L.), Western thuja (Thuja occidentalis L.), Eastern flatwort (Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco), prickly spruce (Picea pungens Engelm f. glauca Beissn.) collections, nurseries, brooders of the Nizhnevolzhskaya station for the selection of tree species – branch of the Federal Scientific Centre of Agroecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (cadastre. № 34:36:000014:178).
Scientific research is aimed at solving theoretical and methodological issues of obtaining planting material from the adaptive generation of woody plants based on the study of their reproductive ability.
The qualitative and quantitative parameters of seed production and the influence of limiting environmental factors on the development of seeds were revealed. The features of seed reproduction of representatives of woody plants (coniferous taxa) and the technological aspects of vegetative propagation in a kennel Nizhnevolzhsky station on selection of tree species (Volgograd region, Kamyshin) and a set of activities to ensure the cultivation of standard planting material for one growing season. This important technological technique increases the yield of seedlings per unit area by 2.8 times, 87 % of seedlings reach standard sizes, and the absolutely dry weight of the seedling increases by 6 times.
The introduction of scientific developments was carried out at the production nurseries of the Nizhnevolzhskaya station for the selection of tree species. In 2019, seedlings and saplings were sold for the amount of 677,1024. 12 rubles.
Forecast proposals for the development of the facility are given – updating the production infrastructure of the station, including the reconstruction of the nursery in order to form a Fund of planting material for the reproduction and use of collections of bioresources of trees and shrubs for multi-purpose purposes.
