THE RESULTS OF STUDY MULBERRY TREE PESTS IN GEORGIA

M.I. Lobzhanidze

Abstract

Mulberry wood is injured by 30 varieties of harmful animal organisms. For their spread and negative character two representatives of wood eaters (Cossidae) from Lepidoptera order – Zeuzera pyrina L. and Cossus cossus L. have been the objects of investigation. Their larva's feeding on mulberry wood cause its shivering in the short period of time. The bioecological peculiarities of both species coincide, namely: they are met everywhere in Georgia and damage almost all fruit trees as well as a number of forest foliage trees; only the first and the second year larva's winter; the 1st year larva's winter in the heart of sprouts and the 2nd year larva's in thicker branches. They have two year generation; butterflies fly out in June and July. The effective means of struggle is to create high agritechnical background, to carry out sanitary and hygienic measures.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSISTENT APPLICATION OF HERBICIDES AGAINST WEED IN MAIZE FIELDS

I.S.Tzereteli, A.G.Agaronyan

Abstract

It is impossible to carry out an all-round struggle against all types of weeds in maize fields through separate use of antimonocotyledonous and antidicotyledonous herbicides. The desired results can be reached only in few farms during certain years. During the period of vegetation of maize, struggle against all types of weeds can be led only by consistent application of herbicides, i.e. using soil herbicides during pre-sowing or pre-germination period and non-soil herbicides during the post-germination period.

ABOUT RADIONUCLIDE CONTAMINATION OF PLANTS IN GEORGIA

M.S. Kvachantiradze, E.V. Tvalchrelidze, N.I. Gomelauri, T.T. Urushadze

Abstract

As a result of study of the Sr-90 contamination in plants all over Georgia, it was found that the maximum contamination was in 1963-1965. Subsequent increases in the Sr-90 contamination of plants were registered in 1972-1874 and after the catastrophe at the Chernobyl Atomic Power Station in 1986. At present the highest Sr-90 contamination of plants is observed in Western Georgia, particularly on the Black Sea Coast. It should, however, be noted that in the high-mountain regions of Western Georgia, potatoes and the 20 cm deep surface soil under crops are not contaminated by Sr-90. Of the perennial woody plants of these regions, deciduous plants contain Sr-90 one and a half as much again at conifers.

STIMULATORY EFFECT OF SPIRULINA (SPIRULINA PLATENSIS) ON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF YEASTS AND SOME MICROORGANISMS

D.I.Jokhadze, I.K.Khorava

Abstract

The effect of blue-green algae spirulina (Spirulina platensis) on growth and development of wine yeasts and seven different species of microorganisms has been studied. It is shown, that the definite doze of algae significantly stimulate the abovementioned processes. In case of Streptomyces violaceus the replacement of carbon, nitrogene and in particular,phosphorus by spirulina, in standard nutrient medium the development of microorgnismes proceeds more intensely rather than in the control samples. In case of replacement of the afforementioned components together with nitrate, phosphate, starch by spirulina, the development of microorganisms remains practically on the level of control. These data may be taken into consideration at the practice of yeasts and streptomycets cultivation.
