INFLUENCE OF NATURAL ZEOLITES ON SOME PROPERTIES OF SOIL

T.G. Andronikashvili, M.K. Gamisonia, M.A. Kardava

Abstract

The influence of enrichment of the subtropical moist soils of the Western Georgian mordenite-phillipsite analcimecontaining rocks on some properties of soil is researched in the presented work. It is found that they render comparatively slight impact on rising of pH level of soil solutions. However, to a great extent it influences the value of reduction-oxidation potential of the soil, increasing the portion of reduction reaction. They also lead to increasing of retaining capacities of the soil regarding such nutritional elements of mineral fertilizers, as ammonium and phosphorus. This effect is very clearly demonstrated in the system of the acidic soils (red soil, podzolic) - analcimecontaining rocks.

INFLUENCE OF DIMETHOATE ON SOME AVAILABLE NUTRIENTS OF FERTILIZED SOIL, SEED GERMINATION, GROWTH AND NUTRIENTS UPTAKE BY WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM)

A. Mohammad and A. Moheman
 

Abstract

The effect of dimethoate (O,O-dimethyl S-methylcarbamoylmethyl phosphorodithioate) on available nutrients of fertilized soil, seed germination, growth and nutrients uptake by wheat were examined and LSD at 5% calculated. The presence of dimethoate in the fertilized soil affects the availability of nutrients, seed germination, growth and nutrients uptake by wheat.The available nutrients in fertilized soil and their uptake by wheat were found to increase significantly at lower doses and smaller duration of application of dimethoate. Likewise, the availability of P and their uptake also increases significantly upto 5.0 ppm and for 30 days of dimethoate application. An irregular pattern was noticed for the availability of Mg at different doses and days of dimethoate application in fertilized soil. The beneficial effect on seed germination and growth was observed up to 5.0 ppm and 10.0 ppm of dimethoate respectively, thereafter a phytotoxic behaviour was observed. The results have been explained on the basis of soil microbial activity, solublization effect and chemical doses and duration.

CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF MONOOXYGENASE SYSTEM DURING XENOBIOTIC OXIDATION
 

M.V. Kurashvili, T.I. Ananiashvili, E.A. Kiskeidze
 

Abstract

Characteristics of inactivation process of cytochrome P450-containing monooxygenase system during the oxidative reactions, in which generation of free radicals takes place has been studied. It has been shown that cytochrome P450 loses monooxygenase activity and simultaneously acquires peroxidase activity. This effect is more evident after 3,4-benzpyrene oxidation. Use of tairon (4,5-dihydroxy-1,3,-disulphonic acid benzene) – low molecular analogue of superoxiddismutase indicates that during 3,4-benzpyrene oxidation process superoxide anion radicals’ formation occurs. It was supposed that exactly the superoxide anion radicals is the active intermediate, which is acting on cytochrome P450 heme and causes its chemical modification.

PECULARITIES OF EARLY SEED-FARMING ORGANIZATION IN ARARAT VALLEY
 

H.V. Hovsepyan

Abstract

Until recently an unknown fruitful planting substance has, on the whole, been used, which was imported from foreign countries for cultivation of early-ripening potatoe in the Ararat Valley.Our aim was to organize a new system of seed-farming with the help of summer plantings in the Ararat Valley. It turned out that the planting subsance which was produced from the fresh tubers of Priekulski early-ripening and Impala sorts from the summer plantings during the first five days of July, has got higher signs of souring and that next year it will secure heavy harvest for spring plantings. The best results of old tubers have been secured under the condition of +2, +4 0C kept in a refrigerator in the period of planting up to the 15th of July.Our suggestion, concerning the seed-farming organization of early-ripening potatoe has been introduced in more than 30 peasant households, for more than 300 hectare in the Ararat Valley.

METHOD OF MOUNTAINOUS RIVER WATER FLOW FORECASTS
 

Ts. Z. Basilashvili

Abstract

The Forecasting method is based on a statistical model. Through application of various mathematical criteria, an optimal system is worked out from numerous potential predictors. By means of direct and backward development of multi-factorial dependencies the following are simultaneously investigated: decrease in the predictor numbers, earlier prediction and its accuracy and possibility of ignoring accompanying factors. For those, yet unstudied rivers, have been worked out common, regional prognosis. For each, separate range and region there have been worked out various, prognostic equations depending on the variety of information with different earliness (4-6 months) and perfection. It, in its turn, enables us to select them according to the available information, required promptness and accuracy. Timely warning about an oncoming danger enables us to avoid material loss incurred by the element. Early forecasts (a few months in advance) save us from the above as it enables to take certain safety measures in time and to minimize the loss to any possible extent.

Z.l. Makaradze, L.A. Makaradze

Abstract

The presented scientific work drscribes developed pathomorphological changes during the hepatodystrophy of non-infectional and infectional (developed on the basis of colienterotoxsemy) origin and it is noted, that during the mentioned pathology of liver, as one of the most important organ's function and structure for life is sharply damaged, the process of its life is affected. By the researches, which were carried out at 15 pigs that died because of hepatodystrophy, it was identified, that both during infectional, noninfectious hepatodystrophy, developed changes in liver are basically presented by a sharp disturbance of circulation of blood, developing dystrophy and necrosis processes. The main basis for the development of the changes during hepatodystrophy is chronic poisoning caused by poor nutrition, but in case of colienterotoxsemy are toxins and organism's intoxication by pathogenic E-coli. Despite the fact that, discovered changes in both cases basically coincide, in case of colienterotoxsemy. They have most massive character and are developing in a shortest period of time.

COMPLEX CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHODS OF ESTIMATION OF THE QUALITY OF WINE PRODUCTION
 

B. S. Chernyaga, I. Sh. Shatirishvili, Sh. I. Shatirishvili, K. I. Beriashvili
 

Abstract

A chromadistillation method of studying aroma-forming volatile component in wine materials is proposed. The analysis of wine materials has shown that the principal merit of this method is that it can be combined with chromatographic analysis. Chromadistillation concentration, gas chromatographic separation, and detection are carried out by a single gas scheme, without any loss of the components under analysis. The composition of flavor-forming materials of wines and cognacs is investigated by the method of helium extraction with subsequent trapping on the sorbent “Texan”, followed by desorption of the extract on the cooling trap and transfer of the resulting extract into the chromatographic column. On the basis of the determination of carbonyl compounds in the composition of ordinary cognacs, by the method of reactional gas chromatography qualimetric models have been developed allowing to assess the influence of separate factors on the quality of wine production.

O.G. Keshelashvili

Abstract

In the article economical-technological environment of agriculture, its influence and characteristic peculiarities of Georgia are presented. The results of research according to the strategical priorities for the development of agriculture is shown. There is also given division of branches into “energy bringing” and “caloriec” accented on their global and local position for the development and integration concerning other branches of agriculture. It is underlined that new understanding of economical-technological environment is accumulated on informational technology as one of the main and independent elements. Such formulation derives from the main demands and motivation of complex integrated system of agriculture as well as total market economy. Discussing economical condition more deeply we can define the so called co- environment – it is marketing environment which has greatest influence on the whole system of economical growth. Taking into view peculiarities of economical-technological environment, it is separate agriculture having great traditions and potential, as well as branches of great perspective and strategical importance such as viticulture and fruit-growing and main subtropical branches such as tea-growing and citrus-growing and also branches of food industry functioning on the base of above mentioned branches.
