The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of pruning on wood composition in different morphological parts of the Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees, including heartwood and sapwood compared to normal trees as a reference. Pruning intensity during that treatment was 35–41 % of the total length of the crown for the trees with the average and less than average diameter at breast height and 28 % for the trees with diameter at breast height higher than the average. Components composition of acetone soluble extractives was analysed by gas chromatography with long and short columns, and their molar mass distribution was analysed by gel permeation chromatography. The following was determined in the pre-extracted wood tissues: cellulose (acid hydrolysis – gas chromatography); lignin (Acetyl Bromide method) and hemicellulose and pectins composition (acid methanolysis – gas chromatography). Acetone-soluble wood extractives are a complex mixture of different groups of organic compounds, i.e. both lipophilic and polar substances. The high-performance gel permeation chromatography analysis revealed the dominance of triglycerides, steryl esters, fatty and resin acids in the obtained extracts. The amount of monosaccharides in the extracts was also substantial. The chemical composition of wood tissues of the reference and pruned trees was almost similar. Compared to the reference trees, the wood samples of the pruned trees showed increased amounts of resin acids in sapwood, high amounts of lignin and double amounts of fructose in both sapwood and heartwood. The analysis results can be explained by response of trees to their pruning as a defense mechanism against plant pathogens and must be a result of the current physiological activity of those trees, possibly related to differences in crown sizes.

Цель исследования – изучение влияния обрезки ветвей на химический состав древесины ели европейской (Picea abies (L.) Karst), включая ядровую древесину и заболонь. В качестве контрольной использовалась древесина деревьев, не подвергнутых обрезке. Интенсивность удаления части ветвей составляла: 35–41 % от общей длины кроны – у деревьев со средним и менее среднего диаметром на высоте груди и 28 % – у деревьев с диаметром выше среднего. Компонентный состав растворимых в ацетоне экстрактивных веществ был проанализирован посредством газовой хроматографии на длинной и короткой колонках, молярно-массовое распределение найдено с помощью гель-проникающей хроматографии. В предварительно экстрагированных образцах древесины определяли содержание целлюлозы (кислотный гидролиз – газовая хроматография), лигнина (метод ацетилбромида) и состав гемицеллюлоз и пектиновых веществ (кислотный метанолиз – газовая хроматография). Растворимые в ацетоне экстрактивные вещества древесины представляют собой сложную смесь различных групп органических соединений, включая липофильные и полярные вещества. Анализ полученных экстрактов с использованием гель-проникающей хроматографии выявил преобладание в них триглицеридов, стериловых эфиров, жирных и смоляных кислот, а также значительного количества моносахаридов. Химический состав древесных тканей контрольных деревьев и деревьев из опыта был схож. Однако по сравнению с первыми древесина вторых характеризовалась повышенным количеством смоляных кислот в заболони, высоким количеством лигнина и в два раза большим уровнем фруктозы как в заболони, так и в ядровой древесине. Такие результаты можно объяснить реакцией деревьев на обрезку ветвей и воздействием патогенов (т. е. срабатыванием защитного механизма растения). Полученные данные также являются отражением физиологической активности обследованных деревьев и, возможно, связаны с различиями в размере их крон.

Increased soil acidity remains one of the important problems in world agriculture, especially relevant for the Northern territories, Traditionally, it is solved using lime ameliorants. Searching for new ameliorants that are just as effective, but at the same time are more are more accessible to certain areas is a promising direction for the development of agricultural science. Saponite water suspension can become effective ameliorant to improve acidic properties of soil on the territory of the Arkhangelsk region (Russia). This is possible due to the unique properties of saponite, its availability and the presence of large reserves in the region. This article presents the results of an experiment conducted in the Kholmogorsky district of the Arkhangelsk region (Russia) on sod-weak podzolic loam tame soil to identify the effect of saponite water suspension on acidic properties of soil under a naked fallow condition. The experiment proves the dependence of the seasonality of application, the different proportions of saponite water suspension and changes in pH and hydrolytic acidity, as well as the estimation of the most effective proportions of saponite water suspension to improve acidic properties of soil and revealed differences in the influence of seasonal application on the manifestations of the deoxidizing ability of saponite water suspension.

The article shows the need to develop preparations antioxidant actions and identify the preparative form, optimal for use in a stressful poultry industry. Because the impact of negative factors emergency force feeding a bird is greatly reduced, the body experiences a deficiency of biologically active substances and their additional introduction food is ineffection, need to find other ways of introducing biological additives. As a means of antioxidant action is proposed the use of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre L.), which consists of flavonoids - hesperidin, luteolin-7-glycoside, robinin, vicenin, dihydroquercetin, hyperoside; oksikorichnye acids - cicoria, coffee; coumarins-umbelliferon contributing to its antioxidant properties.The article presents the results of a study of antioxidant activity of different preparative forms on the basis of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre L.), prepared according to the Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation XII(decoction, extract and tincture) from whole plant: roots and aboveground parts. A new method for determination of antioxidant activity in aqueous extract of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre L.)through which confirms its antioxidant properties.From all the studied aqueous extracts of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre L.) most appropriate to the poultry industry is the use of infusion, as the most convenient in the preparation of forms and the possessingrather high antioxidant activity. It is proposed in terms of industrial content desoldering bird water infusion marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre L.) in a dose of 5 ml per kg of live weight, the resulting rate of 1 g of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre L.) to 10 ml of water. doi: 10.15217/279703
