The article presents the results of researches on improvement the resource-saving technology of grain crops cultivation. The main task of the research was to study the efficiency of the use of moisture resources on crop formation in spring soft wheat crops under different variants of the growth regulator Mival-Agro in the arid steppe zone of the Volga region. Studies have shown that the use of the growth regulator Mival-Agro in the cultivation of spring wheat contributes to decrease in the yield of leaves and the optimization of the use of moisture resources during the growing season. Due to this, on the application options of the regulator, especially against the background of fertilizers, the maximum growth rates the development of plants and the productivity of photosynthesis of spring soft wheat were achieved. The largest coefficient of water consumption was recorded on the control version without treatments by the growth regulator and fertilizer application - 1796 m³/t. Water consumption factors were also high with a separate application of the growth regulator for seed treatment, crop processing and double seed and crop treatment - 1636; 1607 and 1451 m³/ t, respectively, as well as for separate application of mineral fertilizers in doses N₃₀P₃₀ and N₄₅P₄₅ - 1437 and 1327 m³/t, respectively. At the same time, the most effective use of moisture resources was observed when use a growth regulator against the background of mineral fertilizers. The least indicator of the water consumption factor was noted on the variant of double processing of seeds and crops by the growth regulator Mival-Agro against the background of the application of mineral fertilizers in the dose of N₃₀P₃₀ - 1022 m³/t on average over three years of research, which is lower than the indicator of the control variant at 774 m³ / By 43,1%) and lower than other options by 30-614 m³/t (by 2,9-37,5%). Based on the results of research to improve the productivity of spring soft wheat in conditions of arid climate in the steppe zone of the Volga region, it is recommended the growth regulator of Mival-Agro use twice for presowing seed treatment and spraying of crops in the tillering phase against the background of presowing application of the N₃₀P₃₀ fertilizer dose.

Progenies from crosses between cultivars Alpha, Pandora and selections Or 1416-9-12 and Or 1416-7-35 with Alpha served for study specifics of effects of genes of parent genotypes conditioning number and placement of nutlets on berries of hybrids, traits variability, their effect on berry mass and percentage of hybrids with different values of the indices. Self-pollination of Alpha led to strong depression in flesh mass per nutlet and wide range of variation of nutlet number per berry in seedlings. Crossing distant by their origin cultivars Pandora and Alpha favoured exhibiting in the progeny new interrelationships between different alleles of genes that controlled development and distribution of nutlets on berries. This conditioned strong depression in flesh mass per nutlet and berry mass in most hybrids. A strong correlation between berry mass and combination of nutlet number per berry and flesh mass per nutlet (R = 0,92***) was established.

The impact indicators of the quality and productivity of grape on the indicators of the number of the experiments as a result of the application of herbicides are studied. According to the results of computer processing it was found that in all the circumstances of the experiments conducted consistent with the methodology, received normal results in the dispersion, the coefficient of variation was below 20%.

An example of the system analysis of activity of concrete agricultural organization is reviewed. Experience is presented by the scheme of production of a milkproduction and management of this business process to CJSC «Patrushi» Agricultural Firm of Sysertsky district of Sverdlovsk region. The experience studying purpose - development of the mechanism of the system analysis of a property and financial state and the current economic activity of the organization from the point of view of its compliance to tasks of business plans and identification of reserves of increase in efficiency. Empirical data on the number of workers, capital investments and production of agricultural products from 2006 till present in a graphic form and the regression equations are submitted. The conclusion is drawn on expediency of identification of communication between administrative solutions and results of production activity.

The article shows the productivity, digestibility of ratios nutrients and the use of nitrogen by dairy cows with different live body weight at inclusion the diet vitamin-mineral supplement. As a result of feeding 300 grams of vitamin-mineral supplement dairy cows with different live weight a positive effect on the digestibility of nutrients and the use of nitrogen entering the organism of animals with food is established. At a live mass of 480 kg the productivity in the experimental group increased by 6,54%, and at 500 kg - by 12,54% in relation to the control.

We studied the hanges in the number of ordinary (Microtusarvalis Pall.) and public (Microtussocialis Pall.) voles. We studied voles in the spring, summer and autumn of 2010-2014 on cereal crops, summer pastures, the vineyards and orchards. To this end in each season all four habitats set traps that are inspected on a daily basis, with the number of counted caught field mouse, which was determined on the basis of the percentage of hits in the vole trap.

One from the actual tasks of development of mulberry-tree growing and silkworm breeding is the strengthening and increase in food base for this sphere of economy. For it solvе it is necessary to lead a wide researches on study genetics and selection of mulberry plants and work out an innovative technologies on growing family the mulberry silkworms and their control of pests and diseases. Research of appearing and development of silk culture in Azerbaijan caused with not only by the necessity to understanding of regional features of republic development but desire for reconstruct it economic development. Fact of rise in republic the silk culture at active role of state said about need industry this production. Thanks to firstrote characteristic of natural silk, it fits not for textile manufacture for material praparation but in aviation, military industry, medicine. Inspite of that in the end of XX century, because of Soviet union fall in Azerbaijan became falling-of silk production, there are some factors which can help to development the silk culture on high level. The main - the high need in silc products for many industry branches, so as possibility to be businessman and small-scale production in results of economic reform. Aktualites of this particle depeds on importance role of silk culture for development of Azerbaijan economy, as one from key branches of agriculture. Reconstruction of silk culture development in economic history of independent Azerbaijan make it possible to light the common regularities and concrete-historical features of this branch role in Azerbaijan, to determine conditions for it successful development and function in context of contemporary social-economic relations.

The decision is prompt and accurate about the division of transport between farms is very relevant during the harvesting of different products in contracted organizations with Agrotechservice’s regional organization. It is proposed to carry out the transport operation with the optimization method in transient processes during harvesting in the north-western regions of the Republic. A mathematical model has been created to look and find ways to harvest the product with the minimum loss from the beginning to the end in a multistage network.

Results of a scientific research on updating the information retrieval thesaurus on food and agriculture developed in the Central Scientific Agricultural Library are presented. Advantages of the thesaurus as an artificial information retrieval language are shown. Basic functions of the thesaurus are support of indexing and unified information representing in the AGROS database and other information resources on AIC problems, reflection of scientific terminology and its normalization, reflection of paradigmatic relations between concepts (lexical units) of the thesaurus. The technique of inclusion of new concepts into the thesaurus is described. The paradigmatic relations existing in the thesaurus of the CSAL are described. The process of establishing the paradigmatic relations between terms and creating the hierarchical trees is shown. More than 5500 lexical units have been modified (added, changed, deleted) in 2017. New lexical units on veterinary science, horticulture, agricultural engineering, AIC economy, animal husbandry and plants protection were introduced. New version of the thesaurus contains 49659 LU, 32939 of which are descriptors and 16710 - ascriptors. More than 18200 LU are scientific (Latin) names of organisms (2116 of them are new).
