RATIONAL MANAGEMENT OF UNSUITABLE AND ABANDONED LANDS IN THE SOUTH OF WEST SIBERIA
The possibility of expansion of nectariferous vegetation by the use of unsuitable flood plains and marsh lands through the establishment of artificial substrates there with planting willow cuttings and sowing legume grasses, and the use of arable land excluded from turnover is substantiated. The sugar yielding capacity of the grass stand of a plot of arable land excluded from turnover (89 kg/ha) in the piedmonts of the Altai Mountains is defined. The possibility of expanded reproduction of honey-bee colonies for the conditions of the south of West Siberia (theoretical increase up to 200%) is revealed.
