Abstract

Organic horticulture is one of the advanced directions for the development of the agro-industrial sector in Russia. The aim of the work is to develop a set of measures to optimize agroecological and biotechnological techniques that guarantee the preservation of the crop and the quality of apple products without toxicological effects on the environment and humans. To achieve the stated goal, the tasks were solved to ensure microbiological control of the phytosanitary state of the soil, to use grape seed meal for reducing of harmful toxic substances, to improve the soil structure and nutrition of apple trees, to use biological products for processing fruits and to use low frequency electromagnetic fields to reduce fruit contamination. Agrochemical indicators, the activity of microbiological processes, the quantitative and qualitative composition of the microbiota of the arable horizon of the apple orchard agroecosystem are studied. It has been established that lower levels of humus and gross nitrogen in the garden soil are combined with low values of the total microbial pool and ammonifying microorganisms. A comparative assessment of the morphological characteristics of apples, the prevalence of apple scab and the yield of the garden with two options for applied treatment: chemical and integrated. An improved technology is proposed for storing the harvest of eco-friendly apples through the use of a complex including spraying with a phytopreparation and the effect of a low frequency electromagnetic field. The possibility of influencing the activity of microbiome of the fruit surface using the low frequency electromagnetic field in the range from 18 Hz to 100 Hz is determined. A software has been developed and registered that can be used directly for analytics and forecasting the quality of long-term storage of products.
