The influence of drip irrigation regimes on the yield of Rkatsiteli grapes, the efciency of irrigation water use, the formation of costs of natural, fnancial and energy resources in the South of Ukraine has been studied. The results of the study confrmed that the yield of grapes is not proportional to the consumption of irrigation water, but depends on the level of moisture in the local soil volume in the most important phases of development. It was found out that plants unimpeded water consumption during the entire growing season requires maximum (within 1134 m3/ha)irrigation water consumption and resources to ensure a high level of irrigation soil moisture, while plant yields increased by only 45–47 % compared to non-irrigated control. The regime of soil moisture during the frst half of the growing season did not have a signifcant effect on the number of fruit shoots that are indicators of their fertility. The most signifcant influence of moisture availability thresholds of the active layer of soil was manifested in the process of berry harvest formation. The total effect of the interaction of factors such as high soil moisture, more fruit shoots, their high fruiting and high average weight of the bunch provided the highest yield of grapes, which amounted to 11.3– 11.7 t/ha, or 47.4 % more than with a control area. In the conditions of the economical irrigation regime, at the level of 100–70 % of HB during the whole period of vegetation of plants, the average yield of berries was 10.7 t/ha, which exceeds by 37.1 % similar indicators of the control area. A detailed analysis of the results of the experiment shows that the irrigation regime differently affects the effciency of the main resource-irrigation water, the cost of which for the formation of 1 ton of berries with unimpeded moisture (100–80 % HB), during the growing season, is 476 m3/t. The most economically used irrigation water in the economical irrigation mode at the level of 100–70 % HB reduces the specifc water consumption to 266 m3/t. In the area of this variant, the yield of berries was 10.5 t/ha, ie decreased by 8.6 %, while the specifc water consumption decreased by 38.3 %, compared with similar indicators of the area with unimpeded inflow of moisture. Key words: grapes, Rkatsiteli, drip irrigation, berry yield, irrigation regime, moisture defciency, irrigation water.

The purpose. Analysis of scientific-and-methodological maintenance of measures on protection and intelligent use of lands of agricultural assignment. Methods. System justification of scientific-andmethodological bases of nature of soil-ecological crisis phenomena in land-use and protection of lands of agricultural assignment against degradation processes. Results. Theoretical-and-methodological and application aspects of measures on ecological-and-economic regulation of use of land-resource potential in conditions of aggravation of ecological crisis in agrarian sector of the state are justified. Conclusions. Strategic priorities of heightening efficiency of use of potential of lands of agricultural assignment in the system of euro integration priorities of the state on the basis of heightening competitive strength and implementation of innovations specified.

The purpose. To analyze existing methods of optimization of land-use of village territories and to search ways of its rationalization from the point of view of a prospect of the further European integration of the state. Methods. System-structural analysis of approaches to optimization of land-use of village territories. Results. Scientifically-methodical fundamentals are brought of modern land-use on the basis of the integrated approach in management of intelligent use of agricultural lands by implementation of measures on protection, minimization and achievement of neutral level degradation processes, raise of efficiency of use of land-resource potential in erosion-hazardous agrolandscapes. Legal grounds, regional features of use of eroded lands are specified. Theoretical-and-methodological and applied aspects of optimization of land-use in view of multipurpose development of economy of village territories are developed. Conclusions. Main ways of optimization of land-use of village territories with implementation of innovative levers of their complex development are specified.

The study aims to conduct an objective analysis of the eff ectiveness of modern technology of industrial grape plantations cultivation, to compare them with similar costs for cultivation of other agricultural crops considering the modern global trend. Planting prepared rootstocks in a permanent place, according to the scheme, followed by their grafting with the desired variety on the spot can be an option to the traditional technology of growing grafted seedlings and planting grape plantations. The introduction of alternative technology, using modern mobile tools (secateurs for grafting components on site, aquosorbents, biological adhesives), reduces fi nancial cost by 15.9 % and the cost of chemical and man-made energy by 71.7 % at the stage of growing grafted planting material grapes. It also provides for cost reduce for creation of its industrial plantations. The analysis of the eff ectiveness of traditional technology for growing grafted planting material shows that the technology is too burdensome for the industry and needs signifi cant revision in order to signifi cantly reduce fi nancial, resource and energy costs, to use natural energy fl ows more effi ciently. In general, the same applies to the technology of creation and productive cultivation of industrial grape plantations. Saving and further development of the industry, increasing the profi tability of viticulture, reducing anthropogenic pressure on the environment are possible on the basis of new, non-traditional energy-saving technologies for the creation of industrial plantations and their productive cultivation. Key words: energy indicators, energy intensity of cultivation, analysis of energy effi ciency, planting material, cultivation technology, industrial grape plantations.
