Исследованиями установлено, что применение вермикомпоста способствует интенсивному формированию фитомассы растений рассады огурца. Растения, выращенные на вермикомпосте из лузги гречихи и осадка сточных вод, имели на 17,2% выше содержание хлорофилла в листьях и на 39,9% больше площадь листовой поверхности.

Studies have established that the change in enzymatic activity under the action of growth biostimulators at the initial stages of development increases the immunity of plants of winter wheat. The greatest resistance of winter wheat "Moscovskaya 56" to the fungus of the genus Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria was noted in variants of Albit -96.7%, Vympel -96%, Larixin -95.7% along with fungicide, which is 48,7; 48,0; 47.7% compared to the control. Winter wheat "Biryuza" has the greatest effect when using Albit and Larixin against fungicide -96 and 96% respectively, which is 45% higher than the control. КЛЮЧЕВЫЕ СЛОВА Озимая пшеница, биостимуляторы роста, ферменты, резистентность, активность, продуктивность.

The authors of the article considered a relevant problem of using perennial plants in landscaping Russian cities in connection with their unique climatic conditions, existing traditions in landscaping and bad environmental conditions. For the natural and climatic conditions of the forest-steppe zone of the Russian Federation, a selection of perennial flowering plants that are resistant to the urban environment according to the criteria of low maintenance, shade tolerance, drought resistance and undemanding soil fertility has been carried out. When choosing perennial plants, the preference was given to the representatives of the local flora, large in height and stable for a long time in decorativeness. In this case it is possible to use the developed assortment when creating sustainable floral compositions in cities, meeting modern requirements of aesthetics, environmental friendliness and economy of the landscape objects. The design projects developed by the authors provide with the creation of modular flower beds of round, triangular, square shapes in the form of mixborders combined of large-sized flowering plants that easily fit into any configuration of the existing flower garden and are assembled by rhythmic repetition of the modules or their combination.
