Relevance. Agricultural production is the main consumer of water. Globally, about 70% of fresh water is annually used for agricultural (food and non-food) production. Nearly 40% of the world's food supply comes from irrigation. Globally, the scarcity of irrigation water due to competition between industry and urban consumption threatens food security. Future population growth, income growth and changes in nutrition are expected to increase demand for water. The rate of warming in Russia since the mid-1970s about 2.5 times the global average. The highest rate of temperature increase occurs at high latitudes. The entire territory of Russia is subject to warming, both as a whole for the year and in all seasons. Water Footprint Accounting (WF), proposed by the Water Footprint Network (WFN), has the potential to provide important information for water management, especially in water-stressed regions that rely on irrigation to meet food needs.Methodology. The purpose of this systematic review was to collate and synthesize available data on global water use in vegetable production. Searched online databases covering the areas of environment, social sciences, public health, nutrition and agriculture: Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, OvidSP MEDLINE, EconLit, OvidSP AGRIS, EBSCO GreenFILE, and OvidSP CAB Abstracts. The search was conducted using predefined search terms that included the concepts of "vegetable crops" and "water footprint".Results. This article provides a brief overview of the vegetable growing water footprint and the sustainability of the blue water footprint. In general, a high green or overall (green + blue) WF may indicate that the vegetable crops are having low yields or inefficient water use. Low green and high blue WF indicate inefficient use of rainwater, which can lead to overexploitation of surface and groundwater. The water footprint can be considered a good economic ergometer, showing the level of water consumption required to obtain a certain vegetable product, whether it brings economic benefits or not, beneficial to society or not.

Relevance. Research is devoted to increasing the horizontal, polygenic resistance of table carrots of the Surazhevskaya variety to Fusarium sp. and Alternaria sp. infections. The aim of the research was to conduct sequential (at different stages of development) and multiple (over several reproductive generations) individual selections of table carrot plants resistant to a complex of pathogens using traditional phytopathological methods.Methods. The research was carried out in 2011–2019 in the Department of breeding and seed production in the laboratory of root crops and onions of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Vegetable Growing — Branch of the FSBSI Federal Scientific Vegetable Center. The source material for research was a variety of carrots in the Surazhevskaya dining room, obtained in 2006 from the Flakke variety type. Assessment for resistance to Fusarium sp. and Alternaria sp. it was performed in the field, on two artificial infectious sites and in the laboratory in accordance with the methods. The correspondence (significance of differences) between the compared series (families) in the frequency distribution of the corresponding average scores of disease manifestations was assessed using the χ 2 criterion.Results. With each subsequent selection cycle, not only did the number of relatively resistant plants increase, but the average score of the lesion also decreased. As a result of four consecutive selection cycles at different stages of ontogenesis and in three nurseries with natural and artificial infection, the selection population changed in terms of resistance to Fusarium sp. and Alternaria sp. It is advisable to assess susceptibility to pathogenic flora in parallel on the natural and infectious backgrounds. Field assessment and selection of carrot plants should be carried out at different periods of the two-year development cycle, as well as during the storage of Queen root crops.
