“…Therefore, with the exception of 2010, when an extreme drought was observed in the region, the profitability of crop production is significant. As a result, agricultural production has recently been modernized (new equipment is being acquired, including foreign-made equipment, modern technologies are being used, including modern chemical agents, wages have increased significantly) [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

The problem of the effectiveness of the sanctions mechanism in the modern world is acute. Currently, Western countries have introduced six packages of sanctions against the Russian economy. However, not all types of sanctions are negative for Russian enterprises. Food counter-sanctions introduced by Russia in 2014 had a positive impact on agricultural production in the country. Thanks to them, to a large extent, it was possible to eliminate the negative consequences of the 1990s. in agriculture. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of counter-sanctions on agricultural production in 2014-2019. As part of this work, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: - determine the change in the volume of agricultural production in 2014-2019 in the conditions of the Samara region; - to analyse the change in the system of state support for agricultural production; - to identify factors that affect the performance of agricultural producers. During the period of counter-sanctions (even with a decrease in the amount of state support), it was possible to increase crop yields, put unused arable land into circulation, and renew the machine and tractor fleet of agricultural enterprises).

“…At present, biodiversity is the basis for the functioning of natural ecosystems, a valuable natural resource, a source of biological evolution and a basis for genetic engineering [1][2][3][4]. Biodiversity conservation is possible only by preventing the degradation of the entire ecosystem as a whole [5][6][7][8][9]. Biodiversity is subject to environmental monitoring.…”

The stability of forest ecosystems and their resilience in the event of stressful situations is determined by the species composition of tree and shrub plantations. Forest ecosystems represent a biological system consisting of a community of interconnected living organisms dominated by woody vegetation, with the direct influence of abiotic factors complex. The research purpose is to determine the composition of tree and shrub species and their forest pathological state. 13 species of trees (3 species of coniferous species, 10 species of deciduous species) and 6 species of shrubs grow on the territory of the Volzhsky forestry. In the composition of the forest stand, the tree species proportion varies from 0.1% to 29.4%, the shrubs proportion varies from 0.1% to 8.3%. Among deciduous species, lanceolate ash dominates (29.4%), among conifers, Siberian larch (12.7%), and among shrubs, common lilac (8.3%). The conducted studies allowed to identify 28 species of harmful organisms (18 species - pests and 10 species - pathogens of fungal, viral and non-infectious diseases). Among the pests, the ecological group of pests of leaves and needles was the most represented - 37.9% in tree species and 11.1% in shrubs, among diseases - diseases of trunks and branches - 19.7%. The tree species most affected by diseases and damaged by pests was the small-leaved elm, so in 94% of the trees the leaves were damaged by pests and in 59% of the trees the trunks and branches were affected by diseases.

“…Crop insurance is an important financial instrument for the stable and successful functioning of crop production, realized by reducing risks [1][2][3]. The use of insurance tools allows to redistribute risk over time and reduces its impact on the results of an agricultural enterprise in unfavorable periods.…”

“…Reducing the dependence on oil and gas companies in the long term will help to minimize the dependence on global market conditions and fluctuations in diesel fuel and gasoline prices. One study considers various technologies for the production of oilseed crops, which allow optimizing both the choice of crop and the technology of its cultivation, taking into account the characteristics of the territory, the set of equipment and the potential yield of crops [2].…”
