“…Conventional (inorganic) agriculture requires high inputs of raw materials and the use of innovative technological solutions to increase the efficiency and productivity of agricultural crops [ 1 ]. A recent review revealed that the economic losses in conventional agriculture are defined mainly as a consequence of the type and degree of weeding in cultivated areas [ 2 ].…”

Nano solutions are widely used in medicine and also have the potential to be used when performing allelopathy screening studies. The present experiment aimed to test the effectiveness of colloidal nano silver Silver–Amber© with nanoparticles of 20 nm (>20 mg/L at a purity level of 99.99%) as a carrier of allelochemicals in laboratory conditions. The influence of eleven concentrations of Silver–Amber© (0.10, 0.20, 0.39, 0.78, 1.56, 3.13, 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0% v/v) on the germination and initial development of test plant Lactuca sativa L. in 0.75% agar medium was studied. Data revealed that when increasing the quantitative ratio of Silver–Amber©, an inhibitory effect on seed germination (from 37.8 to 94.3%) and on the plant growth (from 54.0 to 98.9%) appeared. Lower concentrations (0.63 to 0.04 ppm) had an indifferent to statistically unproven stimulatory effect on the germination and initial development of L. sativa (GI ranged from 88.7–94.6%). Therefore, nano silver can be used as carrier of allelochemicals in allelopathic studies in laboratory conditions.

The sustainable development of urban and rural settlements is considered one of the primary objectives of economic, social, and urban planning. Recent studies focused significant attention on the issue of the resilience of rural settlements due to the challenges and threats they face. One of the essential drivers affecting the resilience of rural settlements is cultural heritage preservation. The research methods were based on the complex systems approach. The study employed a multidimensional analysis method to evaluate the resilience of rural settlements based on five sub-systems: social, economic, environmental, physical, and managerial. The proposed method for evaluation of the settlement sustainability involves the application of a settlement development index and considers the preservation of cultural heritage objects. The data sources used contain open-access information and statistical data provided by municipal organizations, including GIS maps, statistical, and archival records. The study aim was to establish methodological frameworks for evaluating the influence of cultural heritage on the resilience of rural settlements as well as to obtain a quantitative assessment of the resilience of rural settlements within the Zavałočycy local council, located at Hlusk district, Mahiloŭ region, Belarus.
