Radiation-ecological problems of agricultural production restoring in Ukrainian Polissya

Abstract

Radiation and environmental problems of agricultural production rehabilitation in Ukrainian Polissya in the remote period after the Chernobyl accident have been analyzed. The degree of crops radioactive contamination with radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr has been appreciated. Variability of correlation between potential of agricultural plants ability to accumulate radionuclides and intensity of radionuclides flows with harvest has been discovered. The most effective fertilization system to reduce the accumulation of radionuclides by crops has been established. The need for scientific support of development and implementation of countermeasures has been justified.

Opportunities and perspectives of agricultural development in radiation-polluted territories

“…The This leads to the search for new complexes of measures aimed at obtaining crop and livestock products that meet the radiological standards and the safe use of agrocenoses in radioactive contaminated areas [6].…”
