TECHNOLOGY FOR CREATING FOREST CROPS IN THE SOSNOVSKOYE FORESTRY BRANCH

Abstract The article analyzes the creation of forest crops in different forest vegetation conditions. Based on the analysis, it was found that in the current year in Sosnivske forestry, forest crops were created in the conditions of wet boreal forest - 1.8 hectares, fresh subboreal forest - 4.6 hectares, wet subboreal forest - 18.4 hectares, wet subboreal forest - 1.3 hectares, fresh subgrade - 4.4 hectares, wet subgrade - 1.8 hectares. It has been determined that four schemes of mixing forest crops are used in the specified forestry: 7rSz3rBp, 4rSz1rDz, 4rSz1rYale, 4rSz1rBp. In wet forest conditions, three planting schemes are used for scots pine and hanging birch, namely 7 rows of pine and 3 rows of birch. In C2 and C3 conditions, 3 planting schemes are used for planting crops, including 4 rows of pine and 1 row of oak, birch or spruce. In the course of the research, the amount of planting material required per hectare of forest area was determined. Depending on the type of forest and vegetation conditions, it ranges from 3.92 to 4.53 thousand pieces for pine, 0.08-0.60 thousand pieces for spruce, 0.60-0.63 thousand pieces for oak For birch - 0.21-1.67 thousand pieces. The cost of planting one hectare of forest crops is significant, ranging from 11.0 to 29.5 thousand UAH for European pine, from 19.0 to 39.5 thousand UAH for oak, from 16.0 to 34.5 thousand UAH for birch and from 22.0 to 54.5 thousand UAH for spruce. In addition to the creation of forest crops, the farm provides for natural regeneration in pine stands: a fresh pine forest on an area of 0.7 hectares, a fresh oak-pine subbore on 0.9 hectares, a wet oak-pine subbore on 1.8 hectares, and a wet hornbeam-oak-pine subbore on an area of 0.7 hectares.
