Participation in professional development courses
From June 12 to 16, 2023 (face-to-face and remotely in online mode), advanced training courses for scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers were held at the NSC "Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry named after O.N. Sokolovsky" in the direction of "Modern methods of soil surveys, obtaining and circulating information about soils in the context of European integration and new challenges of wartime".
The head of the laboratory of agrochemical research and product quality, candidate of agricultural sciences Mykhaylyn Volodymyr Igorevich and junior researcher Semenenko Svitlana Volodymyrivna improved their qualifications at the courses.
The training program included the following areas:
- soil resources of Ukraine, their condition and modern approaches to their diagnosis;
- harmonization of soil names with the WRB system;
- modern sources of obtaining remote sensing data for soil research;
- multispectral space scanning data in the information provision of balanced agriculture;
- applied aspects of using space survey data in agro-soil science;
- modern methods of digital mapping of chernozem soils of Ukraine;
- review of global and European soil databases;
- the main stages of the development of soil databases as a prerequisite for the creation of soil information systems;
- soil monitoring methods in Ukraine and European countries;
- special types of soil surveys: of urbanized areas, forensic expert studies, agricultural decarbonization projects;
- soil protection monitoring on intensive hydrocarbon extraction technologies;
- harmonization of international and national methods of diagnosing saline soils;
- modern survey methods and approaches to assessing the condition of irrigated lands in the context of European integration and today's challenges;
- assessment of the qualitative state of arable soils of Ukraine according to physical indicators;
- optimization of the main agrophysical parameters of the soil as a basis for increasing the productivity of agricultural crops in modern conditions;
- study of directionality and modern rates of soil development in the Western Polissia;
- phosphate regime of acidic soils of different degrees of hydromorphism: methods of determination, optimization measures;
- factors of the development of erosion processes in the territories affected by military influence;
soil magnetism as a tool of agronomic research; - determination of the granulometric composition of the soil affected by hostilities by the laser diffraction method;
- regulatory and methodological support for soil sampling to determine the risks of chemical pollution: Ukrainian realities and prospects;
- new methods of diagnosing, evaluating and forecasting soil pollution;
- soil health: concept, assessment and management;
- modern methods of studying organic matter and methods of its restoration in soils disturbed by military actions;
- modern instrumental methods of CO2 emission research from the soil. Technical characteristics of some gas analyzers and breathing chambers;
- methods of diagnosing the imbalance of nutrition of agricultural crops, taking into account the spatial variability of soil moisture supply;
- modern devices and methods of operational soil and plant diagnostics in crop production;
- harmonization of domestic regulation of fertilizer management issues with the provisions of the common agricultural and environmental policy of the EU;
- sustainable management of soil resources as the basis of food security: challenges and prospects in the conditions of martial law and post-war reconstruction.
According to the results of training, appropriate certificates were obtained.
