Our research consisted in determining the productivity of forage lands and studying the main measures to improve the efficiency of low-productivity lands through the use of various agronomic ...measures. On the basis of the analysis of materials of arrangement of the territory we carried out a rating of lands of the territory of forestry and its distribution on credit ratings. According to the obtained data, taking into account the correction factors and the influence of factors, we determined that the average creditworthiness class is 3.1. As a result of our research, we found that the actual number of animals is many times lower than optimal. In particular, the number of spotted deer is three times lower, that of wild boar is 2 times lower, and that of European roe deer is 1.5 times lower. Based on the data on the actual number of animals on the farm, we calculated the amount of fodder for certain species of animals. According to the obtained data at the rate of hay harvest per 1 spotted deer, the total amount of haylage in the next 3 years will be: in 2017 – 160 kg, 2018 – 200 kg, 2019 – 280 kg. The required amount of silage in these years will be 120 kg, 125 kg, 210 kg, respectively. The total amount of necessary haylage for European roe deer during 2017-2019 will be: 390, 410, 440 kg. The required amount of silage during this period will be: 390, 410, 440 kg, bunches of deciduous trees – 780, 820, 880 pieces, compound feed – 585, 615, 660 kg. It was found that the yield of forage lands is not high, in particular, the yield of hayfields and pastures on average in the study area is about 18-25 kg/ha of green mass. It is determined that the total area of natural forage lands, in particular hayfields and pastures of the enterprise is 6.65 ha. The average yield of these lands is 0.94 t/ha, which is twice lower than the average for the Forest-Steppe zone.
According to the results of researches it is established that in the territory of Vinnytsia NAU genus Forsythia Vahl. represented by 5 species, the most common of them: Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) ...Vahl (about 47%), Forsythia europaea Degen & Bald (23%), slightly less common such species as: Forsythia ovata Nakai (12%), Forsythia × intermedia (10%), Forsythia viridissima Lindl. (8%).It was investigated that in Vinnitsa conditions the highest acclimatization numbers are characterized by the species Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl., Forsythia ovata Nakai (85 and 87 points, respectively), the lowest acclimatization number are characterized by Forsythia giraldiana (Thorsybia). Vahl, Forsythia suspensa «Decipiens» (Thunb.) Vahl. (72 points) and Forsythia viridissima Lindl. (70 points), respectively.As a result of our research, we have found that most plants have the highest ornamental Forsythia europaea Degen & Bald (score 29-32), with an average degree of ornamental characteristic of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl. (score 23), a relatively low decorative score of the forsythia hanging in the conditions of VNAU biostationary was caused by spring frosts, as a result of which one- and two-year shoots of the plant were affected, which in turn negatively affected the flowering intensity of the species.As a result of these observations, we have identified groups of prospects for species of the genus Forsythia Vahl. in the conditions of the biostationary of VNAU. For perspective species we have included such as the forsythia Giralda and the forsythia average with a prospect score of 82 and 78, respectively. The plants of this group bloom and fruit annually, but are slightly less winter-hardy than the plants of the first group to which the forsythia hung and forsythia european ones belong.
