In conditions of the Left Bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine, the following scheme aimed to increase in productivity of late-ripening white head cabbage up to 65.7 t -ha is proposed. After predecessor harvesting it is advisable to straw plowback with simultaneous application of N40 followed by sowing and plowing of green-manure of wiki with pre-application of N60P60K45 and three times plant feeding (development of 5-6 leaves, beginning of the formation of rosettes leaves, and formation of head) by Kristalon at concentration of 3 kg / ha. For the system of «organic farming», the application of the microbiologic specimens Baikal EM-1U or Fitotsid-r and Azotofit-r is recommended.

The features  of cultivation and storage  of seed collections of the gene pool of vegetable crops have been studied. Elements to improve growing techniques  of seeds  for dispatch for long term storage  are offered. The optimal conditions for storage  of vegetable seeds  of the gene bank are found. The features of conservation of the collection of vegetative propagated  vegetable crops have been analyzed.

As a result of many years breeding, two varieties of southern bean have been developed. Cultivar «Antoshka» is climbing bean for farm gardening. Cultivar «Svetlyachok» is bunch,forming cultivar. Both varieties are suitable for mechanized cultivation. They are characterized by high content of sugars and ascorbic acid. These cultivars are recommended for freezing.

The study is aimed to examine the environmental conditions and backgrounds in Russian Federationand Republicof Belarusfor utilization for breeding of Chinese cabbage and Pack Choi for resistance to accumulation of the radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr.

Under the conditions of Steppe  of the Ukraine during 2010-2012 a scheme  of planting and plant population of beans played a big role on the formation of a yield of green  beans variety Ukrainian Sloboda.   The highest  yield of cv. Ukrainian Sloboda; 13.5 t / ha; was obtained when the density of planting was 148;1 thousand plants/hectare  and the scheme of planting was 45х15.

The key development stages and results of breeding and seed production of cole crops in VNIISSOK are shown. The main directions of breeding and seed production of cole crops in modern times are determined.

New varieties of pea of different time of ripening were developed in the Crimean experimental breeding station. These varieties were included in the State register of breeding achievements permitted for use in the areas of raw material for canning factories of Kuban. The cultivation technology of the pea varieties is described.

The main directions and goals of breeding  of cucumber, squash, patty pan squash, and pumpkins are shown. The brief characteristic  of the varieties of pumpkin crops developed by in the laboratory breeding and seed production  of pumpkin crop  of VNIISSOK is given.

The Russian-Belarusian cooperation in breeding of legumes and onion crops has resulted in development of new cultivars of pea (Samorodok), bean (Phaeton and Mignon), onion (Palesskaya znahodka, Patrida and Vermeles), winter garlic (Dubkovsky Asilak), which were included in 2014 in the State Register of the Republic of Belarus.

The paper presents a commodity output of oyster mushroom growing in the winter and spring time in the basement.  The two strains of mushroom;  НК635 and  R-24; were  grown  on the different straw substrates.  Using straw pea substrate yielded 1;6-2;2 kg/m2   of fruit bodies of the first commodity group of the  strain  НК-35 and 2;4-2;7 kg/m2  of fruit bodies of the second commodity group of the strain Р-24.
