To achieve goal, the following tasks were solved: recipes for a new type of functional canned food – "Dessert of Jerusalem artichoke", consisting of a mixture of vegetables and fruits (based on Jerusalem artichoke), which has good organoleptic characteristics, experimental samples were made and their physico-chemical and organoleptic characteristics were determined. At the same time, when developing the formulations of the selected range of functional foods, it is necessary to proceed from the requirements of GOST R 52349-2005 "functional Foods" from which it follows that each portion of the functional product must contain at least 15% of the daily consumption rate established By the Institute of nutrition of the Russian Academy of Sciences for a specific physiologically functional ingredient. To choose the best recipe of "Dessert" were made comparative experimental samples of canned food with the content of Jerusalem artichoke, as the main component, from 30 to 45%. The best composition of canned food "Dessert of Jerusalem artichoke", which received an average rating of 4.5 points, as a result of sensory analysis by rating, using a score scale, the following content of components: puree of Jerusalem artichoke – 40%, mashed carrots – 30%, mashed apples – 30%. According to the results of sensory evaluation of the intensity of the characteristics of the profiles for each of the five indicators: taste, color, aroma, appearance and consistency, as well as a diagram of the overall organoleptic evaluation of a new type of functional product "Dessert of Jerusalem artichoke".

Shallot is one of the most popular onion crops at present. This is a multi-purpose crop in terms of possible use of its economically valuable features. In order to realize the potential of this crop, its varieties are needed. The work on the development of varieties adapted to the conditions of the south of West Siberia was carried out by the plant breeders of the West Siberian Vegetable Experimental Station from 1999 through 2018. The research goal was to study introduced and local forms of shallot variety accessions and to obtain varieties adapted to the conditions of Siberia with high indices of economically valuable features. In 1999, the plant breeders began working with the collection of shallot hybrid material obtained by polycross method at the Siberian Research Institute of Crop Production and Plant Breeding. Shallot variety accessions introduced in different climatic zones (Far East, Kazakhstan, Krasnodar, the Urals, Siberia, Non-Chernozem Zone and Holland) were used as initial forms for hybridization. Five variety accessions were obtained; they successfully underwent the State Variety Testing and were released.

Stavropol region is well known zone of vegetable seed production from 70th years of last century. Development seed production of main vegetable crops is connected with using of new technologies. New technological methods and its influence on the seed yield formation and on the quality of carrot seeds have been investigated in this study. The objects of the study were seeds of carrot variety Marlinka and different technological methods, including in schemes of sowing. Methods and conditions of experiments have been written in details with scheme of experiment by the study influence of sowing schemes on the seed productivity of carrot plants variety Marlinka. Years of study (2015-2017) have been characterized as drought. Seedling capacity of seeds was very small (about of 30%). Sowing with seed drill Matermacc (by the scheme of sowing: 25+20x20x20x20x20+25 sm) ensured the seedling capacity needed for survive of plants after winter. Yield of seeds was in 4-6 time higher in variant with using seed drill Matermacc and scheme of sowing 25+20x20x20x20x20+25 sm, than in variants with traditional technologies. Mass of 1000 seeds was similar under different technologies and schemes of sowing. But seedling capacity was significantly decreased under traditional technologies and using seed drill SZ-5,4.

In commodity farms, the technology of growing onions is sown by sowing seeds from a one-year crop. This, in turn, introduces new requirements for growing technology, technical means and, most importantly, for varieties and hybrids of onions. The average yield of onion in Russia is at a low level - 20-30 tons / ha. New varieties and hybrids must have precocity, high yield, resistance to diseases and pests, good crabness. The success of selection work, as is known, is largely determined by the source material. The priority is to create heterotic hybrids of onion, showing increased viability, high stable yield and leveling, general resistance to pathogens, increasing the content of vitamins, proteins, dry substances, increasing cold resistance, drought resistance, and keeping quality. In the department of selection and seed production of All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Vegetable Growing – a branch of FSBSI FSVC is breeding onions for growing in the annual culture of the Central strip of Russia. The study was conducted in 2017 with the setting of experiments in the open field. In the collection nursery 24 samples of onions of different geographical origin were investigated: Russia, the Netherlands, Italy and the USA. During the study, phenological, biometric measurements and a morphological description of the samples were carried out. As a result of the study of a set of economically valuable traits, the following samples of onion were identified and involved in the work: Ermak, Stuttgarter Riesen, Sturon, Forward, Crx 2381 F1, Santero F1, Sandra F1, Lamyca F1, Bennito F1, Premium F1.

The culture of unpollinated ovules in vitro in summer squash was used to develop fully homozygous breeding lines with the aim of the speeding-up breeding program. As a result of assessment for economically valuable traits, the seven promising DH-lines obtained from summer squash accessions differed by fruit shapes and colours were selected out. All breeding lines produced showed high homogeneity that retained in following generations and also have an appropriate set of economically valuable traits. DH-lines belonging to female type have up to 96% female flowers and only 4% male flowers. It is very important for breeding when the male flowers appeared in two weeks just after the female flower began blooming. The development of morphologically abnormal female and male flowers, along with gynandromorphy flowers was noted on selected DH-lines. During vegetation period from 26 to 36 flowers appeared on the plant, where out of them 19-21 ones were normally developed female flowers, 3-5 ones were normally developed male flowers, and up to 10-11 ones showed an abnormal way of development. The percentage of abnormal flowers stayed invariable when growing in greenhouse condition with high humidity and temperature as well as in open field condition. As it was shown the development of deformed abnormal flowers inherited and manifested in the following generation after self-pollination. As a result of the study, the occurred anomalies in course of male and female flower development in summer squash (C. pepo L.,) DH-lines produced through a cultivation of unpollinated ovules in vitro were described in details for the first time.

Yaltinskiy onion is one of the symbols of the Crimea, the very name of which is tied to the famous resort, which emphasizes belonging to the Crimean Peninsula. Salad sweet onion is in constant demand among the guests of the peninsula and locals. Its price is several times higher than the price of other onion varieties. Unfortunately, under the guise of Yaltinskiy sortotype, products that are much inferior to it according to taste peculiarities are often sold. In this regard, creation of new cultivar of sweet salad onion, exceeding palatability of the existing cultivar Yaltinskiy Rubin is an urgent task, having an undeniable economic direction. The source material was collected at various zones of the Crimean Peninsula. During the research, hybridization and selection in hybrid progeny were carried out. The plants were analyzed using various methods of evaluation. Much attention was paid to biochemical analysis. The palatability traits are important for the onion cultivars of salad direction. The best indicators for sugars and vitamin C were identified in salad onion of a new cultivar Yaltinskiy plus. Reducing the content of essential oil has improved the taste and its consumer properties. Useful properties were also supplemented by the fact that the presence of selenium antioxidant 68 μg/kg and anthocyanins of 1.66 mg/100 g in salad onions was established, which is 1.5 and 2.3 times higher than the standard sample showed. The content of quercetin and other polyphenols was also noted. The cultivar is characterized by high agronomic stability (90%), product quality (88%), and productivity (49 tons per ha).

Food and pharmacological value in onion leaves is mainly represented by ascorbic acid, chlorophylls and secondary metabolites: carotenoids, phenolic compounds. At the same time, their quantity depends on the conditions of cultivation and treatment with biostimulants. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse on sod-podzolic soil in the Moscow region under conditions of natural insolation at a temperature of 20 ... 25 ° C in March using varieties of VNIISSOK selection – Chernyj princ and Zolotnichok. The effect of Albit and Amir biostimulants on the content of antioxidants and photosynthetic pigments in the leaves of onion was studied. The work shows the promise of using growth-stimulating plant and bacterial preparations for foliar treatment of onion leaves, which allow increasing the yield of leaves and the content of antioxidants. In the leaves of the Chernyj princ variety, an increase in the content of ascorbic acid by 30% was observed when treated with biostimulant Amir, as well as an increase in leaf weight by 8% when treated with Amir and by 14% when treated with biostimulant Albit. Foliar treatment of onion leaves with biostimulants Albit and Amir resulted in an increase in the amount of ethanol-soluble antioxidants.

In article development of the agrarian sector of Sverdlovsk region is analyzed. The author has carried out the complex analysis of the current state of regional agriculture: positions of regions are reflected in production of agriculture of the Ural Federal District, positions of Sverdlovsk region on production in a section of the Ural Federal District are designated and also the structure of agricultural products of area in a section of producers following the results of 2017 is presented. It is established that, despite positive tendencies in development of agriculture of area, this branch both at the macrolevel, and at the level of the region develops in the conditions of investment crisis. On the basis of the analysis of the current economic environment the internal and external factors influencing positively or negatively development of agrobusiness in the region are revealed. The particular emphasis in article is placed on a burning issue of the restrictions connected with support of small-scale and average krestyanskofermersky enterprises, it is more difficult to them to achieve financing of the projects. It is established that public financing is focused on support, but not on forward development of branch that a part of projects from a profitability zone removes, blocking their start. It is shown that the main negative effects recorded in region agriculture as a result of reduction of subsidies and grants from the state were a consequence of such limited policy for landowners. Taking into account it the author has formulated the concrete directions and practical recommendations about elimination of the negative factors constraining attraction of investments into the agrarian sector of the region and the vectors of further development of branch capable to increase her economic growth are allocated.

The excretion and inculcation of stamped varieties of tomato and hybrids into production are of particular value in conditions of dry subtropics. In this regard, during 2013-2015 in the Surkhandarya Scientific Experimental Station of the Research Institute of Vegetable and Melon Crops and Potatoes, a collection of tomato strains was studied for biological and economic precocity, maturity, etc. For the duration of the «young growthflowering» period, the best were No.86, Yamal, GemState, and Sever. Blooming on the first brush, they come in 8-13 days before the standard variety. The Argo, Chelnyok, Ion-N, Alpatyeva 905а, L-923-92 samples with a duration of 38-40 days have a short period of «flowering-ripening». Maturation of the first fruit (fetus) occurs 1-3 days earlier than the standard. By weight of the fetus, the samples studied can be divided into two groups: medium fruit (61-93 g) – L-923-92, Argo; small fruit (28-58 g) – GemState, Ion-N, Sever, Nevsky, etc., only 10 samples. The total yield varies from 16.4 to 55.5 t/ha, depending on the variety. Samples No.86 and Chelnok are 7.7 and 12.3% higher than the standard for the general harvest. The lowest overall yield is GemState, Ion-N, Sever, Nevsky, Yamal, Argo, L-923-2, with a yield of 16.4-34.1 t/ha, which is 33.2- 69.0% of the standard. The only sample No.86 for the early harvest is 32% higher than the standard. As a result of the study and a comprehensive assessment of tomato stamping varieties, the biologically early ripened ones are Sever, Nevsky, Ion-N, Otradny, GemState, the sprouting-maturing period of which is 95-99 days; economically early ripened – No.86; amity of ripening of samples – Yamal, Sever, Ion-N, Nevsky, Stamped Alpatyeva 905a, GemState, with maturity ripeness from 69 to 90%. They are a valuable source material for selection of stamped, early-ripening, amity of ripening varieties of tomato for dry subtropics conditions of Uzbekistan.
