Influence of agroecological conditions on development of grain-crop diseases The paper is aimed at: • studying the state-of-the-art modelling of the processes for formation and development of fungus diseases in grain-crops (brown rust is treated as a case in point) • studying organic traits of Pucciniarecondita fungus • making assessment of influence of climate conditions on the processes of development and propagation of brown rust under the conditions in the South of Ukraine • making a model for seasonal development of brown rust as applied to conditions in the territory of the Odessa province

7. Assessment of influence of weather conditions on protein and gluten accumulation in winter wheat grains in the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine The paper is aimed at: • studying a research object • studying the existent methods for assessment of grain-crop yield quality • conducting a research into influence of weather conditions on formation of protein content in a winter wheat grain

8. Assessment of influence of agroecological conditions on the beet webworm (Loxostegesticticalis) population dynamics in the Luhansk province The paper is aimed at: • studying organic traits of the pest • assessment of the conditions that has taken shape as regards the heat and moisture supply for the territories in the Luhansk province • assessment of influence of agroecological conditions on the beet webworm (Loxostegesticticalis) population dynamics • calculation of quantitative relations between a state of pest populations and indices of heat and moisture supply in an area

9. Assessment of influence of weather conditions on accumulation of sugar in sugar beet root crops in the Kirovohrad province The paper is aimed at: • studying biological peculiarities of the crop • studying the existent methods for assessment of sugar beet yield quality • conducting a research into influence of weather conditions on formation of the content of sugar in the root crops as applied to the territory of the Kirovohrad province
