Features of creating fast-growing and multifunctional field-protecting forest strips in the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine

To ensure the maximum protection of agricultural crops from climatic factors unfavorable for their growth and development, it is necessary to create an optimal number field forest strips. In particular, Forest-Steppe zone Ukraine, less than half needs are available, which indicates urgent need additional creation. The expediency creating fast-growing multifunctional strips substantiated, productivity new bioenergy during formation use in beekeeping as biofuel determined. For this purpose, a model artificial strip with its possible further exploitation proposed. most one develop concept tree species, which, addition function wind, water dust retention, will also perform other economic tasks. along intended they can be used raw materials production early honey plants. accelerated creation strips, advisable mixed 6–8- row plantings, where middle 2–3 rows planted involvement including species valuable beekeeping. These complemented on both sides by energy crops, important resource obtaining fuel materials. plant 10–12 thousand pieces hectare poplar cuttings (Populus sp.), 1250 paulownia plants (Paulownia tomentosa Steud.) width 2×4 m 17–18 willow (Salix viminalis L.). It replace part common robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) linden (Tilia cordata Mill.). such plantations near settlements contribute significant quite effective carrying out main ecological stabilization agro-landscapes.
