The purpose of the study is to present the current state of winter wheat protection and to emphasize the need to carry out scientific work related to testing new preparations for plant protection.The paper includes the scheme of experiments, the name of the variants and their content, the characteristics of the pedoclimatic conditions during the testing work, the results obtained, budget planning, conclusions and recommendations.In the 2023-2024 growing season, weather conditions were favorable both for the growth and development of winter wheat crops, and for the spread and further development of the main pests of this crop. The results proved that the insecticide ST 36 SC, at an application rate of 1.0 L/t of seeds is the most effective in controlling wheat pests.

The collection and storage of plant germplasm is a modern system for biodiversity conservation, which allows the storage of a large number of samples in a relatively small space. The stability of plant biodiversity is ensured by the synergy of in situ and ex situ conservation strategies.

Due to their longevity, high wood density, extensive root systems, and large biomass, oaks play a significant role in terrestrial carbon cycling and long-term carbon storage. However, a comprehensive synthesis of the contribution of oak forests to carbon sequestration remains limited. This review integrates a systematic bibliometric assessment with a qualitative synthesis of the peerreviewed literature to evaluate the role of oak species and oak-dominated forests in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. A total of 656 publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science were analyzed, revealing increasing research activity after 2008 and a broad geographic distribution of studies, with the highest contributions from the United States, Spain, China, and Germany. The reviewed studies demonstrate that oak ecosystems function as substantial and durable carbon sinks, storing carbon in aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, deadwood, litter, and soil organic carbon pools. Carbon sequestration is influenced by stand age, site conditions, species composition, and management practices. This review highlights oak forests as resilient, multifunctional ecosystems, with a critical role in nature-based climate solutions and sustainable forest management.
