Starting from March 14, the Online Lecture Series “Conservation Agriculture Systems No-till and Strip-till” was created by the Green Agro Solutions NGO together with scientists of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NUBIP of Ukraine), practitioners, farmers, and successful agricultural producers.
The online cycle is based on the training course “No-till and Strip-till Conservation Agriculture Systems” for masters. The course uses two textbooks: “Conservation Agriculture System NO-TILL and STRIP-TILL” and “Conservation Agriculture in Ukraine”.
Nine online lectures have already been held, covering various tillage systems, basics of soil science, nutrition systems, adaptation to climate change, use of cover crops, application of microbiological preparations, and regenerative agriculture. By the end of July, it is planned to test the knowledge of students who have attended most of the lectures and issue certificates.
The speakers of this cycle are:
Mykola Kosolap, FAO National Expert on Conservation Agriculture, Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Agriculture and Herbology, NUBIP of Ukraine.
Mykola Bykov, Agronomy Advisor (certificate No. 26/2017/2) FAO National Expert on Conservation Agriculture (2021-23)
These experts are members of the scientific group for the development of Regenerative Practices in Ukraine.
