Cost estimation of professional reputation of agricultural business in the republic of belarus
Professional reputation (goodwill) is an intricate and inconsistent phenomenon. But goodwill is that helps to include such agents of production like operation of the business system more exactly without which it is impossible to compete in the modern market. The increase of the investors’ interest in the enterprise acquisition at the price of contract needs to carry out previous restructing to make investments more attractive. When an enterprise is sold, positive goodwill gets bonus to the price. Such a bonus is a kind of hope for future economic benefits. The size of negative goodwill helps to evaluate the depth of the crisis and how many resources are needed to overcome the crisis when agricultural organizations are under reformation.

Change in the fertility of sod-podzolic soils under the conditions of long Application of elevated norms of fertilizers
The investigations carried out at the Grodno State University have shown that the long use of organic, mineral and lime fertilizers on light sod-podzolic soils increases the content of humus by 0.46–0.63%, of total nitrogen – by 110–170 mg/kg, the number of movable forms of phosphorus is increased by 45–68, potassium – by 47–61 mg/kg of soil, magnesium and calcium – by 15–36%, copper, zinc and boron – by 50–143%. The activity of soil enzymes – catalases and cellulase enhances, the nitrification ability of soils grows. More essential changes in the soil fertility are found for sandy soil. However essential changes in the direction of soil processes when acted upon by fertilizers are not seen – the invariable structure of the nitrogen fund and the carbon-nitrogen relation in soils are preserved.

Influence of long -term application of fertilizers on the lability of humus substances of sod-podzolic light loam soil
As a result of carrying out researches in long-term field experiments on sod-podzolic light loam soil it is established that the liming of soil decreased the absolute and relative contents of carbon of labile fraction humus substances, on the average,by 1003 mg/kg and 9.91 %. The application of mineral fertilizers promoted the increase both in absolute and relative contents of mobile humus substances. Manure in a dose of 12.5 t/ha crop rotation areas reduced the relative share of mobile humus compounds in increasing their absolute contents. The greatest supplies of mobile compounds of humus were provided by organic-mineral fertilization: in strong acid soil – 11592 kg/ha, by soil acidity optimization – 9067 kg of carbon per 1 ha.

Efficiency of complex and separate application of cas (mixture of carbamide and ammonium saltpeter solution, 30% n) with growth regulators and microfertilizers at cultivation of оаts on sod-podzolic light loam soil
The article presents the three-year research results on the efficiency of combination of operations of introducing growth regulators and complex microfertilizers being applied separately and jointly with CAS (mixture of carbamide and ammonium saltpeter solution, 30% N) on oats. The action of the studied preparations on qualitative and quantitative parameters of crops is estimated: the area of a sheet surface, productivity, payback of fertilizers, weight of 1000 grains, maintenance and yield of crude protein. The calculations of the net profit and the profitability level have revealed that joint entering CAS with the studied preparations is more preferable in comparison with separate one, which is caused by the growth of the analyzed indicators.

Technology of growing replacement pigs for industrial breeding
Studies on perfection of replacement pigs growing technology at industrial complexes are carried out. It is determined that passing gilts to the insemination section is good to carry out considering individual traits of animals’ maturation. Their live weight should be not less than 115 kg. It lets us cut the growing period at 14 days (5.4%) and the quantity of gilts not in rut – at 3.4%. Early transition of pigs in the industrial area of a complex promotes better adaptation and lets us get 1.4% more farrowings without the litter size decrease. Sows of industrial herd of a complex should correspond to transitional type parameters that are able to resist unfavorable factors of industrial technology.
