V.F. Kuprevich Institute of Experimental Botany offers consumers a technology for the development and implementation of a complex of agrotechnical, technological, forestry measures for the arrangement and maintenance of protective snow-retaining tree and shrub plantations along highways under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and is looking for partners to conclude a technical cooperation agreement.

The developed set of measures, which was used to prepare the draft TCP 337 "Roads. Rules for improvement and gardening".
The text of the document is available only to users of the ETALON-ONLINE system.

Annual economic efficiency per 1 kilometer of protective plantings is
* $9,250 compared to preventive de-icing;
* $3,680 compared to snow removal;
* $1,500 compared to installing snow shields;
* $950 compared to snow net installation.

Ecological efficiency was calculated in accordance with TCP 17.02-10-2013 (02120) "Environmental protection and nature management. The procedure for conducting a valuation of ecosystem services and determining the value of biological diversity" and amounts to 119 thousand US dollars per 1 kilometer of the road.

The set of measures was transferred to the traffic safety laboratory of the Road Safety and Maintenance Department of the Republican Subsidiary Unitary Enterprise "Belarusian Road Research Institute "BeldorNII"". Agreed with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Belarus (letter No. 3-9/198-vn dated January 25, 2017) and approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Belarus dated April 18, 2017 TKP 337 / PR (33200) "Automobile roads. Rules for landscaping and landscaping" came into force on 07/01/2017.

V.F. Kuprevich Institute of Experimental Botany of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus is the oldest biological research institution in the republic.

The main activities of the Institute:
* assessment of the impact of new construction (reconstruction) and economic activities on flora objects;
* ecotourism and eco-education: design and information support of ecological trails, visitor centers and forest eco-educational centers, development of promotional products;
* assessment of the degree of infestation of the fertile soil layer with viable seeds of Sosnowsky's hogweed and the development of ways to combat this dangerous invasive species;
* development and production of artificial substrates for reproduction and cultivation of plants;
* creation of compositions of growth regulators and plant protection products, as well as technologies for their application;
* testing of plant protection products subject to state registration (for tree and shrub species in forest, protective, landscaping plantations, forest plantations and nurseries, as well as for flax).

Extensive research has been carried out at the Institute, as a result of which the distribution and stocks of the most important types of medicinal plants in the republic have been established; the dynamics of medicinal plant resources was revealed, recommendations for their rational use were developed; the chorological features of the flora of Belarus were clarified, which was the basis for the development of specific measures for the protection of individual representatives and floristic complexes as a whole. The Institute has a priority in studying the patterns of flora formation, features of ecology and biology of plant species, the structure and composition of their populations under extreme growing conditions, as well as the taxonomic study of individual species and genera of plants of the Belarusian flora.

The Institute studies the patterns of distribution and formation of natural vegetation in Belarus, the structure and productivity of plant communities, the dynamics and direction of successional processes in the vegetation cover. The scientific bases for the rational use of plant resources and the protection of the flora, the theoretical foundations and principles for the classification of vegetation, the typological classification of the forests of Belarus, the forest and geobotanical zoning of the republic, the scientific foundations of forestry on zonal-typological principles are being developed.
A collection of pure cultures of micromycetes, deuteromycetes, consisting of 55 species (more than 300 strains), 400 strains of bacteria identified to the genus, isolated fr om the rhizosphere and phylloplana of leguminous plants and potatoes, has been created.

The Institute conducts comprehensive research to develop the fundamental foundations of modern sustainable and environmentally friendly crop production, substantiates the effectiveness of the use of new forms of preparations for agriculture, develops ways to lim it the spread of invasive plant species, creates environmentally safe and cost-effective technologies for using biotechnological production waste as secondary material resources, which allows us to successfully search for methods that combine the ecological orientation of extensive agriculture and the advantages of knowledge-intensive intensive food production, to offer new ways to stimulate productivity.

The Institute maintains international relations within the framework of existing agreements on scientific and technical cooperation, agreements and memorandums on scientific and technical (creative) cooperation with relevant organizations from different countries.
