Global climate change and the creation of adapted varieties of forage crops

In Russian agriculture, forage crops play a huge role as a source of high-grade animal feed and as the main factor in the ecology of the entire agriculture. Forage crops are the main source of the main factors of increasing the humus content in soils, as the main indicator of their fertility, they can most successfully combat wind and water erosion, they are the most successful of all crops can grow on the poorest and most problematic soils (saline, arid, waterlogged, etc.). We are pioneers in the cultivation of basic food crops. This determines the primary role of forage crops in responding to climate change throughout Eurasia. In past periods of history, global climate change has led to serious social upheavals precisely because of the sharp decline in agricultural production, crop failures and even the subsequent population decline in individual countries [1]. Timely response to such changes by creating varieties adapted to new environmental constraints will not only successfully overcome the expected crisis, but also benefit from such changes. In addition to the use of traditional methods, great hopes are pinned on the widespread use of modern genetic technologies, biochemical and physiological methods, methods of cell and tissue cultivation.
