Abstract
Developed: hydraulic desk for hydraulic and filtration test of water absorption devices; tested: improved models of column absorbers and their parts of actual size. Hydraulic study evidenced that drain-pipes subject to the diameter carry 4 through 22 L/s across the bottom filter. Filtration study evidenced that the capacity of column-absorbers depends mainly on penetrability of fill filter of the upper cell, water intake area of the mean cell and water stratum on land surface. Hydraulic and filtration model study updated basic parameters of the low and mean cells of three types of the constructions subject to the features of the upper cell. The investigations determined penetration capacity of filter column absorbers: 0/22 L/s (FCA-1); 0.45 L/s (FCA-2); 0.71 L/s (КПФ-3).

Abstract
Drainage improves water condition of soil increasing air penetration and ventilation. Such changes of water profile influence the structure, the density, the porosity and filtration features of the soil as well as drainage. The investigations of three plots in the district of Kaunas revealed that within 30-50 years grain composition of drain and non-drain lands has undergone no changes. The density of drain soil decreased, the structure improved, still humus reduced.In heavy loam soil, the position of the drain line effects the density and filtration of soil; the closer the drain, the less the density; the filtration factor is higher if compared to drain spacing.

Abstract
Presented: data on the productivity of crops (maize, millet, lupine, Lucerne, bird’s-foot, Galega Oriental), cultivated in peat and sand soils of Polessie, organic matter being less 7.0%. Evidenced: organic matter content is not a limiting factor to determine the crop yield. While selecting the most efficientmethods of intensification (list of cultivated crops, application of organic, microand macro fertilizers) on peat and sand lands, it’s possible to yield maize up to 103 centner/hectare, permanent legumes - more than 70, up to 29.5and 33.4 centner/hectare lupine and millet (if cultivated for green fodder) respectively. The green fodder production line combined with fodder crops (lupine with stubbly sowing of fodder millet) will permit to get the forage of high quality. The effect of such technology is 47.2-60.4 centner/hectare. The fodder obtained is rich of protein.

Abstract
Presented: the results of energy estimation of technological process of forage in meadow estates. Evidenced: energy costs for basic technological procedures under meadow reformation of hayfields and pastures. Determined: to complete with the calculations of costs of finish product (total energy costs per feed unit) while estimating and comparing technological methods for energy costs. Calculated: costs of forage at various levels of the meadow land productivity. Higher yields require higher energy costs for application of fertilizers. If compare an advanced technology and a basic one, it’s evident that seed and fuel costs per product unit reduce. The lands serve more if no reformation of meadows is adopted, hence the costs for soil treatment reduce twice, seed consumption reduces 1.5 time, and mineral fertilizers are applied less.

QUESTIONS OF ECOLOGY

Abstract
The contamination of surface and underground water with nitrates is one of the main concerns in nature protection. In the Lithuania the rainfall exceeds significantly the evaporation contributing to soil rinsing and consequently the process of salt leaching of the soil profile and salt production over reclamation area. Nitrogen is lightly washed out as nitrate due to lack of resistance in soil. The investigations of the dynamics of nitrate migration in cores of the original structure evidenced subject to water relationship of soil nitrate diffusion under the utmost soil water conditions, and nitrate migration is 30 time slower than under convective transport of substances.
