Abstract
The success of reforestation is determined by the quality preparation of the forest area, the correct choice of species composition and mixing scheme of cultivated plants, their density, the use of highquality seed and planting material, as well as the timely implementation of agrotechnical and silvicultural care and additions. According to the results of the studies carried out in the subzone of hornbeam-oakdark coniferous forests, it was found that the determining factor influencing the growth and development of forest plantations is the timely and high-quality maintenance of forest plantations. In fresh types of habitat conditions, already in the first year of growing forest crops, herbaceous vegetation receives a powerful development. In the absence of agrotechnical care, crops fall under the canopy of grass cover and grow under its influence. The oppression of crops is manifested in the weak development of the assimilation apparatus and the root system. Ensuring the high-quality cultivation of forest crops is possible, among other things, by increasing the share of mechanization at all stages of cultivation, including the preparation of a forest cultivation area, the creation, and maintenance. In the course of the research, it was found that carrying out mechanized care on a large area of non-closed forest crops is difficult due to the violation of crop creation technologies.
