Main areas of research:

• Reasons, dynamics, and conditions for pathogenic processes occurring in forest stands
• Nature of tree differentiation by their state when exposed to endemic pathogenic processes
• Pathogenic processes occurrence and preventing their development.

Findings:

• developed methodological recommendations on how to protect seedlings growing on the field and under cover from heeling and pine-leaf cast;
• recommendations on how to increase stand resistance with main forest-forming species where pathological processes occur;
• recommendations on usage herbicide preparations to carry out chemical weeding in pine crops in Ukrainian Forest-Steppe and Polissia;
• recommendations on planting pine crops resistant to pathogenic factors in Polissia;
• methodological instructions on data obtaining for subcompartment database of forest stands in Ukraine with pathological processes;
• guidelines on how to carry out both forming cutting and sanitary cutting; directives on forestry management in Lower Dnipro Region forests;
• recomendations on how to increase resistance of stands on old-arable soil to pathogenic factors;
• Scientifically grounded a qualitative assessment of pathological processes dynamics in Ukrainian forests; recommendations on improving state of stands on drained soils. 

Research prospects :

• Development of the system of forest pathology monitoring
• Development of models of a complex impact of pathogenic processes upon stands and specifying peculiarities in forest management under climate change
• Consideration of the microcloning method for oak species resistant to powdery mildew
• Defining urgent activities for forest enterprises to protect and preserve forests
• Testing new preparations aimed at protecting planting material and seedlings of commercialy valuable forest species from diseases and pests.
