METHOD OF RECREATIONAL GROWTH POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A01G7/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method of growth potential determination consisting in calculation of growth load, characterised by the fact that ruderal, meadow and permanent vegetation per 1 m² is evaluated with the capacity of meadow, permanent and ruderal species being specified and the growth potential calculated by formula: RP=0.9+0.07 - capacity-0.005·MeRu+0.03·P; where: RP is a valuation multiple (units), capacity is the capacity of the species (pcs.), MeRu is a percentage of the meadow and ruderal species (%), M is a percentage of the permanent species (%), and RP is used to assess the recreational growth potential: RP <2.5 units - low recreational potential, 2.5≤RP≤3.5 units - medium recreational potential, 3.5 and more - high recreational potential.

EFFECT: method allows for better control of the condition of natural complexes.
