[Analysis of the strategy for the use of protective measures in agriculture after the accident at the Chernobyl power plant].

Justification of the methodological approach to evaluating effectiveness of the countermeasure strategies in agricultural production on contaminated territories is provided. The results from a comparative analysis of strategies for protective measures in agriculture after the Chernobyl NPP accident are presented. The time between radioactive fallout and application of countermeasures is shown to be one of the main factors responsible for effectiveness of countermeasures applied.
