Chemical analysis is the foundation of modern agronomy, allowing yield management to be moved from the realm of conjecture to precise calculation. For specialists and experienced gardeners, it serves as a key tool for assessing the condition of the nutrient medium, whether it be open soil or greenhouse substrates. Understanding the actual content of available nutrients in the soil is necessary for developing rational fertilizer application strategies that meet crop requirements at different stages of their life cycle.
This collection gathers materials covering both the theoretical aspects of soil fertility and practical techniques for work in field and protected conditions. Readers will find recommendations on methodologies for conducting agrochemical experiments, rules for seed treatment before sowing, and the specifics of nutrition for perennial and vegetable crops. The presented articles will help to systematize the approach to planning agrochemical research and optimize the top dressing system, based on objective indicators of fertility and the specific requirements of the plants being grown.
