Understanding the chemical composition of crops and soil resources is the foundation of modern agronomy. Knowing which biologically active substances, minerals, and carbohydrate complexes are contained in fruits, vegetables, and forage crops allows not only for predicting yield but also for purposefully managing product quality. This collection examines both the physicochemical properties of fertilizers, including vermicompost and liquid manure, and the mechanisms of mineral nutrition's impact on plant development. This knowledge is essential for the competent construction of agrotechnologies that ensure balanced crop development and the ecological safety of production.
The materials in this section cover a wide range of topics: from the basics of mineral nutrition and humus formation processes to methods of diagnosing plant nutrient requirements. Readers will find detailed analyses of the biochemical composition of potatoes, apple and pome fruits, as well as theoretical foundations established by the works of classical domestic agrochemists. The articles explain the relationship between soil composition, fertilizer application regimes, and final crop quality indicators. The collection is intended for specialists and practitioners who strive to systematize their knowledge of chemical processes in agricultural systems and increase the efficiency of their agrotechnical solutions.
Agrochemistry For students
The article describes the mechanisms of rock weathering and their transformation into loose soil components. You will learn how the interaction of physical, chemical, and biological factors forms the mineral basis of the future soil
Agrochemistry For students
For proper development and completion of the life cycle, plants require 17 chemical elements, the deficiency of which blocks the growth of the crop. The article presents a classification of nutrients according to the level of their accumulation in dry matter: from macronutrients to ultramicronutrients
Viticulture For agronomists
The article examines key methods for determining the mineral nutrition level of grapes, including visual methods, injections, laboratory research, and soil analysis. The author analyzes the possibilities and limitations of each approach in the context of modern viticulture.
Viticulture For agronomists
Grape yield and quality directly depend on the physical properties of the soil and the characteristics of deep horizons. The article explains why the choice of site is critical for vine development and which soil parameters determine the success of viticulture.
Crop production For students
The article examines methods for the precise calculation of nitrogen fertilizer application rates and rules for split top dressing of winter crops. Key aspects of soil liming to increase the efficiency of agrochemical measures are also covered
