Chemical amelioration is a complex of agrotechnical measures aimed at the targeted modification of soil properties to create optimal conditions for crop development. Understanding the chemical processes occurring in the soil adsorption complex is essential for both professional agronomists and land owners. Regulating the acid-base balance and properly enriching the soil with macro- and micronutrients allow not only for increasing yield, but also for preventing land degradation, ensuring the environmental safety of agricultural production.
This selection combines materials covering theoretical and applied aspects of working with soil. Readers will find information here on the evolution of the national agrochemical school, the influence of sulfur on plant productivity, and methods for optimizing mineral nutrition. We have also paid attention to practical issues: the selection of specialized substrates with specified pH characteristics, the assessment of soil fertility, and environmentally responsible technologies for fertilizer application. These materials will help to build a systematic approach to managing the nutrient regime at any level — from a private garden to a large agricultural enterprise.
Agrochemistry For students
Sulfur is a critical nutrient, the reserves of which in soils are rapidly depleting due to the intensification of agriculture. The article examines the causes of sulfur deficiency, current methods for diagnosing soil availability, and the biological characteristics of this element's uptake by plants.
Agrochemistry For students
Rational use of fertilizers allows for reducing farm financial losses and preventing environmental pollution. The article examines methods of precise nutrient distribution and technologies for increasing nitrogen fertilizer efficiency.
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the key characteristics and composition of Seliger Agro specialized substrates based on natural peat. Readers will learn about the role of biologically active additives and the specifics of using soil for various groups of ornamental and fruit-berry crops.
Agrochemistry For students
The article covers the development of the Russian school of agricultural chemistry since the 18th century and reveals the fundamental principles of plant nutrition, which remain relevant for modern farming practices
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
Fertilizer efficiency directly depends on the nutrient reserves and their form in the soil. The article covers the principles of plant nutrition, features of nitrogen metabolism, and methods for calculating top dressing rates based on agrochemical analysis
