Legume grasses occupy a key position in the modern plant production system, serving as the foundation for building a sustainable feed base and maintaining the productivity of agricultural lands. The use of perennial legume crops allows not only for significantly improving the structure of forage lands but also for providing high-quality biological nutrition for the soil cover. For agronomists and owners of home gardens, understanding the mechanisms of these plants' impact on soil fertility is a necessary condition for achieving stable and high yields in the long term.
This collection of materials brings together practical aspects of working with legumes and the principles of soil science. The articles analyze the current state of forage lands and prospects for expanding sowing areas. Readers will find information on crop rotation technologies that allow for the optimization of crop sequences in vegetable farming, as well as an analysis of nutrient accumulation processes through root and stubble residues. The presented materials will help to systematize knowledge about replenishing the organic composition of the soil and the effective use of plant resources to preserve the fertility of the agro-ecosystem.
