Mineral fertilizers are products of industrial or fossil origin that provide crops with essential nutrients in an available mineral form. Sound plant nutrition management is the foundation of modern agriculture, directly influencing yield, product quality characteristics such as potato starch content or the biochemical composition of vegetables, and the overall economic efficiency of the farm. A systematic approach to the selection and application of fertilizers allows not only for increasing crop productivity but also for reducing the risks of negative environmental impact.
This selection contains a practical guide to working with mineral fertilizers at all stages: from choosing specific types — nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, or complex magnesium compounds — to their storage and application in field and greenhouse conditions. Readers will find methodologies for calculating application rates, rules for mixing components, recommendations for assessing cultivar responsiveness to top dressing, and safety requirements. The materials will help optimize technological processes, organize logistics, and master modern methods of plant nutrition that ensure a stable and high-quality harvest.
Irrigation For agronomists
The article describes modern approaches to yield programming based on the analysis of bioclimatic factors. The principles of the climate-yield simulation system are examined, which models the processes of energy and mass exchange, soil moisture dynamics, and agroecosystem productivity.
Irrigation For agronomists
To ensure high yields, irrigation regimes must be adapted to the biological needs of crops and variable weather conditions. The article examines the principles of rational water use and the problems of accounting for water consumption during the operation of irrigation systems
Plant protection For agronomists
Microbial agents of fungal and bacterial nature allow for accelerating organic matter processing and enriching the fertilizer composition. The article presents global experience in the application of biological preparations for increasing soil fertility
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners

Crop production For students
Triticale is a hybrid crop, combining the ecological plasticity of rye with the high yield of wheat. The article describes the biological groups, nutritional value, and utilization areas of this promising grain crop
Crop production For students
Wheat is the most important grain crop, providing food for the majority of the world's population. This article examines its nutritional value, global production figures, and the distribution geography of winter and spring forms
Crop production For students
The article examines the evolution of farming systems as a complex of agrotechnical measures aimed at increasing soil fertility. You will learn about the key stages of agronomy development and the criteria for classifying systems into primitive, extensive, transitional, and intensive
Vegetable growing For students
Regulation of vegetable crop growth is achieved through pruning, surgical methods, and optimization of planting dates. These techniques help redirect nutrients to the fruits and significantly increase the total yield
