Soil analysis is the fundamental basis for efficient farming, allowing for an objective assessment of the growth medium's condition and the forecasting of crop yields. Understanding the chemical composition of the soil and the processes occurring within it is essential for both professional agronomists and private growers. Based on the classical scientific works of D. N. Pryanishnikov and K. K. Gedroyts, modern agrochemistry makes it possible to take a scientifically grounded approach to soil fertility issues, prevent the accumulation of harmful substances, and optimize plant nutrition systems in various conditions — from greenhouse complexes to vineyards.
The presented selection brings together a wide range of materials: from field experiment methodology to highly specialized laboratory techniques. Readers will find information on the principles of preparing soil samples for pesticide residue analysis, methods for diagnosing mineral nutrition in grapes, and techniques for creating optimal mixtures for protected soil. Also examined here are the technological aspects of seed treatment, which complement a comprehensive approach to managing soil fertility. These articles will help to systematize knowledge about soil diagnostics and implement precise assessment methods in everyday agronomic practice.
Agrochemistry For students
The article examines the process of forming the domestic agrochemical school and creating the production base for fertilizers in the first half of the 20th century. The reader will learn about the scale of the first field trials and the evolution of specialized scientific journals
Agrochemistry For students
Field experiment is the main tool for evaluating the efficiency of fertilizers and farming practices. The article examines the key types of experiments, their objectives and the requirements for the methodology of conducting research on soils intended for different purposes.
Plant protection For agronomists
Soil pesticide control is essential for effective crop rotation; however, complex sample preparation accounts for 60% of the analysis cost. The article examines sample preparation stages, the influence of soil composition, and the solubility of active ingredients to optimize laboratory research.
Nutrition and fertilizers For gardeners
The article examines the rules for preparing greenhouse soil and the application rates of basic mineral and organic fertilizers. You will learn how to create optimal conditions for crop nutrition in protected ground
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.
Vegetable growing For students
Comprehensive pre-sowing preparation protects seed from pathogens and helps seedlings overcome stress conditions. The article describes methods of density-based sorting, disinfection technologies, encrusting, and thermal treatment of seed of popular vegetable crops
