Soil fertility

Soil fertility is the foundation of efficient farming and the key to the stable productivity of agroecosystems. Understanding the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring within the soil profile is essential for the competent management of crop nutrition and the preservation of land resource quality. This collection examines both the theoretical foundations of soil potential and practical tools: from the application of modern bacterial preparations, zeolites, and organic residues to methods for the scientific assessment of fertilizer efficiency.

The materials cover a wide range of topics: from fundamental works by classical domestic agrochemists to modern methods of conducting field trials. Readers will learn about the role of earthworms and microorganisms in humification, the influence of redox processes on the availability of nutrients, and the connection between the culture of farming and the level of a society's socio-economic development. The articles will help specialists and practitioners systematize their knowledge of optimizing the nutrition of agricultural crops and methods for restoring soil fertility under modern crop production systems.

Agrochemistry For students

Optimizing mineral nutrition of vegetable crops and potatoes

To increase the yield and quality of vegetables, it is necessary to regulate the composition of fertilizer depending on the biology of a specific crop and soil conditions. The article provides information on the chemical composition of vegetable plants and potatoes, which is important for the proper management of agricultural crop nutrition

Vegetable growing For gardeners

Agrotechnology of tomato seedlings cultivation in protected soil

The article describes the main stages of tomato seedling care in protected soil, including methods of non-pricking cultivation and microclimate regulation. You will learn about proper irrigation regimes, application of mineral top dressing and the importance of night temperature reduction for plant development

Irrigation For agronomists

Methods of yield programming and crop water consumption forecasting

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.
