ABSTRACT

The humus state of the treated soils is dynamic and depends on soil and climatic conditions and agrotechnical measures. The research made it possible to assess the magnitude and direction of changes in the humus regime of sodpodzolic soil under the influence of agrotechnologies and natural factors. As a result of the research, it was found that agrotechnologies using combined tillage in crop rotation, the application of perennial grasses, sideral crops, the use of straw and organic fertilizers optimized the humus state of the soil, which ultimately contributed to the sustainability of agricultural production.
