VERIFICATION OF THE METHOD OF DETERMINING THE SUITABILITY OF SOIL AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ORGANIC CROP PRODUCTS OF STANDARDIZED QUALITY

Abstract

The article presents the results of verification of the method of determining the suitability of soil and climatic conditions for the production of organic crop products of standardized quality on the example of winter wheat. The study was conducted in the Cherkasy region, which identified areas with full compliance with the requirements of the culture of temperature, areas with insufficient fertility and areas with possible negative impact of rainfall. Verification of the method was carried out on the basis of FG AF "Basis", which is located in the Uman district of Cherkasy region. Theoretical calculations show that according to the results of ecological and agrochemical certification and long-term climatic data, in the conditions of Uman district it is possible to get grain of winter wheat of 1 class of quality. However, a more detailed study of soil and climatic conditions at the level of local development (FG AF "Basis") showed deviations from the optimal values of individual soil parameters (nitrogen content) and climatic characteristics (precipitation) for the formation of winter wheat plants of high quality grain. Determination of the content of mass fraction of protein and crude gluten in winter wheat grain confirmed this assumption - plants formed grain of only 3 quality classes. The results of the study show that in order to obtain organic crop products of standardized quality, producers (operators) of organic production must take into account the requirements of culture to soil and climatic conditions, which in turn requires organic production operators to take into account soil and climatic conditions and at the local level of landscaping.
