TRENDS OF CURRENT DYNAMICS OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES IN THE SOILS OF ODESSA REGION

Abstract

Results of chemical processes’ dynamic studies of many years (1971-2011) in the soils of Odessa Region have been described. The most significant in the last 15-20 years have been changes of humus content and ecological & agrochemical status of black soils. In spite of some increase in the norm of fertilizers input for the last 5 years the negative balance of plant nutrition elements in soils is preserved. Ways of optimization of humus and ecological & agrochemical status of soils in the region and increase of their fertility have been proposed.
