A paradigm shift in the agricultural system in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The article presents an overview of the environmental and economic consequences of chemicalization in crop production of the Murmansk region. Proposed is a way to overcome the current situation in the industry through alternative biological sources of increasing soil fertility. Three original varieties of lupines inoculated with a highly effective strain of nodule bacteria Rhizobium lupini were studied in a production experiment. The fodder value of green mass was calculated. Microbiological and agrochemical analyzes of soil in areas with alternative and traditional agricultural technologies were carried out.
