INCREASING PRODUCTNITY OF LANDS IN THE NON-CHERNOZEM ZONE

[Article by VASKhNIL Academician T.N. Kulakovskaya: "Basic Directions for Raising
- Productivity of. Land in the Non-Chernozem Zone"]
[Text] Among the important factors associated wtth achieving high land productiviry,
special valite is attached to raising the level of soil f9rtility. "The dApendence
of a plant upon soil is becoming more clear and more obvious" wrote K.A. Timiryazev,
"At the same tiiiie, this factor lies within man's control moreso than the ramaining
- Eactors [9].
A large amount of experimental data obtained from all of the soil-climatic zones
confirms this most imporrant statute of the agrobiological science. But it is of
special importance for the non-chernozem zone, where the conditions and charactex of
- the soil formation processes have led to the foxmation of low productivity soils
and consi.clerable divers:tty in the soil cover.
As revealed (see Table 1) by thc: results obtained from 317 experiments carried out
with grain crops, conducted in Belorussia on soils of varying degrees o� fertili.ty,
. the latter determines up to 40-50 percent of the total amount of yield from'less
tamed soils and this yield proportion increases to 80-85 percent for toils
characterized by a high degree of continuous cultivation, which is created as a
result of the purposeful effect of ineans of intensification.
The possibility of doubling or even tripling the yields obtained from sod-podzolic
soils, by achieving optimum parameters for their fertility [3, 6, 8], has been
- proven by studies carried out by many authors.
The present system of accoi,nting and control over the status of land areas, based
upon the soil and agrochemical services and the results of studies associated with
