Abstract

Original article. Soil moisture capacity is critical for nutrient cycling, agricultural productivity, erosion resistance. Organic fertilizers improve a wide range of soil properties, including soil structure and water retention. Fertilizers can quickly provide plants with the necessary nutrients. In the work, studies were carried out on the effect of zoocompost obtained by growing the Black Lion fly on the moisture capacity and moisture retention of the soil. The zoocompost of the Black soldier fly larva is a finely granulated, loose, non-caking mass of brown color with a predominant particle size of 0.5‑3 mm. It was found that the addition of a zoo-compost of a Black Lion fly larva in the amount of 60 t / ha increases the moisture capacity by 43%, and increases the drying time of the soil to the initial humidity by 18 days.
