AGROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES MONITORING OF THE VARIOUS LANDS WITHIN THE AGROLANDSCAPE

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a statistical analysis of data on long-term monitoring of the agrochemical properties of soils of various lands within the reclaimed agrolandscape. Research was conducted in 1997-2012. on the agroecological transect of the VNIIMZ polygon - a narrow field 1300 m long that intersects all the main landscape positions of the end moraine hill. During the monitoring, two rounds of agrochemical surveys of the transect territory were carried out: 1. In 1997, the initial state of the soils was investigated; 2. In 2012, the state of the soils of the output field and crop rotation array. Agrochemical parameters of soils (various types of acidity, content of plant nutrients and humus) were determined at the sampling points regularly located along the transect. The research results were statistically processed based on the STATGRAPHICS plus package. It was revealed that during the research, the same type of evolution of the agrochemical parameters of soils of different lands occurred - acidification of soils, loss of the basic elements of plant nutrition during the accumulation of humus are observed everywhere. By 2012, the spatial variability of most agrochemical parameters of soils of different lands mainly began to depend on the granulometric composition of soils. A significant difference was found in the mechanism of soil loss of potassium and phosphorus - potassium migration mainly depends on the intensity of eluvial processes in the agrolandscape, and phosphorus moves laterally along the plow sole. Based on the results obtained, it is possible to develop a system of adaptive land allocation in an agrolandscape, which allows controlling degradation processes in soils.
