Abstract

This work reviews the relation of the grain-size distribution and impact of the use of rice rotation soils on the main agrophysical indicators of soils that determine the composition and properties of soil cover of modern delta of Kuban. The regularities of dependence between the density of the matrix soil and the grain-size distribution that consist of mineral composition of alluvial soils and rocks have been identified. The trend towards increase in soil density with increase in physical clay and silt content, as well as increase in matrix soil density has been established. No significant differences in agrophysical properties of subsurface soil horizons and underlying formations have been identified. The agrophysical indicators of soils of rice fields and boharic analogues during their agricultural use have been assessed. The hydromorphic soil-forming processes did not lead to considerable changes in agrophysical properties of alluvial formations and soils involved in rice rotation.
