Structure of acreage for the Republic of North Ossetia — Alania

Abstract

Relevance. The most important condition for the growth of crop production is the correct use of arable land, improving the structure of crops. Methodology . The research was carried out on the basis of the scientific principles and approaches set out in the methodological guidelines: “Agroecological assessment of land, design of adaptive landscape systems of agriculture and agrotechnologies” (Moscow: RASKHN, 2005, ed. academicians of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences A.L. Ivanov and V.I. Kiryushin). Results. For a more efficient use of arable land, increasing the yield of major agricultural crops, meeting the needs of farms with crop production, improving soil fertility, we have developed a structure of sown areas taking into account the specific agro-climatic conditions of the regions. Mozdok district: winter cereals in the structure of sown areas should occupy 42%, corn for grain — 15%, legumes — 7%, sunflower — 12%, fodder —16–17%. Kirovsky district: in the structure of sown areas, winter cereals should occupy 31%, corn for grain — 32%, legumes — 7%, fodder — 16–17%. Alagirsky district: for winter crops in the structure of sown areas it is necessary to allocate 22% of arable land, for corn for grain — 34%, industrial and vegetables — 7%, fodder crops up to 37–40%. Irafsky district: winter crops in the structure of sown areas should occupy 22%, corn for grain — 30%, fodder crops — up to 45%. Digorsky district: in the structure of sown areas, winter crops should occupy 28%, corn for grain — 30%, legumes — 7%, forage crops — up to 30%. Right-bank region: winter cereals — 26%, corn for grain — 30%, legumes — 7%, industrial crops and vegetables — 14%, fodder — 23%. Prigorodny district: the share of winter grains should account for 32% of arable land, corn for grain — 27%, potatoes and vegetables — 19% and forage crops — 17%. Ardon region: winter cereals — 27%, corn for grain — 27%, legumes — 7%, potatoes and vegetables — 11%, forage crops — 28%.
