Abstract

Abstract The paper analyses certain aspects of organic agriculture and emphasises the need for an integrated approach in its research. The necessity of using ecologically safe agricultural production as a component of the development of modern civilized states is pointed out in the paper. The method of direct conductometry has been used to study the total mineral composition of plowed soils, which is considered as a component of “green” chemistry methods. The electrical conductivity of aqueous extracts of arable soils, in which mineral and organic fertilizers are applied, is measured. The obtained data vary between 10 and 220 μS. In the paper, for the first time, the regularities of fluctuations of the data of electrical conductivity of aqueous extracts of arable soils, in which various plant cultures had been grown, were revealed and mineral nitrogen fertilizers or organic fertilizers were introduced. Lower data of electrical conductivity are characteristic of plowed soils, in which mineral fertilizers are applied, which indirectly indicates their depletion. The advantage of using organic fertilizers as a necessary component of organic agriculture has been confirmed. It is noted that a promising area of the research is a complete use of an integrated approach to the organic agriculture being farmed in various European countries.

Highlights

  • Empirical approaches were used to analyse the state of organic agriculture in Ukraine, Environmental and Climate Technologies 2020 / 24 in particular, aqueous extracts of soil samples were experimentally investigated by express and environmentally safe conductometric method, data were processed by using standard statistical methods

  • As mentioned above, and are recommended for use in organic agriculture

  • There is a significant variation in the values of electrical conductivities of aqueous extract s of the soil in agricultural fields sown by various crops both in one and several fields

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Modern times are characterised by the aggravation of diverse environmental problems, which are increasingly called the common problems of world development This applies to the problem of improving agricultural production. With the existing approaches to economic management and the rate of consumption, the problem of the complete exhaustion of natural resources is greatly exacerbated In this respect, the problem of the introduction and development of organic agriculture, hereinafter referred to as OА, is important. The problem of the introduction and development of organic agriculture, hereinafter referred to as OА, is important Such management is a complex system based on a set of methods and resources that provide a viable ecosystem, safe food, healthy food, animal welfare and , human security as the highest social value and social justice. We should talk about the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals 2016–2030, which are being implemented in many countries according to the strategic approach of the United Nations Organisation, in particular, the issue of creating a sustainable food production system, which contributes to preserving the ecosystem and gradually improving the quality of land
