EFFECT OF FERTILIZER APPLICATION SYSTEMS ON THE DYNAMICS OF AGROCHEMICAL, AGRO PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF SOIL AND WASTE SOIL MEZOFAUNA

Abstract

Pesticides alter the biological properties of the soil, leading to a complete loss of their fertility. Chestnut soils (meadow brown, light brown) are resistant to contamination by pesticides and by fertilizers in particular. We have carried out studies on the effect of the examined soil pollution with high doses of fertilizers and pesticides on the soil mesofauna representatives. The work is based on studying influence of anthropogenic impacts on soil biological activity in comparison with its main indicators, which allowed to establish the soil fauna correlative connection with major traditional indicators of soil fertility, and significantly enhances their ecological importance in the assessment of agricultural techniques in agricultural production.
