Natural-like agrochemical means In food security and soil fertility

Abstract

In closed soil conditions on tomato, cucumber and pepper cultures, the effectiveness of the integrated use of chicken compost, silicon fertilizer based on diatomite and the microbial preparation of the Bacillus amyloliquefasciens culture was evaluated. New technology allows you to get a crop increase of all high-quality vegetable crops. The studied agrochemical properties of gray forest medium loamy soil after harvesting did not deteriorate. In contrast to experiment options using traditional mineral fertilizers, the collected products fall under the definition of “organic” or with improved quality indicators, the so-called “green”. The resources of raw materials for the creation of nature-like innovative technologies of “green agrochemistry” are calculated. Now Russia produces about 310 million tons of organic animal waste, less than 70 million tons or 23% is used. The total content of only three plant nutrient elements (NPK) in the organic matter is 2,9 million tons of active substance. Their cost at current prices for mineral fertilizers exceeds 70 billion rubles. Perhaps the full useful use of organic resources in the system of measures for the “revitalization” of rural territories in terms of maintaining soil fertility and preventing “decarbonization”. This will reduce the negative impact of uncontrolled turnover of nitrogen and carboncontaining products on the components of the environment.
