The quality and quantity of agricultural production depend on the fertility of the soil type on which it is grown. Soil fertility is the result of the interaction of multiple mutually merged factors. Loss of soil fertility leads to soil degradation. Subsequently, it gradually becomes unfit for farming activity. Controlling the maintenance and enhancement of soil fertility is the guarantor of sustainable yields and population satisfaction with food resources, protecting land from degradation, and preserving biodiversity of ecosystems. The report examines the opportunities for restoration of the soil fertility of the agricultural lands of the Yambol Agro region. The aim is to analyze and propose for practice the most suitable methods of organic farming, with the application of which to preserve and improve the fertility of soils from the agricultural fund of the region. The proposed options are in line with the requirements of the European Union and the elements of the Common Agricultural Policy for Conservation of Soil Fertility. As a result of analysis and studies found that the preservation and maintenance of soil fertility in agricultural land in Yambol agroregion is recognized and priority policy of the departments of Agriculture and farmers. From soil fertility conservation methods, organic farmers in Yambol Agro region apply a comprehensive approach, focusing primarily on bio-fertilization, crop rotation and sequential soil treatment systems.

Currently, production diversification strategy is one of the primary tasks of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Mongolia. In particular, the question of the relevance of diversification of production in crop farming, is particularly acute in terms of ensuring the sustainability of agricultural production, restructuring the production in line with market conditions, achieving economic efficiency of crop production. There are a number of issues to be solved for the effective use of the diversification of production in crop production, such as:the negative impact of risks, reduction of volumes of sales and profitability of crop production (economic);underutilization of production capacity, not fully used working capital (technology);cyclical nature of economic development, slow pace of development of scientific and technological progress, the uneven development of sectors of the economy (organizational);deterioration of soil quality and land used in crop production (ecology).

The Relationship

This study aims to explore the casual relationship between agricultural production, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in Pakistan. An autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is applied to examine the relationship between agricultural production, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions using time series data from 1960 to 2014. The Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF), Phillips–Perron (PP) and Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS) tests are used to check the stationarity of variables. The results show both short-run and long-run relationships between agricultural production, gross domestic product (GDP) and carbon dioxide emissions in Pakistan. From the short-run estimates, it is found that a 1% increase in barley and sorghum production will decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 3% and 4%, respectively. The pairwise Granger causality test shows unidirectional causality of cotton, milled rice, and sorghum production with carbon dioxide emissions. Due to the aforementioned cause, it is essential to manage the effects of carbon dioxide emissions on agricultural production. Appropriate steps are needed to develop agricultural adaptation policies, improve irrigation facilities and introduce high-yielding and disease-resistant varieties of crops to ensure food security in the country.

The Impact

Floods cause soil degradation, leading to a reduction in agricultural production, which interacts with the socio-cultural, economic and natural environment. The frequency of flood events may be due to synergistic actions of all factors both natural and anthropogenic. Local community in the river Kolubara catchment was exposed to the catastrophic flood in May 2014. and suffered a lot of damage. This paper analyzes the consequences of these floods in the flood zone of the Kolubara River as well as their impact on soil properties. Since the local community in study area depends primarily on agriculture, the impact of flood from socio-economic aspect was analyzed using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) method.

The use of pesticides to eradicate pests are an integral part in farming system. Pesticides use  to increase production and protect the production of physical defects can also cause pollution on agricultural land. The presence of pesticide residues in soil and agricultural production can cause health problems for human and animals  and even death. To overcome this problem there needs a way to degrade hazardous waste in the  environment by performing the remediation. Remediation is carried out by microorganisms fungi, bacteria and algae known as bioremediation. Bioremediation aims to transform compounds into harmless compounds with the end result are  carbon dioxide, water and biomass cells. The advantages of bioremediation are  environmentally friendly, highly efficient, low cost, can be implemented directly in the field, laboratory and combined with chemical and physical methods.Keywords: bioremediation, soil degradation, pesticides, microorganisms

Over Time

In modern agricultural production, economic analysis is increasing for the perception of operational management decisions. The purpose of this article is to justify the expediency and necessity of conducting operational economic analysis as a special element of operational management in all agricultural enterprises to increase the efficiency of their activities. The article defines the essence of operational economic analysis of agricultural production. Three of its subspecies considered in detail: periodic, operational and situational analysis. Specificity of agriculture determines the features of organization and conducting of operational analysis. Because in agricultural production, firstly, the periods of implementation of costs and outputs do not coincide; and secondly, the process of production for certain types of products is stretched over time. Therefore, conducting operational analysis by industry characterize by its specifics. In particular, in crop production, operational analysis carry out during the periods of basic agrotechnical works: pre-planting of soil and sowing; care of crops; harvesting. We have determined that the main feature of operational analysis is the continuity and rhythm of analytical work throughout the year (daily, monthly). Unfortunately, today it doesn’t solve as for small, as for large agricultural enterprises also. We have made substantiated conclusions about the peculiarities of the operational analysis of agricultural production and the necessity of its implementation in all agricultural enterprises.
