Исследования проведены в 2013–2015 годах в ООО «Вымпел 2002» в Хасавюртовском районе Республики Дагестан. Почва экспериментального участка содержит в пахотном слое гумуса 2,77%, Р2О5 — 2,21 мг, К2О — 32,8 мг/100 г почвы, плотность в пахотном слое — 1,24 г/см3, наименьшая влагоёмкость слоя 0–0,6 м — 29,2%. Целью наших исследований являлось выявление влияния возраста люцерны на накопление общей и неотчуждаемой из почвы органической массы в зернокормовом севообороте в условиях Западного Прикаспия. Рассмотрено два севооборота (с двухлетней и трёхлетней люцерной), по пласту и обороту пласта выращивали озимую пшеницу, после уборки которой в пожнивный период с помощью провокационного полива формировали пожнивный естественней фитоценоз (ПЕФ). Степень насыщения севооборотов люцерной составляла соответственно 50 и 60,0%, озимой пшеницей + ПЕФ — 60,0 и 40%. Установлено, что увеличение срока использования люцерны в зернотравяных севооборотах с 2 до 3 лет и доли её в структуре посевных площадей с 50 до 60% способствовало увеличению сборов сена с 1 га севооборотной площади на 2,57 т/га (на 19,0%), зерна озимой пшеницы по пласту — на 7,9%, по обороту пласта — на 6,5%, надземной массы ПЕФ — на 5,3 и 5,1% соответственно. Одновременно увеличивалось и количество накапливаемой растительной массы с 71,56 до 92,66 т/га севооборотной площади. Но в том случае, когда люцерна в севообороте использовалась 2 года, а доля озимой пшеницы с последующим использованием пожнивного периода под ПЕФ увеличивалась с 40 до 50% севооборотной площади, неотчуждаемой из почвы растительной массы накапливалось больше на 20,2%. Заслуживает уточнения в методическом плане вопрос об отнесении части урожая сена люцерны, произведённого в хозяйстве, к неотчуждаемой из почвы продукции подобно тому, как это делается в отношении соломы, только 60% которой считается экосистемной. The investigation took place at the OOO “Vympel 2002” in the Khasavyurt district of the Republic of Dagestan in 2013–2015. Soil of the trial field contained 2.77% of humus, Р2О5 — 2.21 mg, К2О — 32.8 mg/100 g of soil, layer density — 1.24 g/cm3, the lowest moisture content of the 0–0.6 m layer — 29.2%. The aim was to test the effect of alfalfa age on the accumulation of total and soil organic mass in grain crop rotation in the Western Caspian region. Two crop rotations were studied (two- and three-year old alfalfa). After harvesting winter wheat the plot was irrigated to form post-harvest natural phytocenosis. Alfalfa proportion amounted to 50 and 60%, winter wheat + post-harvest natural phytocenosis — 60 and 40%. Cultivation of alfalfa for 3 years instead of 2 and increase in its proportion from 50 to 60% improved hay yield by 2.57 t ha-1 (19%), wheat grain yield — by 7.9 and 6.5%, top mass of post-harvest natural phytocenosis — by 5.3 and 5.1%, respectively. Plant mass increased from 71.56 to 92.66 t ha-1. When alfalfa was cultivated for 2 years and winter wheat proportion raised from 40 to 50%, accumulation of soil organic matter improved by 20.2%. Attributing part of alfalfa hay to soil organic matter was performed the same way as for straw, only 60% of which belonged to an ecosystem.

Abstract A description is provided for Leptosphaeria maculans. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Brassica spp. ; Brassica oleracea, B. rapa and B. napobrassica and other Cruciferae. DISEASE: Variously known as canker, dry rot and black leg, mainly of Brassica oleracea, B. rapa and B. napobrassica. Several cruciferous genera are attacked. The first symptoms are seen on seedlings as pale lesions on the stem, cotyledons and first true leaves. These become greyish with the pycnidia developing in their centres. On older plants in the field lesions on the leaves and other above-ground parts often have purplish margins. The stem, root and bulb are attacked causing necrotic, girdling cankers and transverse splits; severe infection of stem or root leads to wilt or the plant toppling over. Pycnidia develop abundantly on all infected areas. The perfect state has been reported from Australia, Canada, England and the Republic of Ireland (44, 65; 45, 1568; 48, 51). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread but mostly in temperate regions (CMI Map 73 ed. 3, 1969). Records not yet mapped are: Australia (NT), Brazil, Costa Rica, Salvador, USSR (Ukraine). TRANSMISSION: The seed is invaded, dormant mycelium forming beneath the seed coat (11: 489; 19: 58). A recent survey in Denmark (48, 2641) showed seed of B. oleracea var. capitata to be most frequently infected and a longevity of 3 yr 8 months reported. From New Zealand a longevity of 14 months was found (39: 200). Seed treatment for control of conidial infection has led to the recognition that the disease may also be introduced by air-borne ascospores from host debris (42: 62; 49, 1822; 50, 2027). A persistence of 3 yr in soil organic matter can occur (9: 218; 29: 448).

Soil degradation that results from erosion, losses of organic matter and nutrients, or soil compaction are of great concern in every agricultural region of the world. The control of soil erosion and loss of organic matter has been proposed as critical to agricultural and environmental sustainability of Northeast China. This region is bread basket of China where the fertile and productive soils, Mollisols (also called Black soils), are primarily distributed. In this paper, we introduce the importance of Northeast China’s grain production to China, and describe the changes of sown acreage and grain production in past decades. This paper also summarizes the distribution, area and intensity of water erosion, changes in the number of gullies and gully density, thickness of top soil layer, soil organic matter content, bulk density, field water holding capacity, and infiltration rates; the number of soil microorganism and main enzyme activities from soil erosion in the region are also summarized. The moderately and severely water-eroded area accounted for 31.4% and 7.9% of the total, and annual declining rate is 1.8%. Erosion rate is 1.24–2.41 mm/year, and soil loss in 1°, 5° and 15° sloping farmlands is 3 t/ha/year, 78 t/ha/year and 220.5 t/ha/year, respectively. SOC content of uncultivated soil was nearly twice that of soil with a 50-year cultivation history, and the average annual declining rate of soil organic matter was 0.5%. Proper adoption of crop rotation can increase or maintain the quantity and quality of soil organic matter, and improve soil chemical and physical properties. Proposed strategies for erosion control, in particular how tillage management, terraces and strip cultivation, or soil amendments contribute to maintain or restore the productivity of severely eroded farmland, are discussed in the context of agricultural sustainability with an emphasis on the Chinese Mollisols.

AbstractThe effects of biodynamic preparations were tested in the context of comparisons of conventional, organic, and biodynamic systems and diverse crop rotations in Washington and Wisconsin, USA. Wisconsin research also entailed testing a new nettle-and-manure-based field spray preparation (NCP). Focus was on winter wheat and maize and on soil quality. In Washington, preparations increased root growth of winter wheat, microbial biomass, and soil organic matter. In Wisconsin, applying a combination of preparations that included NCP increased root growth of maize, root health, and particulate organic matter in the soil. Relative to the organic treatments, root dry matter increases associated with the use of preparations varied from 12% to 39% and root length differences varied from 10% to 37% depending on the experiment, crop, year, and preparation application. The biodynamic + NCP treatment also induced substantial, positive yield compensatory effects for maize and wheat under stress condition years. The response slopes were practically identical for wheat and maize, indicating that the effect is of the same magnitude for both crops. Results were higher average grain yields and gross financial returns than for organic grain. The greater root production and root health stimulated by preparations is probably linked to greater vegetative growth, enhanced yield under stress conditions, and increased soil quality and carbon in soils.

Knowledge on variations in vertical, horizontal and temporal characteristics of the soil chemical properties under eucalyptus stumps left in the soil is of fundamental importance for the management of subsequent crops. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of eucalyptus stumps (ES) left after cutting on the spatial variability of chemical characteristics in a dystrophic Yellow Argisol in the eastern coastal plain region of Brazil. For this purpose, ES left for 31 and 54 months were selected in two experimental areas with similar characteristics, to assess the decomposition effects of the stumps on soil chemical attributes. Soil samples were collected directly around these ES, and at distances of 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 cm away from them, in the layers 0-10, 10-20 and 20-40 cm along the row of ES, which is in-between the rows of eucalyptus trees of a new plantation, grown at a spacing of 3 x 3 m. The soil was sampled in five replications in plots of 900 m² each and the samples analyzed for pH, available P and K (Mehlich-1), exchangeable Al, Ca and Mg, total organic carbon (TOC) and C content in humic substances (HS) and in the free light fraction. The pH values and P, K, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Al3+ contents varied between the soil layers with increasing distance from the 31 and 54-monthold stumps. The highest pH, P, K, Ca2+ and Mg2+ values and the lowest Al3+ content were found in the surface soil layer. The TOC of the various fractions of soil organic matter decreased with increasing distance from the 31 and 54-month-old ES in the 0-10 and 10-20 cm layers, indicating that the root (and stump) cycling and rhizodeposition contribute to maintain soil organic matter. The C contents of the free light fraction, of the HS and TOC fractions were higher in the topsoil layer under the ES left for 31 months due to the higher clay levels of this layer, than in those found under the 54-month-old stumps. However, highest C levels of the different fractions of soil organic matter in the topsoil layer reflect the deposition and maintenance of forest residues on the soil surface, mainly after forest harvest.

Among the methods of cultivation that increase the productivity of crops, a prominent role is assigned to crop rotation. In a properly constructed crop rotation, the efficiency of all agrotechnical methods aimed at improving the use of land increases, the biological needs of crops are satisfied, the rational use of technology is achieved, and the cost of production is reduced [1]. The soils are low in nitrogen, medium in phosphorus and high in potassium. The humus content is 1.2–2.0%, pH = 7–8. Studies have shown that green manure (sweet clover, oats, phacelia) have a positive effect on the balance of organic matter. The negative balance of organic matter is noted for pure steam. The stock of productive moisture in the 0–0.3 cm soil layer varied from 4.1 to 29.5 mm for winter wheat, 28.1–32.7 mm for chickpea and 28–35.3 mm for spring barley, depending on the weather conditions. conditions and methods of biologization. On average, over three years, the highest yield was in winter wheat for a busy fallow (phacelia) and amounted to 1.0 t/ha, which depended on weather conditions. A reliable correlation was revealed for the factors of yield-precipitation; temperature; batteries, etc.

The aim of the work was to improve soil fertility and increase the yield of winter wheat using the stubble biodestructor by activating the microbiological activity of the soil. The experimental studies were on the research field of Mykolayiv National Agrarian University (Ukraine). After harvesting the precursor cultures of spring barley and peas the post-harvest residues of these crops were treated with a stubble biodestructor. After treatment of crop residues of spring barley and pea by the stubble biodestructor in the soil layer of 0 up to 20 cm the quantity of cellulose-destructive microorganisms increased by 27.9·105 up to 36.0·105 cfu/g of soil depending on the predecessor culture and the degree of degradation of these residues increased by 31.4 up to 45.1%. The number of nitrogen fixators in the 0-10 cm soil layer grew under the action of treatment of crop residues of spring barley and peas by stubble biodestructor on 13.4 up to 14.1 ·106 cfu/g of soilor 30.3 up to 35.0%. At the same time, a somewhat large number of bacteria in the soil was determined by the processing of post-harvest residues of peas, which was due to the biological characteristics of this legume culture. The average for years of researches at cultivating of winter wheat after spring barley using the stubble biodestructor the grain yield increased by 0.45 t ha–1, or 20.9%, and after pea it increased by 0.67 t ha–1 or 18.8% compared to the treatment variant of stubble just with water.

The paper evaluates seven years (1993–1999) of Soil organic matter supply monitoring in multifactor field trials conducted by the Agricultural Research Institute in Kroměříž, Czech Republic, (mean annual temperature 8.9 °C, total annual precipitation 599 mm, medium Luvi-Haplic Chernozem). The studied plots were a part of nine-crop rotation: alfalfa the 1st and 2nd year, winter wheat, spring barley, sugar beet, spring barley, winter wheat, silage maize and spring barley. The Soil organic matter supply was measured on four plots: winter wheat after spring barley (var. 1), winter wheat after alfalfa (var. 2), spring barley after winter wheat (var. 3) and spring barley after sugar beet (var. 4). Soil samples were taken from April to July (14–day period) from topsoil (0–30 cm) and subsoil (30–60 cm). The content of Soil organic matter was determined by wet oxidation. Using bulk density, the C content (%) was converted to C supply (t. ha−1). Average yield (t. ha−1) reached 6.54 t/ha (var. 1), 7.47 t/ha (var. 2), 6.52 t/ha (var. 3) and 7.20 t/ha (var. 4). Evaluation of the results was carried out by the analysis of variance and time changes by the second-degree regression analysis. Results demonstrated that Soil organic matter supplies were significantly changed in topsoil. The highest supplies were found in barley after sugar beet (118 t. ha−1), the lowest ones in wheat after alfalfa (111 t. ha−1). As for the cereal species generally, it was documented that in topsoils under barley the supplies were higher than under winter wheat. In subsoil, there were significant differences between wheat after alfalfa (111 t. ha−1) and barley after wheat (104 t. ha−1). As for a difference in the Soil organic matter supply in subsoil according to the cereal species the situation was contrary than in topsoil. Higher supplies were under wheat. Generally (topsoil and subsoil), the highest supply of Soil organic matter was in barley after sugar beet (224 t. ha−1) and similarly in wheat after alfalfa (222 t. ha−1). The smallest supply was in the variant of wheat after barley (217 t. ha−1). In topsoil, the average supply of humus was 114 t. ha−1 and that in subsoil was 107 t. ha−1 the difference being statistically significant.
