The reutilization of agricultural wastes, as bio-fertilizers, is the key way to close the nutrient cycle and save mineral fertilizers. This hypothesis was verified in three consecutive seasons, treating tomato with three bio-fertilizers on the background of a standard rate of mineral fertilizer. The bio-fertilizers differed in their C:N ratio, which was 13:1, 21:1, and 6:1 for the A, B, and C fertilizers, respectively. They were applied at the rate of 200, 400, 800, and 1600 kg ha−1. The average fruit yield increased in the order: B < C < A. For the relevant fertilizer, the maximum commercial yield was 91, 87, and 101 t ha−1, for a respective rate of 1600, 200, and 400 kg ha−1. The number of fruits (CFN), as the dominant yield component, indirectly reflected the nitrogen (N) supply to plants. A shortage or excess of N on plots treated with the B or C fertilizers, resulted in a decreased CFN, leading to a yield decline. The year-to-year variability in the potassium (K) content reflected fairly well the variable weather conditions, responsible for water management by tomato. The conducted study showed that the tested bio-fertilizers can replace mineral fertilizer, as long as they are applied at well-defined rates.

The article presents findings of the influence of different levels of mineral nutrition on plant growth and development, the impact of fertilizers on the botanical composition, on the productivity and forage benefits of cereal-bean agrocenoses in the forest-steppe zone of the Baikal region. The objects of research were mixed crops of oats with peas and millet with vetch, peas, and Austrian winter pea. Legumes are the main source of protein increase in feed. In the field, the most widespread, among legumes, were vetch, sowing peas, field peas (Austrian winter pea). As a result of phenological observations, it was found that the growth and development of plants depended on the biological characteristics of crops, weather conditions and directly on the mineral nutrition level. The millet reacted most effectively to the application of mineral fertilizers, starting from the exit phase into the tube. The introduction of mineral fertilizers in pre-sowing tillage contributed to an increase in the proportion of legume components in the total green mass yield and a decrease in cereals. The highest competition in agrocenoses of millet with legume components was vetch, its share in the mixture increased, compared to the unfertilized background, by 6 and 14.5%, depending on the background of fertilizers. It was found that, compared with the unfertilized background, mineral fertilizers increased the yield of green mass from 1.5 to 4.9 tons per hectare, the collection of dry matter from 0.4 to 2.0 tons per hectare and the collection of feed units from 0.3 to 1.3 tons per hectare. Digestible protein content in 1 unit increased with the introduction of nitrogen fertilizer (N45), depending on the type of components in the mixture, from 3.2 to 6.6 g, and with the introduction of complex mineral fertilizer (N45P30K30) from 2.5 to 9.6 g. All are millet-bean mixtures at all levels of mineral nutrition comply with zootechnical standards.

В стрессовых погодных условиях применение минеральных удобрений при внекорневых подкормках оказывает существенное влияние на рост и развитие виноградных растений, способствует повышению урожайности и улучшению качества продукции (содержание сахаров, титруемых кислот, фенольных веществ, витаминов, сохранности продукции и т.д.). В статье приводятся результаты исследований по изучению влияния органического удобрения природного происхождения Изабион на продуктивность и качество урожая винограда технических сортов Алиготе, Бастардо магарачский и Шардоне в почвенно-климатических условиях Юго-западной виноградарской зоны Крыма. В ходе проведения исследований установлено, что применение изучаемого удобрения способствует повышению средней массы грозди на 15,8-40 г, урожая с куста - на 0,8-1,4 кг и урожайности винограда - на 1,8-2,9 т/га в сравнении с контролями. Экспериментально определено, что опытные обработки привели к существенному увеличению средней длины побегов в среднем на 7,7 % и прироста вегетативной массы на 11,8 %. На фоне применения исследуемых систем питания отмечено увеличение концентрации сахаров в соке ягод на 11-18 г/дм(5,7-12,1 %). При расчете экономической эффективности технологии выращивания технического сорта винограда Алиготе установлено, что двукратная внекорневая подкормка минеральным удобрением Изабион снижает фактическую себестоимость произведенной продукции в среднем на 19,7 % и повышает рентабельность производства на 39,5 %. Using of mineral fertilizers in foliar dressing in stress weather conditions significantly effects growth and development of grape plants, promotes an increase in cropping capacity and product quality (content of sugars, titratable acids, phenolic substances, vitamins, product safe-keeping, etc.). The article presents the results of studies on the effect of natural organic fertilizer Isabion on the productivity and quality of grape yield of wine varieties ‘Aligote’, ‘Bastardo Magarachskiy’ and ‘Chardonnay’ in the soil and climatic conditions of the South-West viticultural zone of Crimea. In the course of the research it was found that using of the studied fertilizer contributed to an increase in the average bunch weight by 15.8-40 g, the yield per bush - by 0.8-1.4 kg, and the cropping capacity of grapes - by 1.8-2.9 t/ha in comparison with controls. It was experimentally determined that test applications have led to a significant increase in the average shoot length by 7.7% and in the green matter by 11.8%. Against the background of using the studied food systems, an increase in the concentration of sugars in the juice of berries by 11-18 g/dm (5.7-12.1%) was registered. When calculating the economic efficiency of wine grape variety ‘Aligote’ growing practice it was found that double foliar dressing with Isabion mineral fertilizer reduced actual cost of production by an average of 19.7% and increased profitability of production by 39.5%.

In modern conditions of agricultural intensification, the use of a scientifically based fertilizer system becomes extremely necessary. It is she who will allow you to get economically viable crop yields. Studies to obtain the planned yield with the introduction of increasing doses of mineral fertilizers were carried out in 2018-2020 in the forest-steppe zone of the Urals. The soil is old leached chernozem. Experiment scheme: control (without fertilization); application of mineral fertilizers to the planned yield: by 3.0 t/ha of grain N40 P75; 4.0 t/ha - N95P110; 5.0 t/ha - N150P200 and 6.0 t/ha - N185P160 kg of active ingredient. On average, over the years of research, the planned yield of spring wheat was achieved. The cost of growing spring wheat without mineral fertilizers amounted to 16850 rubles/ha. The introduction of mineral fertilizers for the planned harvests increases costs up to 34200 rubles/ha. Such high costs are explained by the use of phosphate fertilizers, whose price is twice as high as ammonium nitrate. In the structure of costs for obtaining a yield of 3.0 t/ha of grain, the share of mineral fertilizers accounts for 17 %. A further increase in the level of mineral nutrition through fertilizers increases the share of fertilizer costs up to 45 %. The profit from the sale of grain on the option with NPK of 6.0 t/ha of grain reached 27400 with a profitability of 80 %. On the control, the corresponding indicators were 5150 rubles/ha and 31 %. The optimal and economically justified is the level of mineral nutrition, providing 4.0 t/ha of spring wheat grain. A further increase in the agricultural background is associated with a risk due to the peculiarities of weather conditions in the forest-steppe zone of the Urals

Currently, the main priorities in agricultural production are ecologization, rational use of natural resources, resource-conservation and economic practicability. Therefore, biotechnologies for growing agricultural crop develop. The article presents the results of effectiveness of pre-sowing treatment with polyfunctional microbial preparations compared to the use of mineral fertilizer Ammophos in growing Cіcer arіetіnum L. in the steppe zone of the Crimea on non-irrigated southern Chernozem in 2015-2017. Weather conditions during the growing season and treatment with microbial preparations, as well as the use of mineral fertilizers, affected seed productivity of chickpeas in the time of research. On average, for three years, bacterization with Rhizobofit, Cyano-rhizobial consortium and complex Rhizobofit + Phosfoenterin + Biopolicyd significantly increased 1000 seeds weight and seed yield by 16.67 g (6.7%) and 0.15 t/ha (10.8%); 27.27 g (9.8%) and 0.1 t/ha (7.2%); 14.14 g (5.5%) and 0.22 n/ha (15.1%), respectively, compared to the Ammophos application in dose N30P30 (Duncan’s test p < 0,000121). These preparations are recommended for biologised agrotechnology for growing chickpea in the steppe zone of the Crimea and obtaining ecologically safe production.

The article presents the results of research performed in a field stationary experiment on leached chernozem. In soy sowings of the Mageva variety, studied was the effectiveness of joint and separate application of various doses of mineral fertilizers and chelated form of microfertilizers (ZhUSS-2) in variants with soil previously limed in 0.5 and 1.0 h.a. The analysis of crop yield showed that the value of this indicator was significantly influenced only by mineral fertilizers, which provided an increase from 0.05 to 0.37 t/ha. as compared to the variant without fertilizers (0.89 t/ha, LSD05 0.05 t/ha). An increase in the level of nitrogen nutrition from 45 to 60 kg a. i. / ha did not contribute to a significant increase in soybean productivity and reduced the payback of 1 kg of a. i. nitrogen by grain from 7.11 to 5.44 kg. The content of crude protein in soybean grain significantly increased as the result of the aftereffect of liming of the soil in 0.5 h.a. by 0.79 % (LSD05 0.33 %), of ZhUSS-2 preparation use ˗ by 0.19 % (LSD05 0.16 %) and of mineral fertilizers use – by 0.26-4.02 % (LSD05 0.22%). When full mineral fertilizer was applied, the concentration of crude fat decreased by 0.53-0.62 abs. %. Considering unfavorable weather conditions for sowing soybean crops on leached chernozem it is possible to recommend the application of mineral fertilizers in doses of N30P50K80 and N45P50K80 together with treatment of crops with ZhUSS-2 preparation.

The article analyzes the experience of the impact of the system of forest belts and mineral fertilizers on the yield of spring wheat, including on irrigated lands. Vegetation irrigation is designed to maintain the humidity of the active soil layer from germination to maturation at the lower level of the optimum-70-75%, and in the phases of tubulation-earing - flowering - 75-80% NV. However, due to the large differences in zones and microzones of soil and climate conditions and due to the weather conditions of individual years, wheat irrigation regimes require a clear differentiation. In the Volga region in the dry autumn rainfalls give the norm of 800-1000 m3/ha, and in saline soils – 1000-1300 and 3-4 vegetation irrigation at tillering, phases of booting, earing and grain formation the norm 600-650 m3/ha. the impact of the system of forest belts, mineral fertilizers on the yield of spring wheat is closely tied to the formation of microclimate at different distances from forest edges.

The article presents the results of comparative evaluation of the efficiency of the long-term application of mineral and organic fertilizers in the crop rotation system. It was found that the application of the mineral fertilizer system increased the value of hydrolytic acidity of the soil from 4,30 to 5,29 mg-eq per 100 g of soil, the indicator of metabolic acidity decreased from 5,2 to 4,9 pH units. By the end of the 11th rotation for both fertilizer systems, the content of mobile phosphorus increased by more than 4 times relative to the initial value, its mobility indicator – by 2,2-3,2 times compared with the control. The use of the organo-mineral system was accompanied by an increase in the content of humus by 0,35 % and a decrease in the C:N ratio from 11,2 to 8,9. The increased productivity of wheat was revealed when applying nitrogen and nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers against the background of prolonged use of the mineral and organo-mineral fertilizer system. The change in wheat productivity by 56 % depended on the content of mineral nitrogen, mobile phosphorus, humus in the topsoil, and on the phosphate ion mobility. Soybean productivity depended on soil fertility indicators only by 24 %: the relationship between soybean productivity and the mineral forms of nitrogen and phosphorus is weak and direct, between productivity and P2O5 mobility - weak and inverse, with humus - moderate and direct.

The results of studies of the change in redox potential in the profile of light gray forest surface-gleyed soil on variants with long-term agricultural use without applying fertilizers and mineral fertilizer system solely compared with the soil under the forest are presented. On the basis of the conducted analyzes it was established, that soil tillage without fertilizer application and with mineral fertilizer solely has a different effect on ROP in the profile. In the soil without fertilization (control) as compared to the forest a moderate oxidizing (514 mV) and slightly oxidizing (437 mV) processes are happening. Prolonged application of mineral fertilizers to the soil (N65R68K68) significantly reduced the redox potential of all genetic horizons compared with forest and control without fertilizers. For the given fertilizer system the highest values of ROP were obtained in arable HEgl and underarable HEgl layers: 426 mV and 416 mV respectively. Redox potential sharply decreases with the depth to 398-311 mV, which characterizes processes occurring in the soil profile, as weakly reducing and close to moderately reducing.

The productivity of agricultural crops is the most variable and integral indicator of their vital activity, which accumulates their genetic potential, soil fertility, weather conditions and components of agricultural technology. Soybean under optimal growing conditions (the reaction of the soil is close to neutral, sufficient phosphorus and potassium nutrition, the use of nitraginization) assimilates from the air about 70 % of the total nitrogen requirement. Therefore, it is believed that it is enough to apply only a starting dose of nitrogen fertilizers (20–40 kg/ha a. s.), to get a high yield with good indicators of grain quality. The results of studies of the influence of long-term (8 years) application of different doses and ratios of fertilizers in field crop rotation on podzolized chernozem in the conditions of the Right -Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine on the yield and quality of soybean seeds preceded by spring barley were presented. It was found that crop yields could be increased by 18–77 % owing to different doses, ratios and types of fertilizers. The highest indicators of seed yields for three years of the research (3,02 t/ha) were obtained under the application of mineral fertilizers at a dose of N110P60K80 per 1 ha of crop rotation area, including under soybean – N60P60K60. Exclusion of the nitrogen component from the complete fertilizer (N60P60K60) reduced its yield by 26 %, phosphorus – by 17, and potassium by 11 %. There was no significant decrease in soybean yield in the variant of the experiment with a decrease in the proportion of potassium in the composition of complete mineral fertilizer (N60P60K30) for three years of study. The largest mass of 1000 soybean seeds was formed at doses of N60К60 fertilizers, and their protein content — under the application of complete mineral fertilizer in doses of N60P60K60 and N60P60K30.

Purpose. Increasing the uniformity of distribution of mineral fertilizers and other bulk materials due to the stability of their feed from the body to the spreading working bodies using the top feeder. Methods. The following methods are used to achieve this aim: the method of comparing the differences between individual groups of fertilizers, the method of analyzing the properties of a new technical system, the method of functional inventiveness, and the methods of theoretical and analytical mechanics. Results. The traction body of the conveyor of the upper feed of the body fat body machine for mineral fertilizers and other bulk materials was substantiated and the relationship between the height of its scrapers and the distance between them was established, as well as the nature of the mineral fertilizer pressure on the curvilinear wall of the body. In addition, the design of the advanced body fertilizer spreader is justified, which ensures a stable flow of fertilizers from the body due to the improvement of the top feeder. Conclusions. Because of the conducted researches, the advantages of machines equipped with top feeder are found. They create the conditions for the forced feeding mineral fertilizers and other loose materials from the container to the distribution bodies, which is a prerequisite for their evenness on the surface. With this, the imperfection of known machines with the top feeder constrains their introduction into agricultural production. On this account, a more thoroughly constructed solution of the body feeder of the top feed is substantiated, in which the conveyor provides a stable supply of fertilizers from the body with reduced energy consumption during operation. Keywords: analysis, feed, upper device, conveyor, stability, fertilizers, flow ability, body.
