Abstract
Restoring soil fertility and optimizing the agronomic state of agrolandscapes are key issues of commercial agricultural management in the zone of sod-podzolic soils. In a series of landscape ecology studies and field experiments, some phenomena were revealed and a number of regularities were established. Weather and climate risks increased for regional farming. The deterioration of the agronomic state of modern agrolandscapes is accompanied by excess growth of trees and shrubs, overmoistening and secondary waterlogging. Agrolandscapes and soil combinations form a decreasing series in terms of the degree of heterogeneity of properties of automorphic and semi-hydromorphic sod-podzolic soils: lithogenous mosaics on hilly plains > lithogenous mosaics on moraine plains > complexes on hilly plains > complexes on glacial lake and glacial outwash plains > spottiness on plains of different genesis. Improving sod-podzolic soils’ fertility to good and high levels increases the productivity of field and vegetable crop rotations 2.8–4.2 and 3.7–5.0 times, respectively. Using mono-nitrogen fertilizer systems on cultivated soils increases crop rotation productivity by 24–46% and intensifies the hidden degradation of effective soil fertility. The average annual reduction of parameters reaches 0.03–0.20 for pHKCl, 0.015–0.020% for humus content and 6–20 mg/kg and 10–80 mg/kg for mobile phosphorus and potassium, respectively. Precise fertilizer systems increase the recoupment achieved with 1 kg of NPK in vegetable crops by 18–21%, in field crops by 12–17% and in profitability by 38–49%.
