Abstract
In the period from September to May, the decomposition of stubble by microorganisms was more active than that during the summer period. The mineralization of stubble of sweet clover, peas, and corn was more active than that of spring wheat, barley, oats, and winter rye. The root residues of the majority of the crops were decomposed slower than the stubble. The yield of the wheat depended on the amount of afterharvest residues, their chemical composition, and the rate of their mineralization. The increase in wheat yields as dependent on the input of the stubble remains of the precursors into the soil can be arranged in the following order: wheat, corn < rye, annual herbs < peas.
