Abstract
The influence of land use history and chemical properties of soils on their allelotoxicity has been studied. Twelve soil samples collected on the Russian Plain and seeds of six cultivars of spring wheat, as well as seeds of barley, rye, and triticale have been used in the study. It was found that different grain crops are inhibited in the same manner by toxic substances in soils. The allelotoxicity of soils differed in dependence on the previous land use and was much higher in the soils from agricultural fields, irrespectively of grown crops, than in the soils of long-term fallow and forests. These data allow us to suppose that crop rotation systems are not always sufficient to reduce soil toxicosis. In this context, the assessment of real soil fatigue (soil allelotoxicity) in the course of crop rotation is necessary. Statistical processing of available data attested to the influence of chemical properties of soils on the inhibition of seed germination and the development of seedlings.

Notes
According to FAO, crop loss from allelotoxicity (toxicosis) of soils in the world in some years reaches up to 25% of the potential yield, and this phenomenon is potentially one of greatest threats to world agriculture [10].
This is attributed to the fact that allelotoxins act in the form of multicomponent mixture, the effect of which is not simply the sum of effects of its particular components.
According to plant physiologists [11], plants use the stored substances up to the moment of germination.
Small vibrating table was made of electrical starter by way of restriction the possibility of magnetic coil to fix the core in the downwardmost position, and this resulted in the core vibration.
