Abstract

It is shown that the available moisture supply in the warm season of the year and quality of plant residues in soil determine the duration of their decomposition, direction of soil microbiological processes, formation of the nutrient regime, and crop yield. The yield of winter and spring wheat decreases with increasing same-type difficultly decomposable plant residues entering the soil.
