Department of Agrochemistry and Soil Science
Scientific Research
1) Study of the composition and properties of soils, patterns of their distribution, classification, diagnostics, mapping and cadastral assessment;
2) Study of the agrophysical properties and biological activity of soils, development of methods for their improvement;
3) Study of patterns of manifestation and monitoring of erosion processes on arable soils, development of methods for the rational use of eroded and erosion-hazardous soils. Design of anti-erosion complexes in different landscape zones;
4) Monitoring the state of soil fertility and development of complex agrochemical measures to improve it;
5) Study of biological properties of main soil varieties depending on the levels of application of chemicals and development of methods for their improvement;
6) Study of humus regime of soils, intensity of humification and mineralization processes at different doses of organic fertilizers;
7) Study of balance of macro- and microelements in main soil varieties in stationary lysimetric experiments;
8) Development of resource-saving technologies for application of organic macro- and microfertilizers for agricultural crops for main soil varieties based on principles of preservation and improvement of soil fertility;
9) Development of new forms of organic fertilizers for agricultural crops and recommendations for their effective application;
10) Assessment of quality of plant products depending on soil condition and applied agricultural technologies.
