摘要:The influence of chicken manure compost with sawdust in doses from 100 to 1000 t/ha on soil properties was studied on the sod-podzolic soils where the poultry farms of the Moscow region are located. An increase in pH, the humus content, the content of water-soluble forms of NPK in soils and an increase in the complexing capacity of soils were found. The authors define the correlation of the content of mobile forms of heavy metals in the sod-podzolic soils fertilized with poultry droppings with soil pH, the content of humus and mobile phosphates in them. The permissible doses of manure introduced into the soil as fertilizer are determined by the combination of properties, processes and soil regimes, relief, groundwater level, and hydrothermal conditions of the territory. The introduction of droppings into soils contaminated with heavy metals increased their mobility due to complex formation. A positive effect of the use of humates from chicken droppings on the bioproductivity of plants is defined. The article considers the necessity of controlling the quality of the water and air environment when regulating the composition and doses of application of chicken manure compost.
