Overview

Field experiment demonstrates increased soil fertility and crop yields under legume-microbial systems in degraded chernozem, indicating strong potential for regenerative agriculture.

Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy of combining legume crops, mixed sowing systems, and microbial biopreparations for restoring degraded chernozem soil fertility and enhancing crop productivity.
Conducted a 3-year field experiment from 2022 to 2024 evaluating legume crops, mixed sowings, and microbial biopreparations (Azotokhelp, Helprost Universal, Phytocid, and Organic-Balance).
Assessed changes in soil properties, biological indicators, and crop productivity using agrochemical, microbiological, and statistical analysis methods.
The integrated B5 treatment increased humus content by 31%, readily available nitrogen by 40%, total soil microorganisms by 3.2-fold, nitrogen-fixing bacteria by 6.4-fold, and dehydrogenase activity by 4.1-fold.
Crop productivity improved significantly under the B5 regimen, increasing soybean yield by 75%, chickpea yield by 64%, and lucerne green mass yield by 59%, along with enhanced protein content.
