Palamarchuck S. Agrochemical estimation of fertilizer application under red beet cultivation in Northern Forest Steppe of Ukraine.

Investigation object: agrochemical processes in dark-grey podzolic light-loamy soil, some physiological and biochemical processes in plants of red beat. The aim of investigation: determining and substantiation of agrochemical, economic and energetic effectiveness of mineral fertilizers and wormcompost application for growing red beet on dark-grey podzolic soil. Methods: long-term field trial; standard agrochemical laboratory methods; methods of mathematical statistics. Scientific newness: for the first time on dark-grey podzolic light-loamy soil the scientific recommendations for nutrition regime optimization of red beet were developed. It ensures by timing of mineral fertilizers application, that is why it had positive influence on soil fertility agrochemical indexes, crop productivity and high economic and energetic effectiveness. Main investigation results were implemented in practical agriculture. Branch: agriculture, agricultural chemistry.
