IMPACT OF BASIC CULTIVATION METHODS ON THE ABSORBING COMPLEX

The absorbing complex is characterized by such indicators, as the total absorbed bases, Base Exchange capacity and degree of base saturation. The reaction of the soil medium is of great importance having a great hold over the growth and development of plants and causing the speed and orientation of chemical and biochemical processes in soil. The nature of influence of agricultural methods on changing absorbing complex is investigated in the work. The experiments proved that plowing efficiency with a layer turn at a depth of 15-17 cm promoted more regular exchange bases distribution on top soil and provided higher values of this index in spring and autumn.
