The importance of cereals and legumes in adaptive crop production in the Republic of Kalmykia

Abstract

In the difficult natural and climatic conditions of the Republic of Kalmykia, the adaptive landscape land use system remains the most successful agroecological strategy for agricultural development at the present time and in the long term. The difficulty of transferring agriculture in the republic to the agrolandscape lies in the wide variety of natural and economic conditions of agriculture. The aridity of the climate, the morphological features of agricultural landscapes, and the intensive development of degradation processes remain common factors. In difficult soil and climatic conditions, the efficiency of all agriculture is mainly determined by the improvement of water and nutrient regimes of the soil, more rational placement of cultivated crops in time and space.
