Technologies for creating highly productive forage agrocoenosis on irrigated land in the Republic of Kalmykia

The territory of the Caspian steppes by its nature and landscapes is very unique, at the same time it is quite fragile in ecological terms. Currently, the non-complementary farming system that is still present leads to a violation of the dynamic balance of ecosystems, has a negative impact on the economy of the region and the welfare of society. One of the most serious environmental and economic problems in the republic is significant up to 80% desertification of the territory as a result of pasture digression, deflation and dehumification of the soil. As the practice of the last three decades has shown, an attempt to fully restore degraded agricultural lands has not yielded tangible positive results.

For ecosystem land use in agricultural production, constant monitoring of soil fertility is necessary, which makes it possible to identify the potential productivity of pastures, arable land, to scientifically substantiate the need for complex agro-reclamation measures, to develop technologies for creating agrocenoses with the predominant use of introduced arid plants and highly productive perennial and annual fodder crops.
