Modernization of Current Agricultural Technologies of Grain Production Under the Conditions of a Steppe Zone of the Altai Region

Abstract

In the first part of the article, the overview of different periods of agricultural development in Kulunda Steppe is presented. The next part shows the materials and methods of the research as well as the variants of tilling technologies and crop rotations. In the third part, the change of precipitation and temperatures during the growing season 2013-2016 is described. Furthermore, information on the water regime of the soils, an analysis of the rate of moisture from the meter layer of soil during the vegetation, follows. After that, there is crop yield data in dependence of agricultural technologies and conclusions.
