Innovative technologies to increase the fertility of irrigated soils and crop yield

Abstract

The main feature of non-traditional fertilizers is that they have a complex composition. They are new-generation fertilizers that contain the nutrients plants need and are able to provide plants with mobile nutrients for a long time. The development of non-traditional fertilizers will create new resources of fertilizers from the waste products of industry, households, and agricultural sectors. With the use of non-traditional fertilizers, agricultural products of good quality are obtained; this prolongs their shelf life. The use of non-traditional fertilizers is an alternative to the negative effects of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The article considers innovative technologies for increasing the fertility of irrigated soils and crop yields using non-traditional fertilizers produced from agricultural waste. Technology for making compost from waste and manure was developed; the influence of non-traditional fertilizers on the agrochemical properties of soil and cotton yields was revealed; the optimal rate of their application was determined.
