Accounting and evaluating soil fertility to form information systems for land resource management

Abstract

The regulatory and methodological basis for monitoring agricultural land is formed without taking into account differences of fertility parameters required to manage land at various system levels. The applied set of parameters, the method of defining and presenting them during agrochemical surveys as an information base for monitoring agricultural lands and the Federal State Information System Functional Subsystem “Electronic Atlas of Agricultural Lands” (the FSIS FS EAAL) founded on its basis do not comply with the modern functions of the state and municipal land management. The concept of standard yield for the land evaluation that uses a systematic approach to evaluating soil fertility in land management has been formalized. The results of evaluating the error in determining the rental income when using the actual rather than standard values of productivity and costs have been given.
