Productivity of crop rotations with different types of fallow and their effect on the humus content in sod-podzolic soil the Middle Urals

The research was carried out in the conditions of the Perm Region on sod-podzolic heavy loamy soils in a long stationary plot trial, laid down in 1977. The purpose of the research is to study the effect of various types of fallow on crop rotation productivity and humus content in the soil. The data are given for two rotations (2009–2022) of fallow-grain–grass crop rotations with various types of fallow – with manurial, sown with clover, sown with melilot, sideral with clover and sideral with melilot – without mineral fertilizers and with fertilizers (N60P30K60). It was found that in the sown fallows, the mass of root and mowing plant residues of meadow clover and yellow melilot, depending on the nutrition background, reaches 4.08–4.36 t/ha with a nitrogen content of 41.8–46.9 kg/ha, phosphorus 16.7–18.6 kg/ha and potassium 42.7–69.6 kg/ha. In sideral fallow with clover and clover biomass, 6.99–9.04 t/ha and 6.83–8.53 t/ha of dry matter with a content of 133.5–148.1 kg/ha of nitrogen, 34.3–41.2 phosphorus and 121.2–148.9 potassium were supplied to the soil, respectively. The application of organic fertilizers in the fallow field contributed to an increase in the humus content by 0.19 abs.% to the initial (2.04 %) in the variant without mineral fertilizers and by 0.69 abs.% in the variant with the introduction of mineral fertilizers to the initial (2.08 %) Clover sideral fallow also contributed to an increase in the humus content in the soil by – 0.38–0.52 abs.%. There was an increased productivity of crop rotation with sideral melilot fallow (2.22–2.25 t/ha of grain units per year) relative to the traditional crop rotation with pure fallow (2.08–2.11 t/ha of grain units per year). Cultivation of crops in all studied crop rotations was energetically efficient, the energy efficiency coefficient was 3.63...4.48 in the variants without mineral fertilizers, against the background of NRK – 2.38...3.21.
