EFFECTIVENESS OF STRIP SOWING OF THE SEPARATE GRASS MIXTURE COMPONENTS ON ERODED GRASSLAND OF STEPPE ZONE

Abstract

At the present time, to increase the stability of agrolandscapes to possible climate changes and periodically repeated drought factors, as well as unsystemized anthropogenic impacts, it is necessary to expand the areas under natural grazing lands and perennial grasses at the expense of eroded and erosion-endangered crop areas, by applying complex surface and radical improvement measures and modern management methods. The latter will enable to considerably reduce energy and material expenditures as well as negative impacts of erosion phenomena and will enhance the sustainability and fertility of steppe agrolandscapes.
