Awarding of the agrochemical service of the Republic of Tatarstan
At the XXIV All-Russian Agro-Industrial Exhibition "Golden Autumn-2022", the Center for Agrochemical Service "Tatarsky" was awarded a Silver medal and a diploma in the nomination "For monitoring soil fertility of agricultural lands", and the director of the center Anas Akhtyamovich Lukmanov was awarded a bronze medal for his monograph.
In the Republic of Tatarstan, systematic work is underway to monitor acidity and liming of acidic soils. In the current 2022, the organization's specialists conducted an agrochemical and environmental-toxicological survey of soils on an area of 354 thousand hectares. (in the Sabinsky district - 53 thousand hectares, Kaibitsky - 44.6 thousand hectares, Baltasinsky - 44.5 thousand hectares, Arsky - 41.6 thousand hectares, Drozhzhanovsky - 38.4 thousand hectares, etc.). 184 agricultural enterprises will receive an analysis of the state of soil fertility and cartograms.
On an area of 6 thousand hectares in the Laishevsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan, a soil survey was carried out on fallow lands, during which materials were obtained that characterize the soil cover as a whole, their fertility, water-physical, agrochemical properties, and the degree of erosion. This information is necessary for the development of measures to organize the rational use and protection of land, keeping records of the state of land resources.
The accredited laboratory of the agrochemical center is annually equipped with new equipment. So, in 2022, in order to increase the productivity and quality of determining the main indicators of soil fertility, a modern automated production line of domestic production "Analyt 1L" was purchased, which allows processing up to 200 samples per hour and uploading the results to a computer database.
Liming of acidic soils (chemical reclamation) is carried out annually in the Republic of Tatarstan on an area of over 75,000 hectares. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan subsidizes the costs of agricultural producers in the amount of 50% within the framework of republican and federal targeted programs.
In the conditions of the republic, chemical reclamation provides an increase in the yield of grain crops up to 6 centners per hectare, green mass of corn - up to 4.5 centners per hectare.
