The Ministry discussed the implementation of projects for agrolandscape soil protection farming systems
The Ministry, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan - Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Zyabbarov, held individual meetings with the heads of organizations of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Tatarstan, implementing projects of agrolandscape soil protection farming systems.
To date, a total of 31 projects have been developed, which cover more than 243.0 thousand hectares of agricultural land. During the meetings, managers announced the results of project implementation in 2023 and discussed plans for 2024.
Serious attention is paid to the development of scientifically based crop rotations, which are aimed at using fields taking into account their agro-ecological characteristics. The issue of preserving agricultural lands from erosion processes is acute. In order to protect the lands of the agricultural production complex Pedigree Plant named after Lenin, Atninsky district, 127.7 hectares of anti-erosion forest plantations were created in 2023, Agricultural Production Enterprise Tan - 53.5 hectares, peasant farm Suleymanov A.I. Nurlatsky district - 50.2 hectares, Timiryazev LLC, Baltasinsky district - 42.6 hectares, Veneta LLC - 38 hectares.
The issues of curbing land degradation and carrying out measures to increase soil fertility through the biologization of agriculture, including sowing green manure and stubble crops, spreading crushed straw, applying liquid and solid manure, and using biological products, are also outlined.
All technological solutions during project implementation are planned using digital solutions. At the Agricultural Production Complex Breeding Plant named after Lenin, Agrofirm Tan of the Atninsky district, Toyma LLC, Vahitovo LLC of the Kukmorsky district, Vozrozhdenie Agrofirm LLC of the Arsky district, Nur Agrofirm LLC of the Tetyushsky district, farms of the management company Agroinvest, Timiryazev LLC, Veneta LLC Baltasinsky district, CJSC Biryuli of Vysokogorsky district, LLC SHP named after Saidashev of Tukaevsky district, the budget for field work for 2024 is considered through a software product with the development of a technological map for each crop. It is also planned to use programs for monitoring equipment and installing tags on agricultural machines to automate the recording of ongoing processes. The remaining farms are already at the final stage of transition to digital platforms.
The implementation of projects of agrolandscape soil protection farming systems is aimed at obtaining an economic effect, preserving soil fertility and creating an agro-ecological framework that will help level out weather and climatic conditions and obtain a stable crop yield.
