The purpose of the experiment was to study the influence of periodic using of neutralized phosphogypsum on the fertility of meadow chernozem soils of Krasnodar Territory, achieving of the appropriate level of rice agrocenosis productivity, and the quality of rice grain. The timing of the effective use of phosphogypsum as a phosphorus fertilizer was revealed during the experiment. It was proved that the same level of mobile phosphorus content in rice soils can be achieved by using either phosphogypsum or standard phosphorus-containing fertilizers. Given the fact that nitrogen and potassium fertilizers are already used, using of phosphogypsum provides an opportunity of getting a 6,34 tons/hectare yield of rice (the same result was achieved using N120P80K60 fertilizer). 3 years after re-fertilizing the soil with phosphogypsum we can notice that effectiveness of phosphogypsum in optimization of rice mineral nutrition program contributes to cost savings of 4155 RUB/hectare in comparison with traditional fertilizing system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
