AGROECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF SOIL AND POSSIBILITY OF USING GLAUCONITE AND INDUSTRIAL WASTES FOR SOIL FERTILITY INCREASE IN THE CHELYABINSK REGION
The paper presents the results of studies related to the influence of heavy metals on soil fertility indicators in the Chelyabinsk region. The content of heavy metals in some soils exceeds the permissible value due to anthropogenic pollution, this leads to a low content of both hydrolysable nitrogen and labile phosphorus when the content of grossforms is high. The possibility of using glauconite as an effective sorbent for reducing the heavy metals mobility and improving the agrophysical parameters of soil is considered. Its chemical composition and its application methods are given.
