COMPARATIVE PRODUCTIVITY OF CROPS GROWN ON FALLOW LANDS IN THE STEPPE ZONE OF SOUTH URALS
The results of studies on the prospects of growing new winter and spring crops on clean fallow lands are suggested in the article. The water regime of the fallow field under arid conditions is considered. The effect of crops on field weed infestation and agrophysical indices is described. Prospective crops which are to be further studied under the conditions of the steppe zone of South Urals are pointed out.
