Accounting for the fertility of land resources as a factor in the sustainable development of the Kursk region

Abstract

Abstract The article deals with the problems of accounting for the fertility of land resources. The analysis shows that the most fertile soils (black soils) are under the threat of degradation. In the Kursk region, a negative balance of nutrient removal is observed annually. Growth in crop production is due to a decrease in soil fertility, as a result of an irrational farming system. Therefore, technologies that contribute to the preservation and improvement of land fertility should be used for the effective use of land resources in the Kursk region. The results of our study confirm the need to make adjustments to the current system of organization of agricultural production by improving the accounting system.
