Economic assessment of the parameters of reproduction of land resources in the regional agricultural sector

Abstract

Subject. This article discusses the importance of land resources for the development of the region. Objectives. The article aims to conduct an economic assessment of the reproduction of land resources in the Russian agriculture. Methods. For the study, we used statistical research methods and linear predictive models with a loss functional in the form of quantile functions. Results. The article confirms the hypothesis about the influence of the nature of economic activity on the parameters of reproduction of land resources within certain regional economic systems. The article proves that the increase in the intensity of the use of land resources, accompanied by an increase in the yield of agricultural crops, leads to a deterioration in the parameters of reproduction of land resources. At the same time, there is a statistically significant relationship between the parameters of reproduction and the level of application of organic fertilizers. Conclusions. The allowed losses of elements of land fertility should be compensated by the appropriate application of organic and mineral fertilizers, as well as the use of various soil protection measures.
