Technology for obtaining soil ameliorant and evaluating the effectiveness of its application

Abstract

The article is devoted to the results of research and development of technology for obtaining soil ameliorant based on organic and mineral waste from beet crop rotation and sugar production. The problem of soil degradation due to the intensification of sugar beet production is being solved by returning organic and mineral substances accumulated in sugar production waste and beet crop rotation back to the soil for its reclamation. The meliorant includes a defecate that is mixed with peat that has been pretreated by exposure in a hydrodynamic cavitation generator to pulsating jets and micro-explosions of gas bubbles dissolved in water or wastewater from sugar factories and organic residues of beet crop rotation plants. It is shown that the introduction of meliorant into the soil during the cultivation of sugar beet allowed to increase yields by 6.9%, and sugar yield by 11%.
