PRODUCTIVITY OF ARABLE LAND AND FERTILIZER Efficiency IN RELATION TO SOIL FERTILITY AND ECONOMY FACTORS

Abstract

The relation of the arable land productivity in feed units (f. u.) and fertilizer use efficiency to soil fertility and economic conditions of 118 districts of Belarus for 2004-2008 period and247 cooperative farms in Gomel region for period 2001-2005 had been studied. It was found that yield response per 1 kg NPK applied varied on farm level from 3.1 to 18.0 f. u., while the profit from fertilizer use varied from 4 to188 USD per ha. Analysis of reasons preventing the realization of potential crop yields according to soil fertility indices and fertilizer used has been done.
