THE PROSPECTS OF PRODUCTION OF the spring barley in the sub-zone of THE light-chestnut soils in Kalmykia

The peculiarities of development of the agricultural and industrial complex of Russia have been reviewed in the article. It has been demonstrated that in the modern conditions the role of the grain farming and fodder production is growing. The Russia’s joining the World trade organization requires taking urgent measures for improvement and increasing the effectiveness of the fodder production in Russia. The conclusions of the article are based on the results of the double-factors field experiments performed on the light-chestnut soils of Kalmykia. The authors have discussed the value of the predecessors and different combination of amounts of organo-mineral fertilizers, as well as the conditions of soil moisturizing on the productivity of barley. It has been defined that the best predecessors of barley are fallow lands and fallow winter crops with addition of the rational amounts of fertilizers N60P60K40 plus 30 t/ha of manure, as well as N60P60. These proposals will allow increasing the competitiveness of the agriculture of Russia in the conditions of joining the WTO.
