Abstract the article presents the results of research on the influence of various methods of basic soil treatment on the agrophysical parameters of leached Chernozem fertility, biological activity, accumulation of nitrate nitrogen and productive moisture resources under continuous and local placement of crop residues in the forest-steppe of the Middle Volga region. It was noted that when using comb-back processing, the soil density corresponded to the optimal value for the growth and development of the crops studied in the experiment. The content of water-bearing aggregates (diameter >0.25 mm) increased by 2.8–4.0–% in comparison with plowing, and microbiological activity in the arable soil layer increased by 3.8–5.3 %. Due to the mineralized bands and ridge wings, the reserves of productive moisture were increased, and better conditions were provided for the reproduction of soil fertility and nitrogen nutrition of plants. This led to an increase in the productivity of grain-pair crop rotation by 0.28–0.32 t/ha, compared with annual plowing.

Key words: soil fertility, addition density, biological activity, humus, organic matter, soil treatment, fertilizers.

 Protective forest belts are created artificially in agrolandscapes in order to prevent harmful effects of climatic factors on the crop (dry winds, deterioration of the water regime, soil erosion and erosion processes, etc.). Crop yields are increasing and biodiversity in forest enclaves is increasing due to forest belts. The functional role of living organisms in the system of forest belts has been little studied. Forest belts are an important stabilizing factor in the natural environment. Agricultural techniques and methods of planting forest belts and structures depending on the topography, flow direction, snow cover and other natural and climatic factors are given in the article. The functional role of forest belts depends on the total height of tree species, the development of their root systems and crowns. Some data on the effect of different forest belts on crop yields are given. Two options for creating systems of protective forest belts depending on the slope are given. The volume of work on the creation of forest stands, taking into account the area and width, is estimated.

Key words: agrolandscapes, forest belts, functions of forest belts, agricultural technology of creating forest belts, construction of forest belts, improvement of the microclimate of forest belts and agricultural landscapes.

 This article discusses the content of such an important element as phosphorus in the soil of forest belts and soil of agricultural fields. Our research was conducted in the period from 2011 to 2016, the Object of research was the agricultural landscape of the farm "Precepts of Ilyich" Leningrad district, on four fields which was organized by long-term monitoring of the dynamics of phosphorus in the seasons and years of vegetation while growing on these fields, alternating crops of the current rotation. In order to obtain the planned high yields of crops and prevent soil depletion, it is necessary to apply various fertilizers. The use of mineral and organic fertilizers is one of the main conditions for increasing crop yields, as well as an important link in their cultivation technologies. We conducted a comparative characteristic of such an important element as mobile phosphorus in the soils of forest belts and soils of agricultural fields of the studied economy. According to the results of the areal survey, we calculated the mass of mobile phosphorus in the soils of the studied farm. In 2011, the average content of phosphorus in the soils of the agricultural landscape 24-28 %. Phosphorus content in 2016 increased significantly by more than 4 mg/kg compared to 2011. In soil in field crop rotation phosphorus marked increase to about 4.5 mg/kg. the content of phosphorus increase also observed in soils and forests. To maintain the level of phosphorus in the soils of crop rotation and for its saturation, it is necessary to apply mineral fertilizers containing this element, taking into account the planned yields. Some differences in the content of mobile phosphorus in soil samples of forest belts and fields of crop rotation by polygons, in our opinion, are related to the following reasons: the second polygon is characterized by greater evenness of mesorelief, while the first polygon is cut by beams and the difference between the upper and lower points reaches 8 m. The second polygon has two gentle slight slopes to the South and North of a very large flat upper part, and for the first polygon in addition to the rugged terrain is characterized by a very clear angle to the South-West of almost the entire territory. The difference in topography makes certain differences in maintaining the concentration of mobile phosphorus in soil samples.

Key words: soils, forest strips, agricultural fields, mobile phosphorus, agricultural landscape, crop rotation.

Microorganisms that neutralize elemental phosphorus could be assumed to possess biodegradation capabilities of a whole spectrum of phosphorus compounds. We tested this situation in practice. Since the chemistry of phosphorus is extensively diverse, the acquisition of data on the fungal metabolism of different classes of compounds is imperative. In the presented article, we describe the continuation of this work. It became clear that Aspergillus niger AM1 demonstrates the ability to utilize phosphoromolybdenum and phosphoric tungsten acid, and substituted dithiophosphate as sources of phosphorus. On the contrary, the fungus does not metabolize organic phosphinate. The NMR method demonstrated that A. niger AM1 slowly metabolizes hypophosphite resulting from the biodegradation of white phosphorus, but does not metabolize phosphite. The NMR data conforms to fungal growth dynamics with these substances in media.

Key words: detoxication, phosphorus compounds, white phosphorus, Aspergillus niger.
