Agrochemical Indicators of Areas Close to Mine Ores of Martakert Region of Artsakh

Abstract

The agro-chemical and physicochemical properties of the soils of the areas adjacent to the iron ores of Artsakh were studied. And despite the fact that mine exploitation did not negatively affect the agrochemical indicators of the soils of the surrounding areas and minor differences observed in the control and adjacent areas are due to the relief, location and other ecological factors of the area. The results of the research show that the soils have less favorable agrochemical and physicochemical properties for plant growth and development and complex application of mineral and organic fertilizers is necessary to obtain high and ecologically clean crops.
