“…In Bulgaria, more than 100 million tons of fertile soil, 3.4 million tons of humus, 200 000 tons of nitrogen are annually removed from eroded arable lands as a result of water erosion. Tens of millions of tons of all other nutrients are also lost (Kuncheva and Dimitrov, 2020). As a consequence of soil erosion, the annual amount of fertilizers removed from agricultural soils by water erosion globally equals to US$ 34 billion for nitrogen and US$ 80 billion for phosphorus (Govers et al, 2017;Bashagaluke et al, 2018).…”

“…Variants of the experiment were: a 1 -conventional tillage along the slope (for the purposes of control measurements); a 2 -conventional tillage across the slope; a 3 -conventional tillage across the slope with surface mulching; a 4 -soil protection advanced technology for minimum and unconventional soil tillage for maize and wheat cultivation, which was applied across the slope (Kuncheva and Dimitrov, 2020). Considering the wheat cultivation, the technology for advanced soil protection comprised operations such as vertical mulching with manure or compost and direct sowing, which were applied transversely of the slope.…”

The application of technology for water erosion control plays an essential role in development of sustainable agricultural systems. The paper presented observes the study results from a period of six years in terms of losses of mineral nitrogen and available forms of phosphorus and potassium in the cultivation of wheat and maize on sloping terrains (on calcic chernozem soil type) under the influence of water erosion processes. The impacts of four different types of technology (conventional technology performed along the slope; conventional technology applied across the slope; surface mulching; and minimum tillage with vertical mulching) on nutrient losses were tested. On average, the annual losses of mineral nitrogen, available forms of phosphorus and potassium in wheat production along the slope utilizing conventional technology were 6.0 kg·ha−1y−1, 1.6 kg·ha−1y−1, 5.9 kg·ha−1y−1, and 11.3 kg·ha−1y−1, 2.1 kg kg·ha−1y−1, 10.8 kg kg·ha−1y−1 in maize production. The lowest losses in these elements occurred with minimal employment of tillage system, as they reached values of 2.3 kg·ha−1y−1; 0.6 kg·ha−1y−1, 2.0 kg·ha−1y−1, respectively, in wheat production, and 1.7 kg·ha−1y−1, 0.3 kg·ha−1y−1, 1. kg·ha−1y−1, respectively, in maize production.
