Peculiarities of Ecological Conditions for the Formation of Spring Barley Bioproductivity in the Arid Zone of Volgograd Oblast on Lands Exposed to Deflation

Abstract

Materials on the study of the complex effect of field-protective forest plantings and basic soil cultivation technologies on the growth, development, and productivity of the main grain cultures in the arid zone of Volgograd oblast are presented. Data on the examination of dust storm effects in the territory of the southern regions of Volgograd oblast are given. Patterns of a change in the agrophysical indicators of light chestnut soil and peculiarities of the formation of spring barley productivity in the interband space in years with different levels of water availability were established. The studies demonstrated that some agrophysical soil indicators in agroforest landscapes change differentially in the interband space.
