Biologized Technology of Watermelon Growing with Drop Irrigation

The processes that determine the nutrient status, biological activity of the soil were researched; the potential fertility of the soil in terms of energy stored in the "soil-plant" system using soil cover culture as a transformer of photosynthetic activity of plants (PAP) energy into organic matter was estimated; the best soil culture for binary microstrips watermelon growing (witer rye) was determined, which predominates over other cultures.
