Structure of acreage for the Republic of North Ossetia — Alania

 Relevance. The most important condition for the growth of crop production is the correct use of arable land, improving the structure of crops.

Methodology. The research was carried out on the basis of the scientific principles and approaches set out in the methodological guidelines: “Agroecological assessment of land, design of adaptive landscape systems of agriculture and agrotechnologies” (Moscow: RASKHN, 2005, ed. academicians of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences A.L. Ivanov and V.I. Kiryushin).

Results. For a more efficient use of arable land, increasing the yield of major agricultural crops, meeting the needs of farms with crop production, improving soil fertility, we have developed a structure of sown areas taking into account the specific agro-climatic conditions of the regions. Mozdok district: winter cereals in the structure of sown areas should occupy 42%, corn for grain — 15%, legumes — 7%, sunflower — 12%, fodder —16–17%. Kirovsky district: in the structure of sown areas, winter cereals should occupy 31%, corn for grain — 32%, legumes — 7%, fodder — 16–17%. Alagirsky
district: for winter crops in the structure of sown areas it is necessary to allocate 22% of arable land, for corn for grain — 34%, industrial and vegetables — 7%, fodder crops up to 37–40%. Irafsky district: winter crops in the structure of sown areas should occupy 22%, corn for grain — 30%, fodder crops — up to 45%. Digorsky district: in the structure of sown areas, winter crops should occupy 28%, corn for grain — 30%, legumes — 7%, forage crops — up to 30%. Right-bank region: winter cereals — 26%,
corn for grain — 30%, legumes — 7%, industrial crops and vegetables — 14%, fodder — 23%. Prigorodny district: the share of winter grains should account for 32% of arable land, corn for grain — 27%, potatoes and vegetables — 19% and forage crops — 17%. Ardon region: winter cereals — 27%, corn for grain — 27%, legumes — 7%, potatoes and vegetables — 11%, forage crops — 28%.
