The effect of methods of grazing on the performance of the soil cover of pastures

Abstract

The article presents data of researches on studying of influence of different technologies of grazing on the performance of the soil cover of light chestnut soils of semi-desert zone of West Kazakhstan region. The purpose and objectives of the research are to study the impact of grazing farm animals on the state of pasture cenoses, for the purpose of their rational use. The research found indicators of soil grasslands semi-arid zone, depending on the technology of grazing agricultural animals. As shown by the research data, the content of humus, mobile phosphorus, increased compaction and salinization processes are reduced in haphazard intensive grazing on light chestnut soils of the semi-desert zone of the West Kazakhstan region. The research results are relevant and find their practical application in the rational use of pasture ecosystems.
