On the territory of Belarusian Polesye some objects of peat soil drainage reclamation (30-450 years old after the drainage) are chosen. The hydro-physical and biochemical properties of peat soil, the forms of nitrogen content and fraction composition of the organic matter in soils at different agricultural usage periods (after the drainage) have been estimated. The findings of the research have revealed that during the agricultural utilization of the soil a complete degradation of drained peat soils does not take place. The most active phase of the organic matter mineralization in peat is finished after 40 years of usage, and in 200 years the biochemical processes stabilize. It is established that producing of the agricultural production is efficient (soil spare treatment, the most effective combination of organic matter, macro- and microfertilizers, adaptation of some crops). The soil may be used for an indefinite long time.
