Бонитетна оценка на Техногенни почви. Част III. Пригодност за отглеждане на фуражни култури | Relative Evaluation of Technosols. Part III. Suitability for Forage Crops Cultivation

болгарский. This article is а natural continuation оf studies aimed аt evaluating the suitability of Technosols reclaimed with humus layer for agriculture. The studied soils (mine spoils) are deep and not differentiated with loam оr clay loam texture. The humus horizon is structural and shallow (30 cm) with low humus content (2-4%). It traces a clear morphological border with the sublayers of green-yellow clays, which are very poor in nutritious elements. The medium reaction is neutral to slightly alkaline throughout the profile depth.The evaluation of geo-ecological conditions for growing 7 forage crops without irrigation is presented in the article. The land relative evaluation is calculated using the square root method and principles set out by Petrov et al. (1988), Sys et al. (1991) and Georgiev (2007).According to the Bulgarian methodology (Petrov et al., 1988) the Technosols, built with 30 cm humus horizon (Mollic) of Leached Smolnitsa (Haplic Vertisols, IUSS Working Group WRB, 2006) belong to evaluating group of “very good land” for farming: common (Vicia sativa L.) and winter vetch, common and winter pea (Pisum sativum L.), meadow grass (Poa pratensis), birdsfoot (Lotus corniculatus L.), tall fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) and cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.). Soils аrе less suitable for growing alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and fall into the category “good lands”.According to the FAO classification (1976) the Technosols are also evaluated as “very suitable, without restrictions” (class S1) for farming: winter vetch, birdsfoot (Lotus corniculatus L.), tall fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.), cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.), common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), аn ordinary pea (Pisum sativum L.) аnd meadow grass (Poa pratensis) but they аre “moderately suitable” for alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.).
