Scientific Aspects of Organic Soy Production in Ukraine

Abstract Taking into account European experience, theoretical and methodological foundations of scientific aspects of organic soybean production in Ukraine have been implemented, aimed at the greening of agriculture, through the preservation of natural soil fertility and the rational use of bioecosystems. It has been established that soybean production, through the introduction of bioorganic technologies, contributes to the improvement of agricultural culture, the restoration of soil fertility, and an increase in the amount of protein products and nutritious feeds. Experimental studies have proven that soil organic matter is a key indicator of its fertility, since it actively affects plant nutrition and improves the physicochemical properties of the soil, as well as the migration of chemical elements. The most important soil processes are closely related to the greening of the agricultural sector. It has been proven that the main source of organic matter for increasing soil fertility is the development of organic models of soybean growing technologies. It is substantiated that the agrobiological potential of these technologies in sustainable production zones of non-irrigated lands will contribute to the creation of a “Soybean belt”. A new stage in soybean production is proposed, which will allow rational use of the region’s hydrothermal resources, increase the gross yield of soybean seeds, promote the biologisation of agriculture and the production of high-quality and environmentally friendly products.
