The main direction of increasing the stability and productivity of spring wheat's agrocenoses in the steppe zone of the Southern Urals
A scientific review of natural and anthropogenic factors that have the greatest impact on the stability of field agricultural landscapes and the destabilization of grain production in the Orenburg region is presented. The dynamics of annual atmospheric precipitation and air temperature in separate administrative districts representing various natural and agricultural provinces of the region is estimated. The variability of harvested areas and gross grain yields of spring wheat was analyzed, their relationship was determined, and the dependence on the hydrothermal conditions of the growing season was established. The problem of the prospects of various technological solutions aimed at leveling the negative impact of climatic and anthropogenic factors on the stability and productivity of wheat agrocenoses is considered. Techniques have been identified that contribute to a more rational use of moisture for crop formation, increasing the ability of agrocenoses to endure abnormal heat and counteract harmful objects, aimed at maintaining and replenishing soil fertility by eliminating aggressive methods of tillage and the use of organic and mineral fertilizers.
