Methodical approaches to the definition and optimization of criteria of soil protection efficiency of crop rotation in the regions exposed to deflation

Abstract

This paper shows the directions of optimization and methods for determining the ecological and economic parameters that characterize the protective properties of crop rotations in areas with dust storms. The calculation algorithm, mathematical apparatus, and information-reference base are given. Their application permits crop rotations to be formed as early as the stage of design with the least loss of soil and costs for fertility restoration.
