ИСТИНА

The proposed methods are significant and their demand is increasing. The methods are not equivalent in their elaboration. Some of the methods need to be improved and calibrated. A broad comparison database is also needed. However, the intensity of the development of the SH problem,progress in the development of methods and their application, depends largely on the reaction of the world, first scientific, and then consumer society. Discussed methods are mainly developed by the authors of this communication.The answer to a possible question about the contribution of the international scientific community in the development of the SH topic, in the development of methods for determining the SH, given that the SH problem was posed by American scientists (USA), is rather difficult to find. An analysis of the literature leads to an interesting conclusion. In the USA and Western European countries, the scientific community and practitioners focused on the "depths" of the use of organic farming, and the studies of the theory and practice of soil health, the health of the soil ecosystem were postponed for "later" (*www.greencoverseed.com).
