Аннотация:Effectiveness of humic-based natural biopolymers from peat and coal (“Peatgel” and “Coalgel”) used as soil modifiers (SM) to create fertile artificial soils is evaluated. The effect of increasing rates of SM (0, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13 and 15%) on the agrochemical and hydrophysical soil properties and wheat plants productivity has been studied in pot experiment. It is shown that both SM in the increasing rates positively affect soil agrochemical parameters. Both SM drastically increase the proportion of medium and large soil aggregates, whereas the share of fine particles decreased. The most significant changes were observed when the content of soil organic matter achieved 6 % and higher. For artificial soils based on “Peatgel”, the optimal proportion of SM was 13-15%, and for the ones based on “Coalgel” it was 7-13%.
