The need for an agrochemical field passport for business entities
A land plot (for agricultural purposes) is not only a territory, but also a soil cover that ensures the formation of a certain level of yield of agricultural plants. The level of yield is determined by the state of the soil cover, that is, the content of humus, nutrients, trace elements, water-physical properties and, of course, the content of toxic components (residues of pesticides, heavy metals, radionuclides, etc.). All this set of indicators can be established on the basis of laboratory analysis of the soil, which is the basis of the agrochemical passport of the field.
That is, the agrochemical passport is a high-tech product that allows you to give a clear assessment of the state of productivity (the level of possible yield) and the ecological level of safety of the land plot. It also provides for entering data every 5-10 years, depending on the type of land use. At its core, this is the patient’s medical record, which is your ground, from which you can unambiguously judge the state of his health, if necessary, establish a diagnosis, and if necessary – apply treatment.
Therefore, we will analyze the need for a passport for business entities:
- summer residents – first of all, it is possible to calculate the optimal amount of fertilizers for obtaining environmentally high and safe yields of vegetables, berries and fruits, which is probably the main goal of gardeners. A passport is also indispensable when selling a dacha plot, because in addition to the location, the buyer is interested in whether the land is fertile;
- farmers and owners of private farms that operate on their own or related shares are no less interested in conducting an agrochemical survey and periodically updating the indicators in the passport, since this is the only way to assess the state and changes in the soil that are a consequence of management. After all, the soil – with proper handling, retains its positive properties and can even improve;
- owners of units that provide their allotments for rent. After conducting a survey and receiving an agrochemical passport of a field or land plot, you have a document that records the real indicators of the state of your soils. After transferring it to the tenant, you need to discuss the condition that your property should return from the lease in no worse condition. So, according to the indicators that are reflected in the passport, you can clearly assess the quality of soil cover before the transfer and when returning from the lease of a land plot;
- tenants who take your land plot for the purpose of using it in commercial agricultural production and making a profit. For real owners, an agrochemical passport is a guarantee of physical and moral peace of mind before landlords (owners of shares). Ensuring an appropriate balance between the removal and receipt of nutrients in the soil, using modern soil protection technologies, spending appropriate resources on this, the tenant, taking into account the data of the agrochemical passport, plans their effective distribution, makes a profit and with periodic control-confirmation of proper handling of the property entrusted to him by citizens.
And one more thing. It is important for all categories of participants in land relations that in case of emergency situations (dust storms, water erosion (soil erosion), man-made disasters accompanied by chemical, biological, radioactive contamination) or negative behavior of neighbors and unauthorized persons, uncontrolled introduction of agrochemicals, which led to contamination, or deterioration of the soil cover, it is the presence of an agrochemical passport of the field (land plot) that will allow you to bring the culprit to justice or, conversely, avoid it (in case of force majeure) in an objective legal field.
