On the morning of February 24, a large-scale invasion of Ukraine by the russian invaders began. War has come to our land…
Ukrainians rallied and stood up for their homeland. Each of us makes an effort to bring victory closer.
Spring has come, which means it’s time to sow the fields — our Ukrainian fields! Despite the war, cherish and take care of Ukrainian soils!
As farmers say — if the fields are sown, then everything will be fine!
We would like to inform you that the state institution “Institute of soil protection of Ukraine” is working normally to help agricultural producers in this difficult time for the country to get high and safe yields of agricultural crops for the sake of food security of our country.
Where there are no active military operations (with the prior approval of the United territorial communities), the institution and its branches can conduct an agrochemical survey of agricultural land, which allows monitoring the qualitative state of the soil cover. Based on the results of an agrochemical survey conducted by the institution, a passport of a field or land plot is made, which records the levels of soil nutrient supply, the levels of their contamination with toxic substances and radionuclides. The document allows you to control changes in indicators over time. In case of emergencies, man-made disasters accompanied by chemical, biological and radioactive contamination, which is, unfortunately, possible as a result of military operations, the land user can determine the real levels of soil pollution, the possibility of their use, methods of rehabilitation. Laboratories of the institution, at the request of agricultural producers, are ready to perform analytical studies to determine soil fertility indicators and levels of its contamination with radionuclides, heavy metals and residual amounts of pesticides. Determine the qualitative composition of mineral and organic fertilizers and various types of meliorants. Also determine water and plant quality indicators.
The institution continues its scientific activity. At the moment, the final Scientific Reports on the implementation of design, technological and research works for the XI round (2016—2020) by the branches of the SI “Derzhgruntokhorona” are being processed. Review and defense in the online format of final reports will be carried out after receiving their electronic versions.
Based on the results of the research, the institution has prepared a collection of scientific papers No. 12 “sSoil protection”, which will soon be posted on the institution’s website in the “Publications” section. These are 42 articles by the institution’s specialists.
We do not forget about the drawing contest “LET’S SAVE THE SOILS OF OUR NATIVE UKRAINE”. We are sincerely grateful to our Ukrainian children for their drawings. Now we are restoring the processing of the received creative children’s works.
The Institute’s specialists make efforts to help agricultural producers who, despite wartime, take care of the future harvest.
We sincerely wish Ukraine VICTORY, favorable weather and a successful sowing campaign!
Slava Ukrayini! /Glory To Ukraine/!
