An agricultural experiment on hilly soils has been launched

An agricultural experiment is being carried out in Belarus to improve the fertility of land that is not suitable for agriculture. This work is being carried out on behalf of the President of Belarus. The President of Belarus has pointed out that there are fields in the country that are located on hills. These fields are characterized by sandy soils. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to improve their fertility. A 20-hectare plot of land in Ostroshitsy, a town near Minsk, has been allocated for the experiment. The plan is to create a four-year research programme that will involve a more detailed study of the use of peat with waste from various industries. As a result, a range of technological methods will be developed that are suitable for each specific farm or region, depending on the soil structure, availability of peat, and type of regional waste.
