Ii. Filon et al., CONCENTRATION AND MAKEUP OF HUMUS IN A TYPICAL CHERNOZEM AND CROP PRODUCTIVITY AFTER APPLICATION OF FERTILIZERS, Eurasian soil science, 24(9), 1992, pp. 120-125
Prolonged application of increasing amounts of mineral fertilizer toge
ther with manure increased the total humous content of a Typical Chern
ozem in the northern Forest Steppe of the Ukraine. There was a decreas
e in the optical densities of ten various humic acid fractions. Data o
n changes in crop productivity with increasing levels of fertilization
are presented.
