Soil Quality Assessment Principles for Vegetable Crops

Abstract

The requirements of different crops for soil fertility also vary. Therefore, the development of soil quality assessment principles for a particular crop type is one of the important issues. Most of the work on soil quality assessment in Uzbekistan has been developed for cotton. It is known that at present, along with cotton, great attention is paid to the cultivation of vegetables, melons and legumes. The article describes the principles of developing a soil-based assessment scale for vegetable crops and the calculation of grading coefficients. It also highlights the improvement of soil fertility and the increase in quality scores through the planting of legumes and fodder crops.
