ABSTRACT

Problems in searching for additional reserves of basic biogenic elements and natural biologically active organic compounds that play a significant role in increasing the yield of farm crops and in maintenance of soil fertility are considered. The use of water layers of benthic horizons enriched in biogenic elements and of biomass of eutrophic water objects may be one of such reserves. Examples of practical realization of such tasks as an ecologically expedient procedure for decreasing negative actions during return into soil of definite reserves of biogenic elements are presented.
