Biostimulator for Arid Pastures in the South of Kazakhstan

Long-term unsystematic use of near-settlement pastures in the desert zone of South Kazakhstan had a negative impact on the physic-chemical parameters of Calcisol. Excessive grazing leads to trampling of soil and reduction of soil fertility. The aim of the study was to develop a technology to improve the productivity of degraded near-settlement pastures. The tasks of the research were to determine the effect application of environmental safe biostimulator and biofertilizer on microbial communities, the content of carbon and phosphorus in the soil, the effectiveness of biostimulator application on degraded pastures in order to increase green mass. For this purpose, geobotanical, bacteriological and helminthological methods of analysis were used. The result of the used proposed technology is the activation of soil microorganisms, which leads to the prevention of degradation of arid pastures. The results of the conducted research contribute to the introduction of a better technology to increase the productivity of arid near-settlement pastures. Statistical analysis of the experiments showed that all manipulations on soil microorganisms increase the number and green mass of arid plants.
