Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the need to eliminate the environmental problems associated with the irrational use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture. Biohumus is an environmentally friendly natural fertilizer, which is produced by processing food waste ringworms, whose natural habitat is compost mass and not mineral soils. Thus, the production does not violate the flora and fauna and at the same time is environmentally friendly and waste-free. Practical significance of the study consists in the development of measures, the implementation of which will allow solving environmental problems caused by the irrational use of chemical fertilizers. As part of the study, the authors proposed using biohumus as a natural fertilizer, which allows, on the one hand, reducing the chemical effect on the soil cover, reducing the chemical elements content in finished agricultural products, eliminating the plants treatment with pesticides, and on the other hand, increasing the natural yield, developing immunity in plants of various species, and improving the physical properties of the soil layers.
