Abstract
The article highlights the peculiarities of using cover crops as a promising method of increasing the yield of the main crops and increasing the potential of soils in the countries of the world and in Ukraine. Usually, the average producer of agricultural products looks for ways to increase the yield of agricultural crops through the least resistance by applying mineral fertilizers that affect the level of harvest in the short term. At the same time, the resources of the planet Earth are gradually being exhausted, the effects of geopolitical crises are taking place, which leads to an increase in the price of the main types of fertilizers and a decrease in their supply on the market. Thus, it becomes more and more difficult to achieve an increase in the yield level, taking into account the trends. Accordingly, the solution that partially covers the need for fertilizer in this case is the use of cover crops. And separately, the cultivation of cover crops in the best possible way affects the improvement of the general condition of the soil cover, the development of useful microflora, the improvement of the aggregate composition of the soil, the slowing down of soil erosion, moisture retention, suppression of weeds and other parameters that allow growing a higher-quality crop and preserving soil potential in every country in the world. Understanding this, governments in many countries of the world implement policies to support farmers, aimed at increasing the area of cover crops. At the same time, in developing countries, the use of cover crops is determined by each farmer individually. Therefore, in order to cover the lack of information on the topic and focus the farmer's attention on the main principles and benefits and risks of using cover crops, the author offers this article. In global practice, there are many technological approaches to the cultivation of cover crops. To one degree or another, they correspond to the conditions of the territory and the agro-meteorological parameters of a particular region. The issue of using mixtures of cover crop plants requires a more detailed study, since among the list of cultivated plants used for sowing as siderates there are species that have their own characteristics in terms of the amount of biomass or branched root system. Thus, under the conditions of a specific region, it is important to choose the right cultivated plants, which will ensure, for example, a reduction in soil compaction or an increase in the content of organic matter. The issues of the method of sowing and the method of grinding also require a separate information base.
