ABSTRACT
The results of a 15-year investigation on the dynamics of organic matter in peat soil under the conditions of sand-mix culture (SMC) are presented. The generalisation of the obtained results show that the SMC of peat soil in combination with the organic-mineral ferti-lizer system allows stabilisation of the balance of orga- nic matter in arable layer and conservation of the organic matter below the arable layer. The application of mine-ral fertilizer only does not allow the creation of a zero balan- ce of organic matter even by using perennial grasses crop rotation.
