Abstract

The article provides information about the Imereti region of Georgia. With existing yellow flags Research conducted on soils. The aim of the research was the agro-melioration of this type of heavy mechanical composition of soils and the improvement of their physical properties as a result of these measures. The task was to identify and alleviate the factors hindering plant growth and development on yellow earth soils, in the context of agro-landscapes changed by climate change due to global warming. Based on the results of the research, an effective method of conducting agro-ameliorative measures was identified on the experimental site. We selected effective agro-ecological technologies for the yellow-earth soils of the Imereti region of western Georgia. This type of soil of heavy physical and mechanical composition was given the opportunity to be included in agricultural rotation as an agricultural production tool and a reserve agro-economic fund.
