Practical experience in improving soil fertility and moisture retention through cover crops, reduced tillage, and soil analysis. The project demonstrates how accurate agronomic data supports informed decision-making, efficient resource management, and improved farm productivity.
🌱 Soil analysis is the lens through which I view all farming technologies.
Today, we are in Boryspil district, at Biotech LTD, where we meet Anatolii Bykin — a farmer, agrochemist, researcher, and practitioner with many years of experience.
How can we preserve soil moisture? Why should fields not be left bare? What role do cover crops play, and is it possible to farm effectively without ploughing?
🌿 Using oilseed radish sown after potatoes as an example, we explore how green manure crops work, what happens to soil structure, how organic matter accumulates, and why microbiological activity is so important.
But the main question is: how can we make the right agronomic decisions without spending money unnecessarily?
Anatolii Viktorovych believes that there are no one-size-fits-all farming technologies. Every field has its own characteristics, and soil analysis is what helps us understand what it needs.
🎥 In the new video, discover real-life experience, practical observations, and farming technologies that have been tested over many years.
Watch and share in the comments: do you use cover crops on your farm?
