We discuss the influence of weather conditions (increased humidity, rain, snow) on the effectiveness of preventive fireproof treatment of forests and soil with amidophosphate KM. The dependence of the required level of fireproof treatment of forests and soil on the amount of precipitation during one calendar year has been established. We also estimated the minimum required amount of amidophosphate KM for repeated preventive treatment of forests and ground cover. Here we present the results of tests carried out in the field.
