on drained peat soils of graingrass crop rotations had promoted relatively high microbiological activity of the plow layer, preservation of organic matter and had ensured the complete needs of cultures in mineral nitrogen. That ensures functioning of agro-ecosystems in conditions close to the natural ones. The intensive use of peat soils in tilled crop rotation leads to excessive microbiological activity and fast decomposition of the organic matter of peat deposits.
