The analysis of the literature data testifies the supreme importance of microorganisms in soil formation and maintaining of its fertility. They transform plant residues; take part in soil structuring; formation of humus and its mineralization. Microorganisms play global role in renewing of the biosphere, including soils, with mineral nitrogen, mobilization of phosphorus from organic and sparingly soluble inorganic joins. Very important, but not sufficiently studied is the participation of microorganisms in mobilization of potassium in agroecosystems.
