Necessity and possibility of introduction of new minimum technologies of soybean cultivation in the Amur region

The article considers the need for the use of minimum technologies for growing soybeans in the Amur region, which is due to: saving resources, increasing productivity and product quality, preserving and improving fertility, and preventing soil erosion. Possibility of application of the minimum technologies-correspondence of need of culture to soil and climatic conditions, machines and mechanisms to the sizes of fields and their relief, availability of the enterprises, material base and manpower. For soybean cultivation in the Amur region, minimum technologies in the recommended volume and sequence of technological operations are not applicable, but for other regions they are applicable. For their adaptation in the field it is necessary to combine different elements of the analyzed technologies.
