Justification of modern moisture sorbent composition usage by agricultural lands reclamation

The paper discusses the rationale for the use of modern moisture sorbent composition by reclamation of agricultural lands. The data of laboratory and field experiments are analyzed. In the course of work, an optimal composition of the composition of the moisture sorbents, including hydrogel (1%), glauconitic sand (27%), sapropel (52%), shell deposits has been developed (20%). On the results of the chemical composition of the moisture sorbents and soil, the best fractional composition for improving water-physical and air properties has been identified. The coefficients of dispersion and structural properties of soil before (6 and 94%) and after (3 and 97%) the application of moisture sorbents was determined by analytical method. The contents of humus and main nutrient elements in the soil have been determined.
