New approach to soil fertility management: Biogeosystem Technique methodology (critical review)

A standard management soil priming effect is short term. A current soil plowing, irrigation and waste utilization soil priming action shortcomings elimination is needed. The Biogeosystem Technique (BGT*) priming action system was developed for soil management to provide a higher-level priming effect. The BGT* is focused on a soil biogeochemical cycle activation similar to the biodegradation in a colon of a live organism as an efficient benchmark bioreactor. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed a cooperation of bacteria within polymicrobial biofilms and a probability of the polymicrobial biofilms biodegradation process acceleration and soil organic matter (SOM) regime improvement. The soil priming actions the BGT* technological management is capable of providing are based on the BGT* constituents, whose essence, applications and corresponding detailed data are presented in available studies. The main BGT* components are as follows. The illuvial horizon intra-soil milling artificial soil aggregation (a form of crumbling and mixing) priming action provides the soil structuring, a SOM content increase and an annual yield increment direct priming effects. A long-term secondary priming effect is a technology life cycle with higher profitability compared to the standard moldboard, chiseling and three-tier plowing. The intra-soil pulse sequential-discrete watering priming action is performed through water injection into the soil in sequence. A next water spreading provides the soil aggregate stability, the seedling length and weight increment direct priming effect and a water-saving secondary priming effect. The intra-soil dispersed liquid, paste-like and loose granular nutrition and structuring matter intra-soil milling application priming action ensures soil structuring direct priming effects, heavy metals passivation and long-term yield increment secondary priming effects. The BGT* methodology could be useful for soil management improvement.
