| Abstract |
To satisfy the needs needs of the national agricultural industry, the Republic of Azerbaijan possesses essential resources of fertilizer stock in the form of minerals and mining-and-processing waste. It is found that the most economically efficient and ecologically safe material is boron-rich breccias of mud volcanos in Azerbaijan. Apart from freshly erupted mud-volcano breccias, the valued micro-fertilizers can be magnesian boric compounds—slurry product after extraction of boron from breccias. The article gives information on usability of boric–magnesian fertilizers in cropping. |
