Fertilizer Application as a Factor of Economic Security in Achieving Effective Land Use in the Conditions of Environmental Development

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the process of agricultural development by determining the effectiveness of fertilizer application for various crops within the framework of fostering an ecological environment that underpins economic security. The following general scientific and special research methods were used in the research: monographic, logical-theoretical, statistical, economic-mathematical, system analysis, computational-analytical, abstract-logical, and generalization. The effectiveness of fertilization for sowing crops under conditions of restriction of agricultural land has been assessed. The essence of the concept of ecological environment, which is formed as a result of agricultural activity through the use of mineral and organic fertilizers to ensure effective land cultivation, has been proved. Correlation-regression analysis is used to identify the relationship between the volumes of application of mineral and organic fertilizers for crops of cereals and leguminous crops (without corn), corn, industrial crops, and fodder crops, which made it possible to identify a significant dependence in most cases. Still, a variety of types of regression equations are observed.
