Abstract. The article presents an overview of scientific research on the use of organic fertilizers in arid climates, which is highly relevant for the risky farming zone of the Volgograd region. The most significant factors influencing the reproduction of soil fertility by organic fertilizers are highlighted. These include the impact on agronomic structure, soil water balance, soil microbiota, and plant nutrition components; the specifics of agrotechnical methods of fertilizer application; the role of agrochemical soil monitoring; and the economic efficiency of use of organic fertilizers. The results of studies by Russian scientists demonstrating the positive effect of organic fertilizers on the agrochemical properties of soils, crop yields, and the sustainability of agrocenoses in arid conditions are presented. An analysis of regional sources of organic fertilizers in the Volgograd region was conducted.
Key words: organic fertilizers, soil fertility, arid conditions, soil microbiota, plant nutrition, agrotechnical methods, agrochemical monitoring, Volgograd region.
