Potash waste used in soil fertility experiments in Minsk District
What happened
Aleksandr Lukashenko inspected an experiment in the Minsk District at the Dzerzhinsky Agro-Industrial Complex. The study aimed to improve the fertility of sandy soils by mixing organic fertilizers with peat and potash waste. Lukashenko noted that plots using potassium production waste and organic fertilizers showed better results than those that used no fertilizers.
