Abstract
In an agrarian economy like Moldova’s, many economic and social problems may be mitigated by protection and amelioration of the soil. The arable is not in good health; some 865,000 ha, more than 25 % of the country, is eroded or humus-depleted and the degraded area is expanding. Starting from a firm, anti-erosion foundation, the productive capacity of degraded lands may be rebuilt by the rational use of manure which contributes biologically available energy and increases heterogeneity, humus stocks, and crop yields.
