Abstract

The change of basic agrochemical soil properties in a farm with ecological system of farming («Liptovska Teplicka») during three years period was observed. It was found that with high rates of farmyard manure (60 t per ha) there is possible to keep the favourable pH value of soil and also the contents of available nutrients did not change very markedly. Triticale was found as the most suitable cereal in given climatic conditions. It is important to grow leguminous plants to secure relatively high yield of fodder plants. There is possible to reach the stability of agroecosystem with the biodiversity of farming area and with return of organic matter into the soil.
