DYNAMICS OF MOISTURE SUPPLY IN LEACHED CHERNOZEM UNDER WINTER WHEAT UNDER NO-TILLAGE CONDITIONS

The paper presents the results of systematic observations of soil moisture dynamics from May to November 2022. The main focus is on monitoring the reserves of productive soil in the 1‑meter layer. The obtained data allowed for a quantitative assessment of the seasonal dynamics of the studied process, from the accumulation of moisture in the spring to its intensive consumption during the growing season and subsequent restoration in the autumn. The paper analyzes the relationship between changes in moisture reserves and the phenological phases of plant development, as well as precipitation.
