    Abstract:
    Rice straw used as organic fertilizer on alkali takyr-like soils has a good effect, as has been confirmed in pot and field experiments. Under the climatic conditions of of southern Kazakhstan, cut straw can be applied to the soil before rice is sown. The favorable effect of the straw is related to its meliorating action. Products of straw decomposition decrease the pH of the soil, and improve its physical properties.
