Agrochemistry Department of the Kazakh Research Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry named after U.U. Uspanov. U.U. Uspanov was organized on the basis of the Laboratory of Soil Chemistry, functioning since the foundation of the Institute in 1945. In different years, the division was headed by prominent scientists: E.S. Sushko, Y.F. Pil, I.I. Emelyanov, I.S. Mezhenin, K.I. Imangaziev, P.G. Grabarov, S.N. Fedosov, S.M. Seifullina, B.U. Suleimenov, G.A. Saparov. Since 2020, the department has been headed by candidate of agricultural sciences Bakhytbek Mustafauly Amirov.
Currently, 10 researchers work in the department, including doctor of sciences - 1, candidate of sciences - 2, PhD - 1, master of sciences - 3, specialist with higher education - 1, bachelor - 2.
Main directions of scientific research
1. arrying out of complex soil-agrochemical surveys with the subsequent drawing up of agrochemical cartograms of fields. Scientifically grounded methods of restoration, preservation and increase of soil fertility are developed and introduced, taking into account the specifics of agro-ecological zones and the level of land degradation. Special attention is paid to differentiated approach to management of soil resources and agrotechnologies based on monitoring data.
2. Study and optimization of mineral nutrition of plants. The mechanisms of influence of macro- and micro-fertilizers, biostimulants and growth regulators on physiological and biochemical processes in plants are studied. Effective nutrition systems are being developed to ensure sustainable crop productivity at different levels of water supply and soil fertility, including saline and depleted soils.
3. Development and scientific substantiation of fertilizers and biopreparations application Recommendations on rational use of mineral, organic and bioorganic fertilizers, adaptogens, growth regulators and biological preparations depending on soil and climatic conditions, biological features of crops and the level of resource availability of farms are formulated. The principles of environmental safety, sustainability of agro-ecosystems and economic efficiency are taken into account.
4. Modeling of crop production process. A special direction of research is related to mathematical modeling of crop formation processes, including:
- modeling the influence of mineral nutrition, moisture availability, salt load and other agroecological factors on plant growth and development;
- building predictive models of crop productivity depending on the agrochemical state of the soil.
At the same time, the problems and limitations of modeling remain relevant, including:
- insufficient verification of models in real conditions of field farming;
- high variability of soil parameters at the micro-landscape level;
- lack of baseline data on bioavailability of nutrient elements in specific soil conditions;
- the need to adapt models to local soil-climatic realities and agro-technologies.
These challenges determine the need to create a national database of agrochemical and agroecological data, as well as to integrate models into precision farming and digital monitoring systems.

Future of soil-agrochemical research - strategic priorities
In the conditions of increasing challenges associated with soil degradation, climatic changes and increasing requirements for
sustainable agriculture, the future of soil-agrochemical research in the Republic of Kazakhstan should be focused on the implementation of integrated strategic directions
aimed at the preservation and reproduction of soil fertility as a key resource for food security of the country.
The main priority directions are as follows:
Development of a geographical network of stationary experiments with fertilizers, based on the creation of long-term monitoring sites on the main soil types of the Republic of Kazakhstan (on the basis of regional subsidiaries of NANOC),
which will provide:
- scientifically based management of soil resources,
- ecological sustainability of agrocenoses,
- obtaining reliable data on mineral nutrition of plants,
- improving the methodology of calculation of agrochemical standards,
- formation of a scientific base for landscape agrochemistry, taking into account the spatial heterogeneity of agrolandscapes,
- levels of soil fertility and the degree of intensification of farming,
- use of precision farming technologies and intelligent software solutions to improve the efficiency of agrochemical survey and
- crop productivity management,
- research on the effectiveness and environmental safety of new forms of macro- and micro-fertilizers, biostimulants, biopreparations and other agrochemicals.
Modeling crop yield formation processes under conditions of limited water supply and on soils subject to salt degradation has a number of key scientific, practical and strategic advantages, especially in the context of sustainable agriculture and adaptation to climate change.
The models allow:
- account for the combined effects of drought, salt, temperature, pH, nutrients and other factors.
- simulate different irrigation options, fertilizer doses, tillage practices and predict their impact on yields.
- integrate into precision farming and agro-GIS systems to zone fields by risk level and yield.
- Anticipate potential crop failure and take early action.
- avoid over-fertilization and over-application of fertilizer and irrigation water, reducing human impact on soils and water sources.
- Ensure balanced use and restoration of fertility.
Modeling of crop yields under conditions of drought and salt degradation is a new generation tool that combines science, practice
and technology and plays a crucial role in adapting agriculture to changing conditions and in ensuring sustainable food production.
Realization of the above research directions requires coordinated efforts of scientific institutions, agrarian universities and state bodies.
Only on the basis of scientifically based soil fertility management it is possible to ensure sustainable agriculture, food independence and environmental sustainability of agrarian systems of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
