Abstract
Existing approaches in substantiation of cost efficiency of complex meliorations do not consider the ecological factors to proper extent, that can cause its’ overestimation. The priority should be given to ecological factor (minimization of negative impact on the environment) at maximum possible productivity of agro landscape. The models and methods developed to substantiate ecological-and-economical efficiency of complex meliorations allow giving scientific grounds for adequate complex melioration impacts, including agrochemical, agro-forestry engineering, hydro engineering meliorations, proportions of agricultural lands and biological diversity of the land area with a view of formation the sustainable and productive agro landscapes.

Abstract
It is found that treatment works of agriproduct processing plant have treated surface discharges from oil products in the best possible way (by 97%). Amount of Ntotal in biological treatment ponds reduced by 27%, and ammonia N - by 45%. There was no effect from nitrate and nitrite treatment, because concentration of these elements was very low in rainfall run-offs. The water was drained clean into environment; concentration of chemicals in treated surface (rainfall) run-offs was below permissible level by 2-21 times.

Abstract
Analysis of functioning conditions of ameliorative systems, which effect the hibernation of winter crops and perennial grasses, was carried out. Possibility of ground water table control in polder systems with pump water drain closer to the surface, than it is required according to condition of preventing heaving of soil, was considered. It was demonstrated that higher position of ground water tables during no vegetation period, from one side, aggravates hibernation conditions and results in increasing the danger of soil heaving, from the other side it reduces the danger of crops losses from blowout and enables saving of energy, required for pumping out of water.

Abstract
Immitation of irregularities of macrorelief by echelon-type, spaced apart, hinged aggregate is provided by length regulation of top links of front and back mounted tools. At this, the limiting corrections are spread in time, that enables one hydraulic liquid vessel to be used for both regulating systems. If regulation is not available, aggregate doesn’t provide cultivation according to agrotechnical requirements while traveling to a slope. It is possible to regulate the length of top links in advance to prevent different while traveling on slope. Top link of the front mounted device is to be extended by 6 mm at 5° slope, and top link of back mounted device is to be shortened by 10 mm.

Abstract
Biological drainage (forest planting, perennial grasses (Lucerne and others) with deep root system (2-4 m and above), main crops (e.g. wheat, cotton plant and others) embrace leakage and ground waters and utilize them for transpiration. Due to this the level of ground water comes down, ground water rise and salt build-up in active layer are reduced. Biodrainage, as against artificial drainage and antifiltration measures, requires low capital investments, softens microclimate, protects crops seeds from harmful effect of dry winds, reduces evaporation from water surface and lowers wind speed over the surface of soil.

Abstract
Mathematical models are developed for crop yield forecasting. Calculated values and actual data have quite satisfactory convergence and after carrying out adaptive study they can be applied in different countries. Scenarios «Variations of water volumes between crops», «Variations of crops’ areas» and «Variations of water volumes and crops’ areas» were developed, in which perspectives of distribution of water and land resources in water user associations for in time correction of water consumption plans and performing monitoring in farms and dekhane (peasants) households are taken into consideration. For the programs to be realized, it is necessary to determine exact market value, amount of water resources and sufficient number of water meters.

Abstract
50 years after drainage of peat bed a tendency to reduction of organic matters and carbon content in its’ upper layer was found out. Content of iron, calcium and nitrogen is also reduced. In peat soil, used in agriculture, content of phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium in 0-20 s layer, as well as in 21-40 sm layer, is increased (as compared to wild lands), and correlation of С/N practically is not changed. Due to long time agricultural application, mineralization of organic matters in peat and smacking of undersoil transformation of chemical composition occurs: content of chemical elements is reduced in top soil as well as in subsurface layers, correlation of С/N is sky-rocketing, approaching the values, peculiar for area sod-podzol soils. Intensity of transformation of quantitative and qualitative chemical content of peat soils is enhanced in case of saturation of crop area by tiller crops.

Abstract
Inoculation of lupine seeds by sapronite preparation, stock culture of legume bacteria R. lupini 1422, while growing pure, provided yield increase of green fodder on the level of 7.5 c/ha. Bacterization of seeds of leguminous component in composition of binary mixture with oak of Asilak grade is non-effective due to raise of oak competitiveness and reduction of lupine competitiveness. At this competitiveness grow of oak plants in agrophytocenosis was observed not only due to application of biologically assimilated nitrogen, but also due to application of mineral nitrogen.

Abstract
Investigations in conditions of Belarus Poozerye revealed advantage of corn productivity compared to Lucerne. As for collection of crude protein quite inverse dependence was observed: for Lucerne this index changed within limits of 19.6-20.7 c, for corn - 18.4-18.7 c/ha. It was found that to reach balance in digestible protein of green materials of corn with productivity 194 c/hа of c. un., it is required above two hectares of Lucerne planting with yield level of 86 c/hа of c. un. Comparative analysis has also shown that corn is better to be fed to dairy cows. At this, cost-efficiency reaches 21.7-38.1. And on the contrary, feeding of cattle stock by corn appeared to be loss making. In summing up expenses and earnings from milk and meat realization, cost-efficiency changes within limits of 1.1-15.1%.
