Abstract

The study of bioecological properties of soils formed under hazelnuts is a very important and urgent issue for the economically efficient cultivation of hazelnuts in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The bio-activity of row spacing and tree trunk strips was determined. In ten-year-old hazelnut orchards, the cellulolytic activity of the soil (in the 10–100 cm layer) between rows is lower than in tree trunk strips: on mountain gray-brown soils, gray-brown soils – by 6.8 times, on gray-meadow soils – by 5.8, on forest soil – by 8.5 times. Least significant difference in gray-brown soils (LSD05 = 4.5%): in the 0-10 cm layer by 7.1%, 10-40 cm – 11.2%; in the near-trunk strips, compared to the inter-rows, less yeast was noted: in the 0-10 cm layer at 4481 CFU/g, 10-40 cm – 1427 CFU/g (LSD05 = 55 CFU/g); fewer mold fungi in the near-trunk strips than in the row spacing in the 0-10 cm layer at 388 CFU/g, 10-40 cm – 63 CFU/g (LSD05 = 25 CFU/g). In forest soil, the bacterial content in the inter-row zone is lower than in the near-trunk strip: in the 0-10 cm layer at 15 CFU/g, 10-40 cm – 21 CFU/g (LSD05 = 8 CFU/g). The yeast content was lower in the row spacing, relative to the trunk strip (LSD05 = 45 CFU/g): in the 0–10 cm layer by 1436 CFU/g, 10-40 cm – 1901 CFU/g. mold fungi are less (LSD05 = 22 CFU/g): in the 0–10 cm layer at 337 CFU/g, 10-40 cm – 139 CFU/g. Mountain gray-brown soils in the inter-row zone, relative to the near-trunk strip, there were fewer bacteria (LSD05 = 4 CFU/g) in the layer of 10-40 cm by 6 CFU/g. The amount of yeasts in the inter-row zone is lower (LSD05 = 32 CFU/g) than in the near-trunk strip: in the 0–10 cm layer by 44246 CFU/g, 10-0 cm – 29014 CFU/g. Mold fungi were counted less (LSD05 = 32 CFU/g): in the 0-10 cm layer by 703 CFU/g, 10-40 cm – 2113 CFU/g. It has been established that in all areas of the garden, yeast and mold fungi are usually more abundant in the 0-10 cm layer, and bacteria in the 10-40 cm layer.
