Studies to substantiate the effectiveness of fertilizing irrigation with livestock runoff have been conducted in various regions of the Russian Federation, the Baltic States, and foreign countries. In the Republic of Belarus, scientists of the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy, the Institute of Land Reclamation and Meadow Management of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, the Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, and some branch institutes of the National Academy of Sciences have been working on this problem in different years. At the same time, despite more than 20 years of experience in irrigation with livestock runoff, the applied recycling technology requires further improvement. That is why the justification of the modes of technology for the use of livestock runoff in irrigation fields in the conditions of technological pollution of land is an urgent scientific problem, and the development of new environmentally friendly technological solutions is of great practical importance.
