Under current conditions of climate change and intensive anthropogenic pressure on soils, it is extremely important for the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine to increase the productivity of crops. In recent years, there has been an increase in air temperature, unstable soil moisture in important phases of plant growth, reduced water permeability and moisture availability to plants, compaction, destruction of agronomically valuable structure, which necessitated finding ways aimed at strengthening the biological capabilities of crops and their adaptation to unfavorable soil and physical conditions. The results of laboratory and field research to test different ways of adapting crops to unfavorable agrophysical parameters of the arable soil layer, based on enhancing the growth of the root system and improving its physiological activity through: agrotechnical activities, selection of adaptive varieties of different intensity types and application of mineral fertilizers. It is proved that the use of the developed methods improves the germination, growth and development of crops, increases the productivity of their root system and promotes sustainable yields of crops.
