Abstract
In a weakly or moderately polluted with oil (0.3-1.0%) the total number of soil microorganisms, including hydrocarbon-oxidizing, you can improve cultural practices (tillage, irrigation, fertilization) without making out of hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms (HOM). In the arid zone is more expedient to begin bioremediation of oil-contaminated areas of work for the fall, to use autumn and spring soil moisture for mineralization activity of microorganisms.
