Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Modern problems of pasture degradation caused by anthropogenic impact and climate change require the search for new, environmentally safe solutions.The proposed technology of creating cultivated annual pastures with the use of biostimulants is a promising approach to restore and increase the productivity of pasture ecosystems.The study conducted in the south of Kazakhstan demonstrates high efficiency of biostimulants, especially those that fermented cattle manure.In contrast with traditional mineral fertilizers (N 20 P 20 K 20 ), biostimulants MERS and Bio-Bars contribute not only to the increase in yield of green mass, but also improve soil characteristics by stimulating the growth of beneficial microflora.This makes it possible to create self-regenerating pasture systems resistant to negative environmental impact.The novelty of the study lies in the integrated approach combining the use of biostimulants and fermentation of organic waste.This approach not only increases the efficiency of resource use, but also promotes a closed cycle of production, minimizing the negative impact on the environment.
