The efficient use and conservation of agricultural land resources are of paramount importance for the agriculture of Uzbekistan. This article analyzes the factors negatively impacting the degradation and erosion of agricultural lands, as well as soil fertility and crop productivity. It emphasizes the necessity of balanced use of organic and mineral fertilizers to maintain soil fertility and enhance agricultural productivity. Additionally, recommendations are provided for improving soil health and adopting sustainable agricultural practices.
