This article considers the features of
East Prussian land use system, whose crucial
component was technologies for land
fertility increase. A special package of
measures in the framework of melioration
and irrigation activities accounted for the
high productivity of agriculture in this territory
despite the fact that the local climate
conditions can hardly be called perfect according
to the well-known principles of
agricultural science. The authors offer an
overview of scientific approaches to the
reconstruction and practical application of
ideas and principles of progressive agriculture
consistent with a more general
area of organic agriculture. Special attention
is paid to the modern agricultural
practice in the territory of the Kaliningrad
region — former East Prussia — and the
possibilities to use the methods for increasing
land fertility that were intensively
employed by Prussians.... view less
