Chemical land reclamation works, 1990–2025
From 1990 to 2025, chemical land reclamation activities were carried out in agricultural organizations, with volumes presented in an annual series. The rows present various types of activities: the area of limed acid soils in millions of hectares and the application volumes of limestone flour and other liming materials. The indicators cover the entire territory of the Russian Federation and allow for tracking changes in land treatment intensity over thirty-five years

How to read this table
The differences between rows allow for a comparison between the area of directly treated acid soils and the quantitative indicators for the application of various liming materials. This data enables an assessment of how approaches to soil quality improvement have changed and which specific substances were used for reclamation in different years. Data are presented in millions of hectares for areas and in other units for materials, providing a detailed view of the work structure
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: Gypsum, phosphogypsum and other gypsum-containing rocks applied (1 361), Phosphorite meal applied: — total, thousand t (942), Gypsum, phosphogypsum and other gypsum-containing rocks applied (941). The gap between highest and lowest is 972.1 times
Observations are annual and cover 36 periods. Cells with numbers: 315 out of 324 (97.2%). Minor gaps remain where the item was not observed in all periods

Period and application
Statistics are collected annually and cover the period from 1990 to 2025. Rosstat data on chemical land reclamation are useful to agronomists, soil scientists, and agricultural sector representatives for analyzing the condition of arable land. The information helps track long-term trends in the use of soil conditioners across the country
How it is calculated
Rosstat notes: From 2008 onwards excluding micro-enterprises. Data include information for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol
1) С 2008 года без учета микропредприятий.
2) Данные приведены с учетом сведений по Республике Крым и г. Севастополю.
3) С 2022 года без учета статистической информации по Донецкой Народной Республике (ДНР), Луганской Народной Республике (ЛНР), Запорожской и Херсонской областям.
