Abstract :This article is dedicated to soils, that cover 75% of Gagauz Yeri territory - those are carbonate and ordinary chernozem. These soils are plowed intensively, losing the fertility and,as a result, degrade. It is necessary to conduct an agrochemical examination once every 5 years for improving the soil quality. The examination is always carried for vineyards and gardens, but not for soils. The last soil examination was conducted back to 1986 during the collective farms period. The data on N,P,K is received if one conducts the agrochemical research, as well as the monitoring of humus quality. Monitoring shows the soil quality and the need for additional soil nutrition.
