The presented research aimed to investigate the variations in agrocenoses parameters (soil and commercial yield) under biologized soil conditions of viticulture in the Shamakhi and Ganja regions, Azerbaijan. In the grapevine cultivars with varied salt tolerance, studies on the development of shoots and roots during their cultivation in salt solutions succeeded. Intensive monoculture production disrupts the small biological cycle of nutrients, reducing the productivity of agrocenoses. The said problem can reach an effective solution by the introduction of an eco-biological soil management system through green manuring, inter-row grassing, and the effective use of biofertilizers (live microbial inoculants) and agrobiological stimulators such as microorganisms. In Azerbaijan, for the first time, a comparison occurred between soil cultivation systems using a sod-humus substrate and a control option (bare fallow).

The implementation of an eco-biological soil management system (using green manure, inter-row grazing, and biostimulants) can combat the negative anthropogenic effects of intensive monoculture farming and increase viticulture productivity.
