Abstract The article presents an analytical review of Ukrainian and foreign sources of literature on the peculiarities of the productivity of the orchard agroecosystem and the impact of agrotechnical measures, in particular fertilization. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the productivity of orchard agrobiocenoses is determined not only by mineral nutrition, but also by their ecological state, an important regulator of which is the soil environment, which is significantly influenced by fertilization. However, before recommending the application of certain measures that have an anthropogenic impact in orchards, in particular on the productivity of plantations, it is necessary to find out what changes in the soil environment contributed to an increase or decrease in yield. Therefore, this issue is relevant in horticulture, especially when establishing new intensive plantations in the places of uprooted orchards, where soil fatigue is manifested, and there is a need to improve soil fertility under them for further high productivity. Nevertheless, a significant drawback of these studies in horticulture is the insufficient study of changes in the main parameters of soil fertility and the impact on their productivity of plantations depending on variety-stock combinations and plantation designs in general. In most experiments, it was limited to determining the content of basic macronutrients, humus, changes in acidity, soil moisture, and soil density. Most studies were conducted in short-term experiments, although such studies should be conducted in the dynamics in long-term experiments.
