The article provides a scientific and theoretical analysis of the legal basis of agrochemical certification of land in Ukraine. It is indicated that ensuring the protection of agricultural land is impossible without the creation of an effective mechanism for maintaining the quality of soils, which requires their agrochemical certification. It is noted that despite the systematic adoption of «program» documents, this process remains unfinished so far.
Particular attention is paid to the analysis of land legislation in the field of use of agrochemical certification data in the transfer of land ownership or provision for use, including on lease. The author emphasizes that despite the direct indication of the need to use the data of agrochemical certification in the transfer of ownership of land contained in the Law of Ukraine «On Land Protection», their absence is not grounds for revocation of decisions or recognition of agreements aimed at transferring rights ownership of land, invalid.
The author concludes that in the conditions of opening of the market of agricultural lands, obligatory use of the data of agrochemical passports at change of the owner of the land plot or the conclusion of lease agreements is especially important. Compliance with this requirement will help not only to preserve the quality characteristics of land, but also to ensure the protection of the rights of their owners. To this end, it is necessary to make a number of changes to the land legislation of Ukraine, in particular the Land Code of Ukraine, the Laws of Ukraine «On Land Management» and «On Land Lease».
