The field experiments were carried out in the conditions of the Ararat Valley on winter wheat and barley in 2020–2022. The production removal of nitrogen by 5–7 t ha-1 grain of winter wheat and 9.6–13.3 t ha-1 straw varies between 155–247, P2O5: 60–88, K2O: 134–197 kg ha-1 , and the amounts removed by barley grain 4.5–6.5 t ha-1 and straw 6.9–9.7t ha-1 were 122–194, 49–77 and 106–159 kg ha-1 , respectively. The amounts of nitrogen and potassium production removal from plant crops are about 2 times higher than the doses of applied fertilizers, and the amount of phosphorus is almost balanced by these doses
