The results of soil losses management studying due to wind and water soil erosion crops rotations proposed based on methodologies of NSC “Institute for Soil Science and Agrochemistry Research named after O.N. Sokolovsky". The main purpose of our research was to assess the soil losses under influence of wind and water erosion in crop rotation. The works were planned to determine how erosion types correspond to crops or having the same effect on a similar field parts in the crop rotation of Ukrainian Eastern Steppe part. It was also planned to compare soils losses in similar gradations (allowable, slight, moderate, high) with the following analysis of the differences in the manifestation dynamics under different agricultural crops (fallow, winter crops, barley, oat, corn for grain, corn for silage, millet, peas), and different parts of fields. It is proposed when determining the erosion risk of the territory, the areas of such soils must be protected by such crops with minimal losses from the destructive effects of wind erosion and surface runoff. It is possible to state the cumulative manifestation of erosion and deflation on the territory of the region, but it is impossible to separate the contours of eroded and deflated soils in detail, therefore, in erosion situations proposed to obtain separate influence of each erosion (wind and water) on already eroded or erosionally hazardous lands.
