In the south-eastern zone of Kazakh-
stan, with an abundance of solar heat and
the availability of irrigation water, the vine-
yards make it possible to get a good har-
vest and can be highly profitable. With a
high potential opportunity, the productivi-
ty of a modern vineyard in Kazakhstan re-
mains low. It is known that the main factor
for increasing the productivity of grape
plantations is the assortment, which is im-
proved both by introducing varieties based
on soil-climatic analogues, and by breeding
and introducing genotypes created by
methods of combinational selection on a
genetic basis [9].
Today, in our country, the planting
area of vineyards is about 15 thousand
hectares, new territories are being devel-
oped, and serious research work is being
done by scientific research institutes. Ac-
cording to experts, the potential of Kazakh-
stan’s viticulture is great - in the south of
the country there are still about 60 thou-
sand hectares of land suitable for growing
grapes, but they are not used for objective
and subjective reasons [10].
OBJECTS AND METHODS
In the conditions of the south-east,
the population of the mesofauna of dark
brown soils was studied at the experi-
mental site of «Kazakh Scientific Research
Institute of fruit growing and viticulture»
of Talgar district of Almaty region. The ob-
jects of research were the grape varieties in
the ampelographic collection: Almaly, Ai-
sulu. Planting year of the vineyard is 2001.
Scheme of placement of bushes -
3.0 x 1.5 m. The number of accounting bush-
es in the plot - 10. During this research, the
generally accepted methods approved by
long-term practice “Methodical guidelines
on the selection of grapes”, “Methods of
agrotechnical research” and “Studying
grapes varieties” were used [11-15].

Soil richness depends on the type
and variety of soil, on natural conditions
and human activities. Their role in soil for-
mation is exceptional. They are the active
factor, the activity of which involves the
processes of decomposition of organic sub-
stances and their transformation into soil
humus. Soil invertebrates assimilate at-
mospheric nitrogen. They secrete biologi-
cal substances necessary for the synthesis
of enzymes and proteins, are the most ac-
tive factor in the biological circulation of
substances. The flow of plant nutrients into
the soil solution, and, consequently, soil
fertility depends on their activity.
It should be noted that in the
ZailiAlatau soils a gradual increase in the
activity of the mesofauna from sierozem to
chernozem is observed.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In the dark brown soils of the
ZailiAlatau there is a slight decrease in the
