Abstract
The application of magnetometry in service provision of agricultural production is a very promising market. However, a number of methodical tasks stand in the way of active introduction of soil magnetometry. One of them is taking into account the impact of anomaly-forming processes, among which there is the alternation of washout - washout zones under the action of erosion processes. This paper investigates the spatial distribution of magnetic susceptibility of the soils of the sloping agricultural landscape and its relationship with key agronomic characteristics. The most significant deviations are characteristic of the first third of the range of organic carbon content values. Such values are characteristic of the lower parts of the landscape, with the most pronounced manifestations of washout.
