Abstract
The article is dedicated to the memory of the leading agrochemist-soil scientist of the second half of the 19th and early 20th century, Professor Peter Samsonovich Kossovich. The formation of an outstanding scientist as a researcher and teacher is shown. The contribution of P.S. Kossovich to the development of agrochemistry, soil science and agriculture is described. His research has established that leguminous plants fix nitrogen of the air with roots, not leaves. P.S. Kossovich proposed several classifications of soils, described the features of a number of soils, pointed out techniques for increasing their fertility. The article was written in connection with the 160th anniversary of P.S. Kossovich.
