Soil erosion is a worldwide problem. Issues related to soil erosion in many countries, including Uzbekistan, are resolved at the government level. The article provides a brief summary of soil erosion and its varieties, and methods of combating it, analyzes the results obtained from the study of soil selected for the creation of mulberry plantations according to agricultural technology of the Uzbek Research Institute of Natural Fibers (UzRINF). The conclusion is made on the possibility of using mulberry plantations as a protective barrier against water and wind erosion in erosion-hazardous areas and to improve the reclamation conditions of soil. Recommendations are also given on the need to continue research on the creation of protective mulberry plantations in saline, degraded, low-fertile regions of the Aral Sea region to improve the ecological and reclamation state of soils and to prevent desertification of the soil cover of the region.

This article presents the results of research on the development of new patterns of crepe fabrics for dress from natural silk and technology of their production. Today, the deep processing of cocoon raw materials, production of finished silk products, and development of new and in-demand fabric structures is an urgent and important problem. Crepe fabric - crepe de Chine consists of interwoven warp and weft yarn, which is produced by plain weaving. The structure of this fabric has long been known and its range is quite limited. In order to expand the assortment of crepe fabrics made from natural silk, their new structures have been developed, where the fabric contains warp threads of low twist right or left twist direction in 2 and/or 3 folds twisted into one low twist thread are taken as warp threads. A technological chain has been developed for the production of a new structure of dressing crepe fabric, technological parameters for rewinding, crushing, twisting of threads and the development of a new fabric structure on a loom, as well as requirements for the processes themselves. The results can be applied at the enterprises of the silk industry.

The article presents the results of research on the development of new fabric structures for natural silk headscarves and their production technology. The deep processing of cocoons, production of finished silk products, the development of new structures are the important issues to be considered. As is known, fabric for headscarves consists of interwoven warp and weft yarn, produced by plain weaving. The structure of this fabric has been known for quite some time and its range is limited. In order to expand the range of fabrics for headscarves, from natural silk, new fabric structures for headscarves based on twill weaving and the technology for their production have been developed. A technological chain for the production of a new fabric structure for headscarves, technological parameters for rewinding, crushing, twisting of threads and for the development of a new fabric structure on a loom has been developed. The results can be applied to the enterprises for silk industry. A new silk fabric structure for headscarves and its production technology have been introduced to «Bukhаrа Brilliant Silk».
