In the conditions of dry-land farming, the leading factor of productivity, which is minimal, is moisture. Soil moisture directly influences the growth of plants by means of aeration, transfer of nutrient substances, absorption and transformation. The main crop acreage of the spike cereals in the south-east of Kazakhstan is located in dry farming lands that are characterized as dry and semidry, which means the region has a water deficit. The lack of natural moisture reserves, especially in dry years, as a rule, is one of the main reasons for the reduction in yields of winter wheat, which is the leading crop of non irrigated farming. The objective of this research is to determine the impact of the absorbing agent" Aquasorb" on the moisture reserve of soil and the yield of winter wheat. The research was performed in the field stationary land lot of the Kazakh Research Institute of Agriculture and Crop Production in the conditions of the semi provided dry farming land in the south-east of Kazakhstan. The field test was performed by means of applying the famous water-retaining absorbing agent "Aquasorb" before seeding winter wheat. The following application rates of the absorbing agent were used in the test: 0,20,40 kg/ha and their combination with the nitrogen top dressing in the dose N 45 . The results of the research revealed that the absorbing agent applied in the soil improved significantly the provision of winter wheat plants with the available moisture during the vegetation period and also made it possible to efficiently use the moisture for the formation of high yield.

The influence of various irrigation methods on the soybean water consumption rates and yield has been studied. It was established that the yield of the Lastochka soybean variety using the drip irrigation was 52.6 c/ha under the conditions of the Ili Alatau and 49.6 c/ha in the Kyrgyz Alatau, which is 8.0-8.14 c/ha more than when using the furrow irrigation. In both zones, the soybean consumption rates depended on the soil-hydrogeological state of the land.

Manuscript typesOriginal papers should report original researches that are expected to have a definite impact on the progress of science and technology. Originality will be documented by novel experimental results, theoretical treatments, interpretations of data, and absence of prior publications on the same/similar topics as evidenced by the literature cited in the manuscript or in bibliographic indexes. A manuscript must not exceed 25 double-spaced pages (font: Times; font size: 12 points) with 2.5 cm margins, including summary, references, tables and figures.Reviews should report information in a field in which the literature is scattered or should deal with published data or other information so as to provide a new approach or to stimulate further research. A manuscript must not exceed 40 double-spaced pages (font: Times; font size: 12 points) with 2.5 cm margins, including summary, references, tables and figures.Short communications should describe results deemed to be of high importance and urgency in their field. Only manuscripts reporting complete research, as opposed to preliminary results, will be considered. A justified request for expedited handling should be included in the letter accompanying the manuscript. Short communications must not exceed 10 doublespaced pages (font: Times; font size: 12 points) with 2.5 cm margins, including summary, references, tables and figures. Keywords -Provide significant keywords (no more than 5) to aid prospective readers in literature retrieval. Keywords should be listed in alphabetical order. Abbreviations -Abbreviations should be listed in alphabetical order after the keywords. SummarySummary is used directly for bibliographical indexes, and for this reason it should be clear, concise (maximum 150 words), informative rather than descriptive, giving scope and purpose, experimental approach, significant results, and major conclusions. Abbreviations may be used provided they are clearly explained in parentheses the first time they are used.
