The characteristics of irrigated meadow-swamp soils and their quality

Abstract

It is known that the soils of the Bukhara oasis were formed in a dry and sharply continental climate. Therefore, the relationship between soil-forming parent rocks and groundwater is important. This article describes the natural processes that take place in this relationship, the negative effects that affect soil fertility. The article examines the mechanical composition, salinity, nutrient content, and fertility of these soils by the example of a single type of soil in Vabkent district, and describes their importance for irrigated lands. In particular, the origin, distribution, chemical properties, productivity, as well as quality of irrigated meadow-swamp soils were determined by morphological, profile and other methods compared with the results of previous years.
