Genesis and migration of salts in irrigated meadow sazovs soils

Abstract

The study focuses on the Central Fergana region, which is characterized by an arid climate and low natural drainage capacity. It has been observed that even the salts accumulating at a slow rate in such soils eventually reach significant concentrations. In irrigated lands, an additional 1–1.5 g of salts per liter of irrigation water is continuously introduced, leading to an increased accumulation of soluble salts both quantitatively and qualitatively. Furthermore, it has been noted that mineralized groundwater located close to the surface also contributes to this process.
