APPLICATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF WATER-SAVING TECHNOLOGIES IN OUR COUNTRY

Аннотация

The article studies irrigation regimes for apple orchards using drip irrigation technology and presents the results. It was found that improving irrigation system components led to increased yields and more efficient use of water resources. The implementation of drip irrigation technology in intensive orchards has been proven to save up to 48% of water resources, 50% of mineral fertilizers, and 30% of fuel and lubricants. Additionally, the irrigation regime matches the water needs of the plants, preventing excess water use, with moisture being concentrated near the plant root zone rather than spreading across the entire field.
