ASSESSMENT OF THE MODERN SPRINKLER IRRIGATION REGIME FOR SORGHUM CULTIVATION IN THE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF KARAKALPAKSTAN

Abstract

In the area of irrigated agriculture, sprinkler irrigation is used on meadow and gray-earth meadow soils, where fresh and partially mineralized groundwater is located close to the surface, as well as on soils with high water permeability. In comparison with other types of irrigation through furrows or surface irrigation, sprinkling has a number of advantages: it creates favorable conditions for plant development, not only increases soil moisture, but also increases humidity in the surface air layer, reduces air temperature and reduces the cost of evaporation and transpiration of plants.
