THE EFFECT OF IRRIGATION REGIMES ON THE SOIL SALINITY AND WATER REGIME

Abstract

This article examines the effect of irrigation regimes on the soil water–salt regime. The influence of irrigation rates, timing, and methods on soil moisture and salt movement is analyzed. In addition, the processes of soil salinization caused by improper irrigation practices and their negative impact on soil fertility are discussed. The research findings demonstrate that the scientifically based management of irrigation regimes plays a crucial role in improving the soil's reclamation status, preventing salinization, and achieving higher agricultural crop yields.
