Improvement of water and land productivity
![](i/04.jpg)
The results of the farms' study and observations provide us with an opportunity to identify the causes of reduced efficiency of agricultural farms production. The most common causes of low-effective use of irrigation water and agricultural production are:
- Unstable supply of irrigation water to the farms;
- Inappropriate schemes and irrigation technology options;
- Unnormalized use of irrigation water;
- Use of fertilizers regardless to types, timing and application rates;
- Poor quality of technical and agricultural land treatment;
- Delays in pest and diseases control.
Based on the analysis of the current situation in the farms, the following recommendations for organization and imple-mentation of agricultural operations, including the various technologies of crops irrigation and land treatment have been developed.
It is recommend to do to obtain a good harvest and profit:
- Use effective technological scheme of irrigation, taking into account the characteristics of each field;
- Use irrigation water in accordance with the requ-irements of the crop considering the soil-reclamation conditions;
- Apply the recommended norms of mineral and organic fertilizers within the recommended time schedule;
- Use the control measures against diseases and pests effectively;
- Conduct all agronomic works on timely basis.
