Summary

Study of alfalfa high yield obtaining possibility in rice rotation maintaining soil-reclamation state of irrigated lands; creation of optimal conditions for main crop-rice;   irrigation regime and measures on prevention of seasonal salt restoration in root zone development; soil fertility increase;  ground  water  dynamics management and revealing possibility for its contribution to sub-irrigation. Kyzylkum massif is located on flat plain, soils are meadow-serozem, climate is continental. Soils consist of two layers: top-3m thick made of sandy loam and bottom-60v thick made of sand. Ground water is saline; irrigated area is 40ha; rice system is of Krasnodar type; irrigation canals of twofold action. In  result of investigations economically   expedient irrigation regime of alfalfa is recommended providing 9.26-10.44t/ha. Irrigation norm and schedule are determined. Amendments to designed irrigation norm under flood, furrow and sprinkler irrigation.

Key words
