Summary

Study is devoted to definition of rice water consumption norm cultivated    on    meadow-alluvial    saline    soils,    comparative assessment of designed and actual rice irrigation norm; optimal rice water consumption norm with regard to unsaturated zone desalinization; water use improvement; soil water-salt regime, providing planned rice yield. Plot is located in Amudarya delta's  north part.  Climate is continental, relief-hilly with slope to south-west.   Soils-meadow-desert strongly saline. Before irrigation ground water table was 3-10m with salinity 0.3-30g/l. Area is 45ha, land use efficiency is 0.71-0.83. Irrigation   network   in   earthen   channel.   Distribution   network consists of sites outlets (h=1.5m, drain-collectors (h=1.8m), in-farm collectors (h=2.5-3.0m); specific length is 44-47m/ha. In result of study rice irrigation norm components with regard for meadow-alluvial saline soils is found; rice optimal irrigation norm is   calculated   taking   into   account   rooting   zone   (0-1 00cm) desalinization and hydro-chemical parameters. Rice water consumption norm is found and water salt balance is prepared.

Key words
