Summary

Research is devoted to study of irrigation water physical-technical properties changes under magnetic field impact; biologically -activated by magnetic field water influence on cotton yield capacity and soil water-physical properties. Climate is continental. Relief-flat plain with slope to north-west. Soils-meadow-takir; structure-loam and sandy loam. Ground water level is 2.4-3.5 m, salinity 10-20 g/l, type is chloride-sulfate. Total area gross is 25ha, net-24ha. Irrigation network is in earthen channel, efficiency is 0.8-0.85. Open collector-drainage network with depth 3.5-4.0m; specific extent is 20 m/ha. Plot is equipped with water and salt measurement means as well as magnetic unit for water activation YMO-1000-75. As result of study effectiveness of magneto-activated water use for cotton irrigation and forage crops was found. Recommendations for practical application are given.

Bibliography

Author: O.Nazarmamedov, Title: "Magneto-activated water use in reclamation" Modern physical methods of water system activation are analyzed. Magnetic units applied for irrigation water activation are described. Experience of magneto-activated water use for saline soil leaching in Murgab and Tedjen oasis is presented. System analysis of magneto-activated water pH and gas composition changes. Effectiveness of magneto-activated water with various salinity application for cotton and forage crops is shown.
