Summary

Goal of investigations is development and experimental- production control of low-pressure drip irrigation technology of horticulture  on around-stem furrows  without fine water cleaning with the use as water outlets polyethylene tubes 4 mm diameter.Plot is located in Vakhsh valley. Climate is sharply continental.Soils are made of non-saline, slightly loamy subsident loess.Ground waters are at a depth more than 80 m. Plot irrigation is implemented from irrigation canal with salinity less than 0.7 g/l of hydrocarbonate-calcium type, with suspended particles content 1.5-3.0 g/l.Relief is hilly.Plot area is 13 ha (net).Irrigation system consists of main, distributive and irrigation pipelines equipped with tubes-water outlets. As a result of long-term investigations it was determined that low-pressure drip irrigation can be used in soils of different grade and permeability; fresh water is preferable with turbidity up to 3,5 –4,0 mg/l.

Recommendations on necessary slopes and pipe diameters are given. Hydraulic calculation methodology of irrigation network for various conditions is developed.

Key words

drip irrigation, ring furrow; water outlets: irrigation network, hydraulic characteristics, 

irrigation regimes; orchards; vineyards.
