Summary

Studies are dedicated to grounding of alfalfa irrigation effective methods in rice crop rotations and establishment of optimal irriga­tion technique elements providing opportunity of high alfalfa crop yields obtaining under maintaining and improving irrigated lands reclamation state. Climate is continental. Soils - meadow-gray desert, medium saline. Ground water table is 1.2-1.5 m (in vegetation period), 2.7-3.0 m (in autumn-winter period). EPP with area 35-40 ha are represented by rice irrigation system structure of maps of Krasnodar type. Alfalfa irrigation - ordinary checks' flooding, in checks over stripes, over furrows, by overflow irrigation with the help of ÏÏÀ-165. According to results of stud­ies for application on Kzylkul rice irrigation system alfalfa furrow and overflow irrigation with the help of ÏÏÀ-165 was recom­mended. Recommended methods allow to reduce irrigation depth to 850-900 m3/ha that is 40-50% less than under ordinary checks' flooding and gives proper uniformity of soil wetting, reduces irrigation time significantly, creates favorable water-aerial conditions for alfalfa, high norm of profitability as well as the most efficiency of men­tioned costs.

Results of studies are given on grounding alfalfa irrigation meth­ods in rice crop rotations. Their influence on aggregate and micro-aggregate soil composition, ground water table dynamics, crops' physiology was defined. Irrigation system parameters and possibil­ity of different irrigation methods application were given. 2.   Authors - Zhdanov G.N., Bykov V.G. Title - "Alfalfa in Shymkent oblast" "Forage", 1974.
