The irrigation regimes have been developed on the basis of long-term (over 30 years) stationary studies on the technological elements of micro-irrigation of orchards, vineyards and vegetable farms of Nizhnegorsky, Simferopol, Bakhchisaraisky, Razdolnensky and Saksky districts of Crimea. They allow the soil water regime in gardens, vineyards and on farms growing vegetable crops to be optimized, thus providing water supply to the active root zone of the soil, at optimum time and rate. Moreover, water consumption has been saved at 1.5-3 times and more, energy consumption by 30-40%, as compared with other methods of irrigation. In the course of research the representative points in the soil profile have been determined and the regression equations, needed to find out the moisture level in these points, have been obtained. Using the formulas with minimum time and money consumption, it is possible to determine the presence of moisture in the entire active root zone of soil. The high efficiency of using the drip irrigation systems has been ascertained. Download (in Russian) (pdf, 187 kB)  Source: http://cyberleninka.ru/
