Development of Magnesium-Dominant Soils Under Irrigated Agriculture in Southern Kazakhstan
Irrational irrigation practices in the Arys Turkestan Canal command area in the southern part of Kazakhstan have led to the formation of soils with poor physical and chemical properties. To study whether irrigation and ...
Enhancing the productivity of high-magnesium soil and water resources in Central Asia through the application of phosphogypsum
Recent evidences from some irrigated areas worldwide, such as Central Asia, suggest that water used for irrigation contains magnesium (Mg2+) at levels higher than calcium (Ca2+). Excess levels of Mg2+ in irrigation water ...
Beyond the state order? Second crop production in the Ferghana Valley, Uzbekistan
After independence in 1991, Uzbekistan introduced a policy on food security and consequently
reduced the irrigated area allocated to cotton and increased the area of winter wheat.
Shifting to winter wheat allowed farmers ...
Mulching and water quality effects on soil salinity and sodicity dynamics and cotton productivity in Central Asia
Water scarcity and the predicted impact of climate change will necessitate the use of alternate available water resources in agriculture, such as saline water, to narrow the gap between demand and supply of freshwater. ...
Combining remote sensing and modeling approaches to assess soil salinity in irrigated areas of the Aral Sea Basin
Accurate assessment of the soil salinization is an important step for mitigation of agricultural land degradation. Remote sensing (RS) is widely used for salinity assessment, but knowledge on prediction precision is lacking. ...
