IRRIGATION REGIME OF A FRUITFUL APPLE ORCHARD IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE HISSOR VALLEY
The experiments were carried out in an apple orchard, planted with varieties of intensive type Kam-spur, Fuji, Idared at the Faizobod experimental gardening station. The task of the research was to scientifically substantiate the optimal irrigation regime for the planted varieties, which ensures the receipt of high sustainable yields of good quality fruits with a low cost. Based on the research results, the terms and rates of watering of fruiting apple trees in medium dry, humid and severely dry years are given. With soil moisture not less than 70% and compliance with the cultivation technology, the yield of the studied varieties increased by 1.5 times.
