GENERAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF IRRIGATED SIEROZEM-MEADOW SOILS

The article describes the general physical properties of irrigated sierozem-meadow soils formed on alluvial-proluvial deposits of the Shakhimardansay removal cone. in sierozem-meadow soils, the bulk density increases down the profile depending on the prescription of irrigation, and the humus content also decreases down the soil profile. In general, in the gray earth zone, the volumetric mass of the arable layer decreases from the beginning of the alluvial fan to its low-lying part.
