IDENTIFICATION OF DROUGHT-TOLERANT CROPS FOR SHORT-TERM CROP ROTATION SYSTEMS

The correct selection of drought-resistant peas, barley, safflower, flax, triticale and other crops in short-term crop rotation systems in the farms of Kamashi district, Kashkadarya region, in the southern region of Uzbekistan, and the production of high-quality, abundant crops from them is of great importance. These crops are fast maturing, highly adaptable to unfavorable soil and climate conditions, absorb 60-70 percent of total water consumption due to autumn-winter natural precipitation, and provide up to 300-350 ts/ha of blue mass feed as an intermediate crop even in the years when the summer season is hot and dry
