Почвенные исследования Карабахского региона Азербайджанской Республики

Abstract

The article describes the qualities of common soils in the Karabakh region. The current state of soils has been studied. Agroecological features and proposals for the further use of the region’s soils are given. Most of the soil is suitable for agriculture. The soils are especially fertile in the Araz zone, Agdam, Fizuli, Jebrail and Gubadli regions. One of the important issues is the conduct of reclamation studies on these soils. Natural conditions are favorable for planting millet, peas, lentils, beans, as well as orchards (apples, pears, quince, pomegranates, dates, cherries, plums) and grape plantations, it is possible to plant mulberry seedlings for the development of cocoons. In the foothills and plains, there is an opportunity to grow industrial crops (cotton, corn, sunflower, soybeans). In these areas, it is possible to grow and obtain high yields of kiwi, which is a subtropical plant. The use of waters from the Araz, Khakari and Bargushad rivers, the Sarhang and Sugovushan reservoirs will ensure high yields. There are good conditions for gardening and planting potatoes in the high and middle mountainous parts of the Kelbajar, Shusha and Gubadli regions.
