Improving condition of desert pastures by planting saxaul and cherkez plants

Abstract

The article provides information on large degraded areas in almost all areas, of which 17.5 million hectares of dry natural pastures are allocated for cattle breeding out of 32 million hectares of desert and semi-desert areas in Uzbekistan. It is also noted that 40% of desert and semi-desert pastures have degraded pastures to varying degrees, the average productivity has decreased by 20-30%, and 8.0 million degraded pastures should be improved first. To improve the condition of degraded desert and semi-desert pastures, the authors noted that it is possible to increase their productivity by 10-15 times due to the establishment of cultural pastures by replanting nutritious wild plants and comparing their productivity. To improve the productivity and ecological restoration of degraded livestock pastures in our Republic's desert and semi-desert areas, he considered the mechanization of planting saxovul and cherkez plants from nutritious shrubs and developing a planting unit for this purpose. For this purpose, the devices used in planting the seeds of plants with the same physical and mechanical properties as the desert plants from the seeds of nutritious plants growing naturally in the wild in our Republic and foreign countries and their shortcomings have been determined.
