Summary
According to archeological research and written sources, irrigated agriculture, which appeared in Ustrushan in ancient times, developed in later periods, and agriculture based on artificial irrigation systems developed in the country. An unnamed author of Hudud al-Alam describes Jizzakh as a "city near running water." From these data it is possible to know that in the Middle Ages in Ustrushona, especially in its north-western rusts, in the present-day Jizzakh oasis, there were extensive irrigation systems, highly developed irrigated agriculture. During the reign of the Shaybanids in the 16th century, the Jizzakh oasis, in particular, a large administrative center from the Horde, which was its main city at that time, was used as a convenient military base.
