Detailed description of the Approach

Aims / objectives: Principle of the excavated disposition of phytomeliorants on a pasturable lands of deserted zone of the Kazakhstan with the purpose of accumulation of an additional moisture and protection of territory against wind erosion. 1) The purpose of the given approach is to keep the pasturable lands of the arid zone to save up an additional moisture and to protect pastures against wind erosion. 2) The excavated disposition of phytomeliorants (saxaul, calligonum) should be applied on degradative sites of pastures. The given approach allows to create additional humidifying of the ground that conducts to increasing of the period of grassy vegetation and enrichment of its specific structure. For planting are used one and two years nurseling. Planting of nurselings are carrying out in the early spring on depth of 35-40 cent. into strip lines. There are created two three rowed strips. The distance between strips and plants of three meters. After planting once watering. Before planting strip lines are creating in manual or by machine LPA -1. Many farmers of the southern Pribalhashya uses the given approach on the pastures for prevention against wind erosion.
