Description of the SLM Technology
Short description of the Technology
Localization of erosion processes and moisture accumulation by creation haloxylon strips in pastures of north desert
Detailed description of the Technology
1. Pasture-protective haloxylon strips are created by sowing of seeds or planting of seedlings. Strips are three-row with 3 m spacing and 3 m distance between plants.
2. Strips are destined to accumulate a precipitation, decrease wind velocity and localize degradation centers in pastures.
3. Getting the additional feed for agricultural animals and fuel for people .
4. Not more than 500 ha is introduced in South Pribalkhashye.
5. The value of 1 ha of strips is 5500 tenge taking into account a preparation of soil, collection of seeds and sowing. The value of 1 ha of strips, made by planting of seedlings is 7200 tenge.
6. This technology is recommended in north Kazakhstan desert.
