Abstract
Purpose: to analyze the prospects of using the drip irrigation method for carrot growing and the scientific justification for its improvement.
Discussion. Carrots are a vegetable crop necessary for a healthy human diet. Irrigation is an important aspect of the agricultural sector, which affects the yield of vegetable crops, including carrots. In modern conditions of water scarcity, the volume of irrigation water is significantly reduced, which requires the use of water-saving irrigation methods, one of which is drip irrigation. The article presents an overview of the research works of domestic and foreign scientists on the use of drip irrigation in carrot cultivation.
Conclusions. The study of drip irrigation technology is an urgent and promising direction in the development of agricultural industry in our country, especially in the south of Russia in conditions of arid climate and water scarcity. Thus, the use of drip irrigation is very effective in growing carrots, when the quantity and quality of the resulting crop directly depend on soil preparation, timely watering and application of mineral fertilizers.
