Abstract
In recent years, research has been actively conducted on the use of drip irrigation in the cultivation of fruit and berry crops. It is known that drip irrigation helps to save irrigation water, as well as to create an optimal water-air regime of the soil throughout the growing season, which allows increasing the yield of agricultural land. Due to the technical features of the drip system, this irrigation method can be used for growing a wide variety of crops, adjusting it to the physiological needs of plants with a high degree of accuracy, depending on the natural and climatic conditions of the territory. Drip irrigation provides water supply directly to the root system of the plant, so water does not linger on the leaves, which significantly reduces the likelihood of diseases, creates a favorable microclimate in the surface layer, there is no over-compaction of the soil, which improves its aeration and the development of the root system of irrigated crops, and also helps to reduce water consumption. In addition, water-soluble fertilizers, nutrients and trace elements necessary for plant growth and development can be supplied through the drip irrigation system, which makes the system universal for use in agriculture. The article provides an analysis and generalization of the results of some studies and works on the use of drip irrigation in gardens and nurseries, for the cultivation of fruit and berry crops. The results of the considered works and studies show how effective modern drip irrigation systems are, how these systems differ from other irrigation methods, what disadvantages there are, and also by what indicators they are superior.
