Abstract

 

Defining the correct irrigation regime is crucial for the cultivation of crops. To determine the water balance coefficient and irrigation needs, we utilized Professor G. Selianinov's method for Saimerlo village. The need for irrigation was determined; Irrigation indicators of the soil of Saimerlo village were set on; The share of the area occupied by each crop on the agricultural land plot and hydro module values were determined; An incompleted schedule of the hydro module was built, which showed us the uneven distribution of water demand, therefore, after correcting the incompleted schedule of the hydro module, a completed schedule of the hydro module was worked out, this allowed us to determine the required amount of water for each irrigation period; A curve depicting the amount of water required was created.
