Abstract

The paper discusses various surface irrigation methods for agricultural crops: conventional, border strip, free flooding, and the traditional "Georgian flooding" technique. The article analyzes the technical parameters of each method—water discharge, irrigation plot dimensions, and flow management techniques—considering soil types and terrain slopes. Special attention is given to the role of the irrigator, mechanization conditions, and methods for maintaining soil structure. In the context of surface irrigation, plant protection is primarily linked to moisture control to prevent fungal diseases and the spread of weeds.
