The Issues of Agricultural Lands in the Jrarat Community of Armavir Region and their Solution Ways

Abstract

Four different land plots with 8 ha total area have been explored to evaluate the physicochemical and ameliorative state of uncultivated soils in the subzones of Araks riverside. The physicochemical properties of the soil samples, chemical composition of water extract, content of water-soluble salts and available nutrients have been studied. It is recommended to conduct physicochemical and agrochemical evaluation of the fallow soils in order to include them in the agricultural activities. Besides, ameliorants should be introduced in weakly salinized soils, greenhouse farms should be established in poor soils, while the irrigation should be implemented only through drip and sprinkling irrigation methods.
