Abstract
The purpose of the study is to develop a method for determining the water supply rate for drip irrigation of woody fruit crops, which ensures the formation of soil moisture zones with specified geometric and humidity parameters. The experimental basis of the proposed method was made up of materials from studies of humidification contours performed at 12 experimental sites in the gardens of the Rostov region. The methodological approach to the development provided for the generalization, systematization and consistent use of copyright dependencies and techniques in solving the problem of determining the value of the irrigation rate. When calculating the irrigation rate for drip irrigation of gardens, it is recommended to use the concept of the water supply rate, which refers to the volume of water supplied by one dropper per irrigation into the soil space and ensuring the formation of a humidification contour in the soil column with specified geometric dimensions and humidity parameters. The concept of the author’s approach to determining the irrigation rate of drip irrigation of gardens is formulated, which provides for the formation of humidification zones in the soil space with specified geometric and humidity parameters, taking into account: characteristics of the soil cover, climatic conditions, phenological characteristics of cultivated crops, technological parameters of drip irrigation and constructive solutions of the irrigation network. As a result, a methodology has been developed for determining the irrigation rate of drip irrigation of industrial gardens, including the author’s dependencies for calculating: the rate of water supply by one drip, the geometric parameters of the local contour of drip moistening of the soil, the area of nutrition of cultivated crops, the required area of humidification of each plant and the number of drippers for watering it.
