GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN PHYTOMELIORATIVE PLANTS UNDER SALINE SOIL CONDITIONS OF IRRIGATED LANDS IN NORTHERN KARAKALPAKSTAN

The article presents the results of scientific experiments conducted on irrigated lands of the A. Dosnazarov site in the Karauzyak district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. As part of the project, experiments were carried out to improve the ecological and reclamation condition of irrigated soils with varying degrees of salinity by cultivating certain halophytic plant species suitable for use as livestock fodder and acting as phytomeliorants. During the study, phenological observations were conducted on different halophyte cultivation variants, green biomass was weighed, and the dry matter content of each plant species was determined.
